“Monique was a beacon of light for me as a first-time father. We met in her Parent/Child class. Her calm, grounded presence helped me navigate the unexpected and unknown of fatherhood. As questions presented themselves, she was a trusted, compassionate resource. She modeled observation and consciousness around fatherhood that is still with me to this day. Plus, I've met her kids (who are now adults) and I can attest that Monique walks her talk. Her kids are what we all hope our kids will become; kind, caring, confident people.”

“As a new parent, Miss Monique’s parent-child class was a godsend! I was so overwhelmed with parenthood and Monique’s calm, soothing demeanor let me relax and gave me a clear sense that everything was going to be alright. Her sincerity and genuine kindness let me know I had a powerful ally and gave my husband and me the tools to thrive as new parents. Our whole family is forever grateful for her empowering support, encouragement and expertise!”

“I've known Monique for many years, first as a parent where we shared the same class with our children, then as a co-worker at the Westside Waldorf School. As a parent, Monique was always steady, calm and loving. Her 3 children are a testament to how she parents, with love and kindness. As a co-worker and watching her with her Parent/Toddler group was where she shone! Applying the same techniques of her parenting with calm, love, boundaries and kindness. I learned so much for my teaching by observing Monique's classes. She is one of the best well-rounded people who knows the ins and outs of rearing and teaching children from the heart.”
