After 30 years working with children,
I can tell you this with certainty:
Parents may not be the cause of anxiety,
but they are the engine that keeps the pattern running.

If Your Child’s Anxiety Is Bigger Than a Class Can Solve — Read This.

Most loving parents try to make anxiety better -

and accidentally make it WORSE

Anxiety doesn’t fade on its own.
When it’s misunderstood, it quietly grows
with your child.


It can look like meltdowns, avoidance, constant reassurance-seeking, or battles over small things that don’t seem to make sense.


Most parents respond with love, patience, and protection —
but without realizing it, those responses often feed the anxiety instead of reducing it.


This isn’t because you’re doing something wrong.
It’s because no one ever taught parents how anxiety actually works.


That’s why I created a free parent workshop to explain:

  • Why common, well-meaning responses can intensify anxiety
  • What actually helps children build confidence and emotional strength
  • How to support your child without becoming their safety net

No calming tricks.
No labels.
No pressure to “fix” your child.


Just clarity.

The Kinder Karate® Story

What Happened When I Challenged the "Norm"

The Kinder Karate® story began back in 2012 when I sat at my daughter's dance recital.  While I was waiting for my 6 year old to perform, I first had to sit through the 3 year old performances.  I was aghast (and amazed) when I saw the little girls on the stage -- aghast at the fact that the girls had learned absolutely nothing as judged by their non-performance, and amazed that the crowd of parents, taking pictures and video with love, excitement and awe, seemed not to notice.  In fact, they were celebrating this non-achievement!

I thought to myself, "What if I could recreate this in my classes?  What if I could teach them even one thing?  Would the parents accept this?  Would they pay for it?"
