Special Needs Parents and Caregivers

Yes, that is Tim McGraw kissing my daughter! Oh what a journey it has been! Raising her into the amazing young woman she is has been filled with various emotions, primarily joy. Her impactful experiences have touched the lives of rodeo friends, country music stars, and everyone she encounters. Through her, I've learned to stand up for what is right, address needs, and discover creative solutions in seemingly impossible situations. 

As a parent of a child with a disability, my passion lies in assisting fellow parents in self-care, rediscovering joy, navigating resources, and ensuring they feel heard. Parenting is a rewarding challenge, and the complexities of special needs can amplify it. Having walked a similar path, I empathize and aim to help you discover joy, find your path, and prioritize your self-nurturing. 

Achieving balance (Tula) is the constant journey of mind, body, and spirit that is challenging for everyone. When parenting a child with special needs, this journey becomes even more demanding. While there are valuable services for children with special needs, parental support is often overlooked. I comprehend the intricate process of accessing services for children with intellectual disabilities. I can assist in guiding parents, pointing them toward resources, and empowering them to become fierce advocates for their child, while emphasizing the importance of self-care.
