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 more than twenty years helping families raise resilient kids while navigating relocations, cultural shifts, and the unique demands of international life.

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

That’s where I come in.

Using strategies from Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and Positive Psychology, I help internationally minded parents turn chaos into connection. Together, we raise emotionally intelligent, resilient kids with confidence.

My approach bridges the gap between home and school. It ensures your parenting aligns with what your child is learning in the classroom so they feel secure, understood, and ready to thrive.

Whether you are managing daily chaos, adjusting to a new country, or preparing for yet another move, I will help you build a strong and adaptable foundation your family can rely on.

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