My passion is writing books on difficult topics that can provide support and help to families in need.
I have three books published. My first book is called, "I Said No! a kid to kid guide to keeping private parts private. I Said No! is an award winning, best selling book. It is the only book of its kind that presents sexual abuse prevention from a child’s perspective in a simple, direct, kid-friendly way. Based on real stories and experience, the book was designed to cover actual scenarios that school aged children may encounter. Our book helps parents and children learn together as they talk about body boundaries, rules, what if scenarios, and develop safety strategies.

The book is told through a child's voice and is very user friendly. Kids learn how to eat right, move their bodies, and protect and take care of themselves with mindfulness and meditation.
