“Dana’s guidance was truly the Rx we needed to dig us out of the trenches of early twins parenting (and beyond!). It was invaluable for us to watch and listen to the way that Dana would work her magic with our children during class time. I still use the words and tools that I learned from her each day… namely thanking our children for hearing us and speaking to them in a respectful way. Even beyond her work with our children, Dana creates a safe environment for parents to feel comfortable sharing their own feelings and struggles they are experiencing, without judgment.”
