Welcome to Small Steps!
At Small Steps, I combine my experience in change management, social-emotional learning (SEL), and mindfulness with real-life parenting insights to support families through everyday transitions and routines. Drawing from my background in yoga, my goal is to share accessible resources that make family life smoother and more meaningful. I’m here to provide practical, bite-sized tools to help parents navigate change confidently while nurturing kindness and resilience in their children. By embracing small steps, I believe we can empower kids to face life’s transitions with compassion and strength.
