Family Coaching & Wellness
The Process
- Free Consultation
- G6 begins with a diagnostic interview with the parent(s) and child. Symptoms and behaviors are discussed, explored and identified. The educational process begins and the child and family are taught about anxiety: what it is, how it manifests, where it comes from and why it is still lingering and at times, growing. Learning to recognize and avoid the pitfalls of anxiety is key to success.
- Building the mind from the body is a unique approach to overcoming mental blocks and obstacles that prevent individuals from “breaking through” the barriers of mental struggle.
- Traditional counseling is not effective for everyone and can not only leave a negative impression on treatment all together, but also a discouraging view of the future and unfortunately, all too often a child and their family’s surrender to the debilitating mental challenges that face their child.
- G6 pushes past all that into the zone of healthy living, strength, confidence and faith in the future.
- The G6 family is growing. I urge you to join the movement of G6 and let it change your mind, your future, your family and your life.

- G6 Coaching can come to you. If you feel that meeting in the comfort of your own home would be better for you and your family or you have special circumstances that prevent you from coming to G6, don’t worry, G6 can come to you. Just call to make arrangements.
- On rare occasions as a parent, you are just at a loss. G6 Coaching offers home visits for those very challenging moments when you just can’t get your child to respond and need help right from your own home.
- In-School Observations of your child to assist with discovering triggers and causes for challenging behavior.
- Consultation with outside providers
- Diagnostic Report Analysis- Sometimes, you have your child evaluated and you end up with a report that you don’t understand and at times, don’t even agree with. Diagnostic reports are not definitive. Clinicians make mistakes. Understanding what the numbers mean and how to interpret and understand the report and your own child can feel overwhelming. Clinical impressions and interpretation can lead to further confusion and frustration about how to help your child and to be honest, just having a diagnosis, doesn’t simply change the problem and in fact, in some circumstances can make the problems worse.
G6 Coaching Entails
For parenting support, it may involve one or more visits as needed. Home visits are available. An initial “intake” interview begins the process of understanding your family and your concerns about your child and the impact on your home.
Sometimes a one-time consultation is all that is needed to provide some advice and guidance about where you are and the direction you need to go.
G6 Family Coaching is unique because after working in public education and special education, the knowledge and expertise is available to help guide the healing process at home and also ensure proper supports and realistic expectations at school.
For specific anxiety management coaching, G6 style combines physical training with anxiety education and a “talk therapy” style of interaction with your child. Consultation with parents to help “carry over” effective techniques and language and behaviors to reduce anxious experiences in your child.
Getting to know your child’s unique style and approach to life, while learning what “feeds” their anxiety, is key in moving them forward in a positive direction and helping them to unlock themselves from the prison on anxiety.

- G6 pushes past all that into the zone of healthy living, strength, confidence and faith in the future. It minimizes labels and diagnostics and focuses on positive action and optimization of the innate gifts that each person holds. “Unlocking your G6” means finding those hidden strengths and discovering the hidden warrior inside.
- Teaching clients to become strong and independent so they can carry their skills over to all aspects in their life and become masters of their own minds, the ultimate goal is to release a client so they can maintain healthy living and healthy mindsets on their own.
