She was single and in her 40s when she recognized her burning desire to be a Mom. In 2003, Kathy adopted a beautiful baby boy, who is now, as tall as she! More than anything Kathy wanted her son to experience the unconditional love that she felt was missing from her childhood. But parenting a child whose first life experiences were traumatic proved to be more challenging than she had envisioned. S

he found herself struggling with her son’s fear-driven aggression, as it was triggering her own childhood trauma. Kathy had heard of Hand in Hand Parenting, and when she enrolled her son in an alternative humanistic school in Los Angeles, she saw the listening tools in action in the schoolyard. As she began to practice the tools, and Parent by Connection, Kathy saw and felt the potential for real healing for herself and her son. Kathy has been a teacher, director and coach all of her adult life. Wanting to share her family's joyous journey, she became Certified as an Instructor of Parenting by Connection. Previously she was certified as an Educator of Nonviolent Parenting by Echo Parenting.
