Every child is different, which means support should not feel one-size-fits-all.
Mindful Voices helps families find practical, personalized next steps for real life, not just what works for others or is a standard solution.
Not sure where to start? That’s exactly what my free consultation is for.

If we haven’t met, here’s a proper introduction…
I’m Rachael! A special education teacher turned autism consultant based in Franklin, TN. I work with families in the Greater Nashville area and across all of TN both in person and virtually. I focus on helping children build real-life skills and help their families feel a little less alone in the process.
Every family I work with get something different from me. A plan built around your actual child. Not a script. Not a one-size-fits-all program. If you’re ready to talk, the first step is a free consult. 30 minutes, zero pressure. Link in bio when you’re ready. 💜

Celebrating a huge milestone for one very special boy! 💙
One week accident free, increased potty intervals by 40 minutes, and yesterday he independently initiated using his AAC button! Such incredible progress! His consistency, hard work, and growth continue to shine every day.
So proud of him and this amazing family for their dedication and commitment. It has truly been a pleasure to be part of this journey. ✨

One of the questions I often get asked is whether I only support children on the autism spectrum.
The answer is no.
I work with children across a wide range of developmental needs and disabilities. My focus is always on building real-life independence skills, especially potty training, through individualized, supportive, and practical strategies that meet each child where they are.
Every child deserves an approach tailored to their unique learning style, strengths, and challenges. That’s exactly what I provide.
If you’re looking for guidance and support with toilet training, I’m here to help. 🤍

All ages, all abilities 👏
I guide parents in building readiness skills in phase one, then provide in-person support during the intensive potty training phase.
This week, I’m working with a 12-year-old who is gaining an incredibly important daily life skill 💛 It’s never too late to build independence!
