Parent with Peace & Joy
Discover the Guiding Mindset
Empowering you to more fully experience the joy children bring to our lives, hearts and homes.
The Guiding Mindset is an approach that empowers parents with the principles and tools to best support their child as they guide them in the unfolding of their true potential. Going beyond traditional parenting, The Guiding Mindset uses evidence-based strategies and developmental insights, while also following each child's own inner essence. Challenges are embraced as an opportunity for learning and connection, while understanding developmental needs and honoring children as unique individuals with their own gifts.
Whether you're at the beginning of your parenting journey or managing a vibrant household, the Guiding Mindset offers innovative ideas and insights tailored to fit your child and family's unique dynamics, preparing children to thrive as thoughtful and proactive members of an ever-changing world.

I'm Tammy - I'm here to support you in raising happy healthy little humans -- and experience the joy of parenting along the way.
I believe parenting is a joy! But, it can also be hard! I understand the many challenges we face as parents. I’ve been there! I understand the needs and behaviors of children. I’ve been there too. I believe the difference we make for children today truly does create a better tomorrow. I believe every child is an unique and perfect individual with unlimited potential and possibility. I am dedicated to empowering parents with the principles and tools to most successfully guide their children in the unfolding of that potential and possibility. Using these principles to positively resolve the challenges and difficult behaviors we face in our daily so-important role of supporting and nurturing children.
I have worked with children and families for over 40 years. I’ve worn a variety of ‘hats’ over the years: preschool teacher, school administrator, Montessori educator, college instructor, teacher trainer, consultant, parenting educator, and parenting coach. The best hat of all, however, has been as Mom and Gammy. I’ve also been a single mom and I’m a stepmom. Parenting has truly brought my greatest joys — as well as some of my greatest challenges. Together my husband and I have four truly awesome kids, in a blended family. They’re all adults now, and I couldn’t be prouder! In fact, I’m proud to be partnering with my son, his wife, and my daughter in bringing The Guiding Mindset to you.
Making a difference for children and families is my passion! I look forward to supporting YOU in fully experiencing peaceful and joyful parenting.

There are many challenges parents are faced with, for children of all ages. As a first time parent I found Tammy very knowledgeable and professional, as well as friendly and helpful beyond expectations. Any parent and child would be lucky to have her in their lives!

Tammy has helped our family in so many ways. Not only does her knowledge of child development help me to have realistic expectations about my children, but her presence helped me to feel confident in what I had to offer as a parent.
