No bad parents.
No bad kids.
Change your systems and spaces, not your child.
Environment focused solutions to bring more ease to your life.
When challenging behavior makes it difficult to get through the day, we help you change that.
I provide hollistic behavioral support to parents of 2-8 year-olds who believe in changing systems and spaces, not children. Your child is exactly right the way they are. We bring externally focused solutions to light to help you and your child get your needs met in an easeful way every day.
Welcome!
You’re tuned into all things positive parenting but find the mainstream strategies arduous and stressful. Tools and tricks shouldn’t feel like more work, or like they are trying to tame or change your child, they should bring you true relief.
At ShineSpace Parenting, I provide holistic, environmentally focused intervention and solutions. I will help you to create a safe and comfortable place where both you and your child can become their best self — in your home, in their classrooms, and eventually, the world!
At ShineSpace Parenting we don’t…

Hi, I’m Claire.
I’m a holistically-minded, heart-led Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Educator with over 10 years of experience and a Masters degree in Education. I have worked with hundreds of families in their homes, in clinical settings and in schools. Today I specialize in working with parents who find it challenging to get through the day because of their child’s behavior.
But I don’t believe you need to do a single thing to change your child – I know I wouldn’t want someone to tell me to change my son. I also don’t think the answer lies with punishments or coercion. It’s about making a space where kids can shine exactly as they are. I believe we can make the world a truly inclusive space for all children, alongside happier parents. If you desire to find more ease in your life, and want to embrace your child exactly as they are, ShineSpace Parenting is for you.
QUIZ: Are You Parenting a Higher Needs Child?
Since you’re here, I’m guessing you already suspect there may be more going on with your child’s behavior. If you are still wondering whether ShineSpace is the place for you, this quiz will help you identify whether you might be parenting a child with higher needs, and help you identify the next steps along your journey.

“Thank you!!! I'm seriously so thankful you are working with us. Having one thing (a schedule) is really the first solid tool that anyone has given us. You are really good at hearing what the parents are saying and feedback. I'm so relieved that my husband and I have a strategy that we can work on together.”
