HELLO! MY NAME IS NANCY
and I would love to help you!
I have been working with kids and families since I was a kid myself! I started volunteering at a preschool at age 10 and continued to work with kids through high school and college. I graduated with a BA in Elementary Education from Alfred University in 1993. I then moved into teaching children ages 2-12 for the following 25+ years and also raised two children of my own along the way. I went back to school from 2016-2019 to become a life coach, and opened up my private practice in 2017 after her first certification was complete. I now also hold a certification in life coaching for kids and a health coaching certification. I have spent my life in service to kids and families, it is my true passion in life to help each child and parent I work with feel seen, heard and empowered. I am here to help strengthen not only your child but you as a parent and individual. I was born and raised in Cazenovia, NY and have a special place in my heart for this wonderful community. My roots run deep and my dedication to bettering this community was the example of my parents before me. To be in Cazenovia serving families is a gift that moving back after 30+ years is the most precious thing I never expected.
