About Blanche

I help families make sense of what feels overwhelming.

Compassionate support grounded in child development, psychology, and real-life family experience.

Blanche, parent coach and family support provider

My background

I hold an Early Childhood Education Diploma with Level 3 certification in Saskatchewan, as well as a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology. I am currently completing a Graduate Certificate in Mental Health and Addictions at Algonquin College to deepen my understanding, stay informed about current research, and provide thoughtful, up-to-date support to the children and families I work with.

For more than 20 years, I have worked alongside children, youth, and families in a variety of settings. Before immigrating to Canada, I organized inclusive camps offering nature-based and animal-assisted experiences for children with diverse needs. In Saskatchewan, I have worked as an Early Childhood Consultant, Youth Worker and Early Childhood Educator.

Over the years, I have supported children and families with a wide range of developmental, emotional, behavioural, communication, and sensory needs. I also bring a strong understanding of adoption-related family experiences, bonding, and attachment.

My approach is holistic and centred on the whole family. I consider the child’s needs, the caregiver’s experience, and the relationships that connect them. My work is trauma-informed, culturally aware, compassionate, practical, strength-based, and respectful of neurodiversity.

I do not come into your home with judgment or a one-size-fits-all parenting formula. I take the time to listen, understand what may be happening beneath the behaviour, and work alongside you to find supportive strategies that feel realistic, respectful, and manageable in everyday family life.

Services are available in English, German, and French.

What working together can look like

We may explore patterns, routines, communication, sensory needs, emotional regulation, transitions, parent-child connection, and the practical realities of your family’s day-to-day life.

“You know your child best. My role is to help you understand the pattern and find one manageable next step.”
