Mentoring, community, and resource center for navigating Life with your complex kid
I know you want what’s best for your kids, but sometimes, finding the right answers or support seems impossible. You're probably feeling overwhelmed-like you don't know how to care for your kid. You might feel disconnected from all your mom friends because they just don't get it or guilty because you just want your life back.
And we’ve all received that well-meaning advice like, “They’ll grow out of it.” However, your heart tells you differently.
I get it!
I’ve been there!
Trust your mamma gut!
You don't have to figure this all out on your own. At Collective Wisdom For Complex Kids, we empower parents by giving them the comfort and guidance they need to become their kid's advocate so they can navigate with confidence and create the best life for their child and family.
I will lead you through each part of the journey.
Together, we'll work through the phases of my THRIVE framework to get real answers, so you feel confident advocating for your kid.

My resources and support systems are designed to help you navigate the overwhelming world of medical, educational, and therapeutic services.
The journey of Collective Wisdom for Complex Kids started with my personal experiences.
I understand the frustration, fear, and isolation that can come with raising a complex child. I want parents to know they are not alone because I felt alone.
I was the parent who couldn’t take her child to a restaurant because of tantrums. I thought I was doing something wrong. I spent hours looking for answers at the pediatrician’s office weekly, trying to understand why my son wasn’t sleeping or speaking like the other kids his age were.
My son’s early struggles with eating and speech, coupled with the various diagnoses we encountered inspired me to seek solutions not just for my family but for all families facing similar challenges.
kid has been wrongly categorized based on symptoms. Complex kids are
children, teens, or young adults who...
Struggle with some aspects of life, learning, or both.
Have a single diagnosis, such as dyslexia or ADHD.
Have one or more coexisting conditions, or no specific diagnosis.
Have a complicated combination of symptoms (accurate diagnosis and treatment get more complex).
Don't worry, we can help!
"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."
