About Yolanda

Written from years in the room with kids and their families.

Every part of this practice — the 1:1 sessions, the courses, the membership — comes from the same place: watching what actually helps families day to day.

My story

I'm originally from Chile, where I trained as an educational psychologist and completed a Master's degree in Special Education. That training gave me a strong foundation, but it was the years afterward — working directly with children — that shaped how I actually practice today.

Since moving to Chilliwack, BC, I've earned an Early Childhood Education (ECE) certification and worked in daycare classrooms alongside children with a wide range of needs. I've also worked as a behavioural interventionist, supporting kids with autism, ADHD, and developmental delays directly in their homes and communities.

Across all of that work, I kept noticing the same thing: parents are doing an enormous amount, often without enough support between the moments when a professional is actually in the room. That observation is what led me to build out this practice — not just 1:1 sessions, but courses and an ongoing membership, so families have more than one way to get the kind of support that fits where they are.

My approach

Three things I try to get right, every time.

Practical over theoretical

Every recommendation has to work in a real home, on a real Tuesday evening — not just on paper.

You're the expert on your child

My role is to bring strategies and structure — you bring the knowledge of what your child actually needs.

Consistency across settings

A strategy that works at home should work at daycare too — I try to build for both.

Want to talk about your family's specific situation?

I'm glad to walk through your options — 1:1 sessions, a course, or the membership — and help you figure out what fits.
