“Dema has worked with both my sons and I really cannot say enough good things about the experience. She has been great at helping them set and achieve goals, develop positive habits, and resolve many diverse problems. Dema is an excellent listener and communicator and the icing on the cake is that both my sons and I just adore working with her. I truly appreciate her active interest and obvious affection for my sons. I highly recommend her as a coach.”

“I have decided it is high time to thank you for the joy and insight meeting with you has brought to my life….the effort of being such an inspiring coach has impressed me as a model of mentorship, community service and professionalism. Not without an important dash of humor. Your concern and dedication are evident and marvelous. No matter where I go, I will remember you and your example.”

“I’m so encouraged after attending Dema’s Nurtured Heart Approach Workshop. After just five weeks we’ve reduced the yelling and negativity in our house. We’re seeing positive transformations taking place in our challenging children, which is absolutely amazing to me. I t sounds melodramatic, but it’s true-I believe The Nurtured Heart Approach is saving and enhancing our family.” Colleen Pence
“The Nurtured Heart Approach has changed our parenting skills to a great level. Our daughter is more responsive and we feel better giving her the positive recognition she deserves. Thank you for creating this program. We are confident our family will have future successes.” MAS
“This course was exactly what our family needs. We have observed in a very short period of time positive and effective results with our special needs son as well as with our typically developing daughter. I feel that with more time and practice things will change very positively and dramatically.” DM
“Dema was our RDI Consultant for several years before transitioning to the role of coach for our son, who has come a long way toward remediation on the Autism Spectrum. Her guidance continues to be essential to Montana’s development socially as well as professionally. More recently, her gentle suggestion to try the Nurtured Heart Approach led to be an amazing transformational experience for our family (the kids don’t know what hit them–but they are happy and thriving more fully than ever because of it). It would not be an overstatement to credit Dema with a lot of the good things happening in our family right now.” Rana Burr, Fairfield, CA
