Personalized Family Consulting

Personalized Family Consulting


Do you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or uncertain in an area of your child's well-being and care? 


Finding time and energy to navigate this realm of medical complexity and disability with multiple systems and so many moving parts is a daunting task. No one has prepared us for the learning curve that exists to parent a child with a disability/medical complexity. Unfortunately, the systems in place often result in families "slipping through the cracks" and do not have the ability to provide personalized, comprehensive support that your child would greatly benefit from. Amazing parents are left to fend for themselves while managing the many other needs their family has.


I have experienced this firsthand, and Beautiful and Brave Advocacy was born out of this! Through family consulting, I will be a fierce advocate for your child and empower your family in new ways. My hope is to save you time, money, and decrease stress and anxiety!

My family's life has been radically changed as a direct result of countless resources and supports that I have found. My passion is to see families of children with disabilities, medically complexity, and "special needs" thriving. It would be my honor to support you!
