    What Parents Say

    “Julie’s classes have changed my whole approach to parenting. I HIGHLY recommend her to every parent. The techniques that she teaches are refreshingly different and really work in practice. If you feel like you have ‘tried everything’ with your child, I urge you to try this.”
