I have followed Renee for years as a respected speaker in our community. She is a true expert in child development and in supporting parents through every stage of their child’s growth. I’m constantly in awe of her calm presence, deep knowledge, practical wisdom, and effectiveness. She has a natural ability to relate to parents, offering insights with compassion and without judgment. Renee understands the ever-changing landscape of parenting and meets families exactly where they are.
Renee’s coaching style is both empowering and approachable. She offers research-based, actionable strategies that bring more calm, confidence, and connection into family life. I’ve recommended her organization, Child in Bloom, to countless families and have enthusiastically shared her new book with parents across all age ranges.Sarah K.

Renee has a terrific sense of what is happening in the world of education. Each time we’ve met with her to help us translate and navigate through overwhelming information and meetings at our kids’ school, we walk away feeling empowered and educated on what to do next for our kids’ best interest. We’ve learned so much from her including the best fit school programs for each of of children, how to prepare for and survive tough conversations with school team members, and how to collaborate with the school to improve the behavior and learning intervention options for our kids when they need it.

Renee recently spoke at our Parent Academy about essential elements of effective parenting. As a Catholic school administrator, it was refreshing and extremely helpful to hear this information from a Catholic perspective. Renee’s work is rooted in not only science and best practices, but also Catholic beliefs that uphold the dignity of every human life. In today’s culture, it is difficult to find sound parenting research that is also infused with faith, which makes what Renee is able to do such a gift. I have spoken to other Catholic school administrators who are interested in bringing her work to their schools, and we are grateful to support these efforts!
