Maggie has worked in education for over 25 years. She’s taught 1st to 7th graders in classroom, small group and one-on-one settings, coached teachers and worked closely with learning specialists and other therapists to support student’s individual needs. She brings extensive knowledge of working side-by-side with parents and teachers as a coach to problem solve behavioral or learning challenges, looking at each individual situation through many lenses. She’s worked with Occupational Therapists and other specialists to create classroom and educational experiences that best support students that are struggling.
Through her training as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and Epidemic Answers Health Coach, Maggie helps parents whose children are struggling in school navigate the world of options aside from just tutoring and medication. She helps parents:
-Understand how underlying imbalances can impact learning, physical, mental and social health.
-Learn strategies to help calm their child’s brain and body.
-Navigate options – understand the world of practitioners and help prioritize therapies.
-Create healthy routines – develop sleep, bedtime, morning routines that energize rather than creating more stress.
-Reduce their child’s or family’s total toxic load.
-Clean up their child or family’s diet – prioritize whole, organic, unprocessed foods and learn about specialized diets that can impact learning.
-Work collaboratively with schools, learning specialists and classroom teachers to create an optional learning experience for their child.
Maggie intimately understands the connection between mind and body. She has practiced yoga for almost 30 years, is a certified 500hr yoga instructor and mindfulness instructor. She is also a Reiki III practitioner and has completed trainings in EFT, Quantum Touch and Eden’s Energy Medicine. One of her favorite activities is teaching children yoga, mindfulness, guided meditation and breathing exercises.
