The question isn’t so much “Are you parenting the right way?” as it is: “Are you the adult you want your child to grow up to be?”

About Me

Hey there! I’m Shannon—think of me as your family’s architect, helping you build strong foundations of connection, resilience, and emotional intelligence.

As an international educator, counselor, and parent, I’ve spent over two decades helping families navigate the challenges of raising resilient kids while balancing frequent relocations, cultural shifts, and the demands of international life.

Through years of working with globally mobile families, I’ve seen firsthand that children thrive when parents create a supportive, stable environment—even in the midst of change. But when everything around them is shifting, that stability can feel impossible to maintain.

That’s where I come in.

Using Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) strategies and Positive Psychology, I help internationally minded parents turn chaos into connection and raise emotionally intelligent, resilient kids with confidence. My approach bridges the gap between home and school, ensuring your parenting aligns with what your child is experiencing in their learning environment—helping them feel secure, confident, and understood.

Whether you're managing daily chaos, frequent travel, or preparing your child for their next transition, I’ll help you create a strong, adaptable foundation your family can rely on.

Let’s raise emotionally healthy humans who thrive across borders, cultures, and every new chapter of life.
