You might be here because…

  • Your child holds it together elsewhere, then falls apart at home.

  • Everyday transitions turn into negotiations, shutdowns, or explosions.

  • The parenting books don’t seem to cut it—and the advice that sounds good on paper feels hard to use in real life.

  • Your child may have ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivities, or emotional regulation challenges—and you may recognize some of those experiences in yourself, too.

  • You want to hold boundaries without yelling, threatening, or giving in.

  • You and your partner keep getting caught in the same parenting disagreements.

  • You’re trying to parent differently than you were raised, but old reactions still show up.

  • You’re working hard to meet everyone’s needs—and losing sight of your own.

Learn More About My Approach

Hi, I’m Cass.

I’m a certified parenting educator, parent coach, and founder of Heart & Honey.

I help parents make sense of the moments that leave them feeling confused, reactive, or stuck. Together, we explore your child’s development, nervous system, sensory needs, and emerging skills—as well as the expectations, experiences, and stress you bring into those moments.

Then we turn that understanding into something you can use: a different response when your child shuts down, a clearer boundary, a more manageable morning, or a way to reconnect after an argument.

There’s room here for your child’s needs and your needs. We work toward a family life where everyone can feel heard, have their own feelings, and stay connected through challenges and differences.

How We Work Together

*

How We Work Together *

Together, we look beyond the immediate behavior to understand what’s making a moment difficult: overwhelm, sensory needs, developing skills, expectations, or a need for connection.

We explore what’s happening for your child and what comes up for you—so you can respond with greater understanding and clarity.

1) Understand What’s Beneath the Behavior

2) Support the Whole Family System

Children do not exist in isolation — and neither do parents.

My work supports families navigating:

  • ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder

  • emotional intensity

  • sensory overwhelm

  • explosive behaviors

  • parent burnout

  • neurodivergent children and parents

  • culturally complex or intergenerational parenting dynamics

We focus on creating more regulation, clarity, and connection for the whole family.

3) Build Practical, Real-Life Strategies

We turn understanding into tools you can use during the moments that keep coming up: mornings, transitions, sibling conflict, screen time, and bedtime.

You’ll practice supporting regulation, setting clear boundaries, adapting expectations, and teaching skills when your child is ready to learn. Your child can have feelings about a limit, and you can still hold it with care.

4) Move Forward Without Shame

Parenting brings us face to face with our own stress, expectations, and learned reactions. You deserve space to explore those honestly, with compassion and support.

Together, we notice what’s working, adjust what isn’t, and practice repair after hard moments—building confidence in your ability to respond, reconnect, and keep growing.

FAQs

  • My approach brings together conscious parenting, Positive Discipline, nervous-system awareness, and an understanding of child development.

    We explore what behavior may be communicating, what support or skills are needed, and how you can respond with both connection and leadership. Your family’s values, circumstances, and capacity shape the work.

  • Yes. Your child can be upset about a limit, and the limit can remain.

    We work on boundaries you can communicate and follow through on, while supporting your child through the feelings that come with them. We also explore responsibility, problem-solving, and repair when someone’s actions affect others.

  • Yes—we can work directly with the situations that are making family life difficult.

    We look at the behavior in context, including development, sensory needs, emerging skills, relationships, and the environment. From there, we identify practical changes and practice responses that fit your child.

  • Those differences can become part of our work. We explore what each parent is concerned about, where your reactions come from, and what you want your children to experience.

    You can also begin coaching on your own.

  • Yes. Supporting neurodivergent children and parents is a central part of my work.

    When attention, executive functioning, sensory needs, or emotional regulation make everyday life harder, generic parenting advice can fall short. Together, we build practical strategies around how your family actually functions—so you can set clearer boundaries, support developing skills, and meet your child’s needs while honoring your own.

  • Sessions give us space to understand what’s happening in your family, learn relevant concepts, and work through real situations together.

    Between sessions, you’ll practice manageable changes and reflect on what you notice. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the available options and the commitment involved.

  • We’ll talk about your family, what feels difficult right now, and what you’re hoping will change. I’ll explain how I work and answer your questions so you can decide whether coaching feels like a good fit.

What People Are Saying

  • Hailie says:

    Doing this program with Cass was one of the most transformational experiences we’ve had as a family and as parents. Working with Cass opened a new world for us. A place where things make sense, an understanding of what is happening below the surface not only with our daughter but also within ourselves as parents and individuals! She has given us invaluable information and learnings to better understand the full science of where our daughter is at in her development process and what her mind, body and spirit need during it. Every conversation with her I just hang on every word she says. She is so intelligent, wise, and welcoming with how she teaches us and shows us this approach. Through this process we have become much more in tune with our own nervous system and behaviors which in turn has helped us build a deeper connection with each other as parents ultimately setting us up to be the most connected to our daughter than we’ve ever been. We will forever be turning to Cass as our guide through the many twists and turns of parenting.

    Hands down the best decision we’ve ever made for our family.

  • Dante says:

    Working with Cass has been very enlightening. Learning about attachment science, nervous system science and emotional intelligence has given me a new perspective on parenting, and the tools and real-life examples she helped us through made it possible to make adjustments and try new things in a smooth way. I can’t say enough about the positive impact she has made on us.

  • Mario says:

    Don't usually write a review, but I thought Cassidy was sooo helpful that I want to share.

    My wife and I did the 12 week program over Zoom and it's been a game-changer. The idea here is that parenting is more of a self-centric (and partner-centric) exercise; throughout the program, Cassidy was responsive, flexible and very empathetic.

    What it does is give you a framework for how to make decisions about parenting. It fills in knowledge gaps around what our kids need. The content from Jai Institute for Parenting is good, but honestly it's Cassidy that makes the whole thing worthwhile.

    If you're at the point where you're even exploring a "parenting coach" then working with Cassidy may be exactly what you're looking for.

  • Eric says:

    Cassidy is very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly reccomend. We did all of our courses via zoom and it worked great.
