Hi, I’m Elise!

Welcome to my site! I’m delighted to share my passion for children and youth development as well as education.

I’ve spent more than 25 years working with kids, parents, groups, teams, and communities, and here’s what I’ve learned: real life doesn’t follow the textbook.

What works beautifully on paper doesn’t always work when you put actual people in the room. That’s where I’m good.

I’ve been the misbehaving little girl (ask my mom), the hormonal teenage nightmare (maybe don’t ask my mom about that one), the young mom, the exhausted mom, the mom who sacrificed a lot, the woman who started over, the woman who got it together, and the competent (badass) woman I am today.

Today, I bring that experience into speaking, training, facilitating, consulting, and program development.

For when the usual answer isn’t a good fit.

Elise
