Since childhood, I have had a strong interest in families and the relationships that form between parents and children. During college, this interest became a passion leading me towards a degree in Sociology, with Families as my specialization, and a minor in Human Development. Currently I am working toward my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. While completing my graduate studies online, I am also a stay-at-home mother to two young boys (2006 & 2011).

Both through my own parenting experiences and through my studies, I have taken a strong interest in Attachment Parenting. This approach to parenting goes beyond baby-wearing, co-sleeping, or breastfeeding; Attachment Parenting is a mindset that involves encouraging parents to follow their own intuition and to listen and respond to cues from their children on a regular basis. This approach has been somewhat controversial and is often misunderstood by many parents. I hope to create an environment of support and resources for parents seeking to learn more about attachment parenting and to foster an atmosphere of encouragement between parents.
