WORKSHOP TESTIMONIALS
Flora explained things in a very tangible way. I learned so much from the workshop!
I love and highly recommend Flora’s workshops. The wisdom she shares is simple to remember and implement and it makes so much sense.
I would 100% recommend Flora’s class because it covered so many ninja tricks for parents that everyone is going to walk away with a few wins.
Flora’s examples and instruction definitely helped me with how I relate to my children and provided me with better mechanisms.
Highly recommend any and every parent take one of her classes.
Flora’s class gave me tools & encouragement I needed. I learned to curb my emotions, and how to more lovingly parent my kids.
As a result of participating in Flora’s 6-week Positive Discipline Class, I feel more understanding, confident and like I have more tools to handle a variety of situations with my kids.
