TESTIMONIALS
"I reached out to Noriko in May (2024), after being referred by a parent group and quickly began parent coaching sessions. By June, my daughter was also participating in individual coaching and group sessions. Noriko quickly built rapport with my 15 year old daughter, which is not so easy to do. Positive changes were able to happen in a very short period of time because she was trusted, provided the right tools, was always encouraging, and positively reinforced her behavior when she got things right. My daughter looks forward to all her sessions which are creatively put together to build different skills. Noriko is a true pro and our family appreciates her so much. Where other providers have struggled with social curve balls, Noriko reports back with how she already handled it. We know we are in good hands and on our way to social success."

"Noriko has been such a valuable resource to me as a preschool director. For over 10 years, she has been the first person who I think to reach out to when I see children and/or parents struggling to manage challenging behaviors or when I need additional guidance and support from an educational perspective. Her calm demeanor makes everyone feel at ease. I can say without exaggeration that Noriko's practical, individualized, and easy to apply strategies have changed the lives of many children and families."

"Our son was having behavioral issues in preschool and we were referred to Noriko by our school’s director. Noriko came and observed our child at school several times and suggested that we consult with our pediatrician about our kid’s impulse control. We received an ADHD diagnosis shortly after. Together with our pediatrician and Noriko’s coaching we continued our journey with parent coaching and at-school coaching sessions. We came up with a plan that focused on positive behavior reinforcements and small attainable goals. Our child received tools that he could use at school and at home through Noriko’s coaching. She also communicated with the teachers and attended parent/teacher conferences so everyone was aligned. We saw a dramatic improvement over the year and our kid is now thriving - he enjoys school, does well in the classroom, and has strong friendships with his peers. What was once an overwhelming and stressful experience became manageable and calm (for teachers, parents and child). Noriko’s compassionate coaching changed our lives. I cannot recommend her services enough."

"Noriko helped us through a very difficult period, shortly after the pandemic. We were struggling to help our son manage his emotions while we ourselves worked through financial and marriage stresses. Noriko's advice was a game changer. Our son went from being one of the "more difficult" kiddos to being one of the "more emotionally mature" kids in his class. Noriko's advice took into account our son's personality and was delivered in a calm, non-judgmental way. I am so grateful for Noriko. We could not have gotten through that tough period without her and I am very happy to be on the other side."
