Due to the lack of creativity and heart-led instruction in schools, she created Heartfluence Academy, LLC to train educators and families on how best to develop academic achievement and increase confidence in children. Her proven frameworks, such as The HEART Pathway, tap into the natural brilliance and creativity found within the heart of every child and her innovative approach to curriculum encourages children, parents, and educators to be creators and designers over their own learning.
She trains educators, parents, and school leaders all over the world on how to create authentic experiences for children that will help bring out the genius within every child.
When she is not teaching, she is creating, reading, singing, traveling, or spending time with her family in sunny California.
