Let’s navigate the world of parenting together.

You’re doing a lot really well. Let’s build on that, and help you be the best parent you can be. Parenting isn’t easy. Sometimes it seems downright impossible. I get it. And I can help. We all want our children to grow into thriving adults, and as parents we lay the foundation for this independence. Unfortunately, there is no guidebook for this. There is no instruction manual, no textbook to refer to, like when I was an educator. It can be scary out there, and parents need somewhere to turn.

That is where I come in.

Hi, I’m Cheryl Hersh.

I’m a mother of two, with professional experience in teaching and school administration. I’ve seen, and lived, the struggles parents face firsthand, and I want to put my experience to work for you.

What Is Parent Coaching?

As a parent coach, I work with you—the expert of your own family—to tackle your individual parenting concerns, with solutions tailored to your family situation. I lived this commitment as a parent, teacher and school administrator for more than 30 years, and have honed those skills through extensive training—and certification—as a parent coach. I’m here for you, so you can be there for your kids. Let’s start your journey to being the confident, connected parent you’ve longed to be.

She helped me first see the things that I was doing well and then gave me great suggestions for improving in areas where I was struggling. I appreciated how she helped me set goals on things that I felt were important and then worked with me on how to achieve them. She motivated me and held me accountable in a truly supportive way. My family has definitely benefited in numerous ways thanks to Cheryl’s guidance. I would highly recommend her services to other families who are looking to improve their daily lives.”

  • “I worked with Cheryl for some time to help build my communication and connection skills with my 7 year old daughter. Cheryl is fantastic, caring and understanding in how to coach a parent to be their best selves. I highly recommend her services if you are looking to improve your abilities as a parent to communicate or in other parenting areas.”

    — Mom of 8-year old daughter

  • “Working with Cheryl was one of the best things I’ve ever done to help support my son, family, and my sanity. Our evening (dinner + bedtime) routine was literally sucking the life out of me. We just couldn’t get it right. With Cheryl’s parenting sessions, in just a few months, we were able to establish healthier, more sustainable, routines, starting with pre-dinner, to actually sleeping in bed. She helped give us tools and skills to help cope with meltdowns and transitions. We started working with Cheryl when my son was four years old; he is now six and I’m still using the skills and tools I learn from our sessions with her. If you truly want want positive results, and work with someone who is kind, patient, and creative, work with Cheryl! Thank you, Cheryl, for everything you did for me and my family....for helping me gain my sanity and sleep back. We’re so grateful for you and the important work you do.”
