Let's be honest, we all desperately want what's best for our kids, but when raising a complex child, it feels like we're failing.
We're overwhelmed, and unsure of how to advocate for them. And finding the right answers
seems impossible!
I promise, you're not alone...
I used to be that mom who couldn't even take her kid to a restaurant without a meltdown. I felt like a complete failure-like I was doing everything wrong.
Every week I was at the pediatrician's office, desperate for answers. And the comparisons he made to other children my son's age were brutal.
Good news...the journey isn't yours alone, mama!
For over 10 years, I've been on a mission to find solutions for my own child, and for other moms on the same journey.
I'm here to share all I have learned, offering the right guidance and support so you can create the best life for your complex kid and family.
"I had the privilege of working with Michelle's son for several years at Speech Point, and during that time, I saw how dedicated and passionate Michelle is as both a mother and an advocate. We attended multiple IEP meetings together, where her strong advocacy, knowledge, and commitment to ensuring her son received the support he needed were evident. She is incredibly empathetic and always focused on his success. What stands out even more is how Michelle has now taken those advocacy skills and is helping other moms navigate the complexities of speech therapy and related services. There is such a need for the kind of guidance she provides, and she does it with determination, care, and a true 'get it done' attitude. Her impact is truly remarkable."
"Michelle has been one of the best people I have meet. She has been so kind and so helpful. She has so much knowledge and she cares so much and I feel that every time we speak. She is a true friend and support through everything. I feel so blessed to have met her."
"Hearing Michelle speak was life-changing for me as a mom of a complex kid. Her ability to combine practical advice with humor made me feel seen and understood for the first time. She didn’t just talk about the challenges we face, but celebrated every small win, reminding us that progress is progress. I left her keynote feeling empowered, with real tools I could use to improve my family dynamic. Michelle speaks straight to your heart, and you know she’s lived it. Her words brought me hope and energy to keep going."
