We’ve brought together over a dozen authors, psychologists, coaches and acclaimed speakers to teach you how to understand your family dynamics, overcome the pain of loss, and find your joy again.

I’m a life coach, speaker and co-founder of Family Support Resources with my husband Michael. We started Family Support Resources out of our passion to shine a light on family struggles that are rarely discussed, and uplift and inspire those experiencing these challenges.

Most people facing family estrangement don’t know where to turn for help. From my own journey through family difficulties, I’ve learned from incredible experts how to embrace my circumstances with loving acceptance, overcome grief, and reclaim my life. Now, I want to offer you access to some of the world’s most devoted teachers and leaders in this area, so that you can start living again.
