Coaching That Gets to The Heart of It
Helping you enhance family dynamics, develop intentional parenting skills, improve communication and lower stress. Like a fitness coach, if you are struggling, let’s move out of stuck patterns. If you are coasting, let’s motivate future wellness.
Evidence-based strategies. Experience-based plans. A judgement-free compassionate zone. Designed for your family’s specific needs
You’ve been holding it together
for a long time.
You’ve been doing your best as a parent for a long time. On the outside, it might even look like you’ve got it handled. But inside, there are moments of doubt, questions and worries that cycle through your mind, and walls that feel hard to break through with your child.
You want to feel steadier, calmer, more sure-footed as a parent. You want the stress of parenting to stop hijacking the joy. You want relationships at home that feel less confusing, less reactive, and more rooted in trust. You want reliable tools for constructive communication.
Parent coaching offers a way forward, it’s like having a personal trainer for your parenting self.
Together, we’ll unpack the challenges, build on your strengths, and find strategies that work for your unique child and family. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s clarity, resilience, and the kind of connection that helps everyone thrive.

I've worked with therapists, counselors and consultants for years and you helped me more than any of them in a few weeks. It's the first time I feel hope about co-parenting. Thank you.

Today was incredible and hard but so also so good. I’ve been exhausted tonight, which means we did powerful work today. Thank you so much for your grace and amazing insights. You have made my head spin in the best of ways

From the moment I met Ilene, I knew she was someone special whom I wanted to be around. I am very fortunate to have been professionally coached and mentored by Ilene these past five years. She took an average teacher and transformed me into a charismatic school leader.
L.C. Culver City, CA
Ilene has the amazing ability to nudge you without bruising you. She shares her wisdom with you through her distinguished career and unique relationships with extraordinary people to help develop your confidence and intuition. It is a humbling experience.
L. S. Los Angeles, CA
I seriously cannot be more grateful to you...I already know that you are incredible AND each interaction should additionally note how incredible you are as an educator and as a person. I have learned so much from you through the years and through this year I was SO lucky to have even more time with you and have learned more of Ilene's nuggets of wisdom.
M.A Los Angeles, CA
There really is nobody like you. I try to imagine what I would’ve done years ago when you helped me with my personal family crisis...I will never forget how you reached out to me, sometimes after 11pm on a school night, to support me or check in on me. I know that this is how you are. You weren’t giving me special treatment. You just treat everyone like they are special, and that what makes you this remarkably unique individual.
R.L. Pacific Palisades, CA
You were a constant source of calm and comfort for me...Your door was always open and I knew I could always be honest with you about anything..my fears, my concerns, my joys.

Hi, I'm Ilene!
I'm so happy to meet you here.
As if in my DNA, I always felt a calling to teach, coach and guide others in matters of children and education.
By seven years old, daily after school, I was hosting classmates in our family’s Philadelphia basement where I had set up a decorated classroom with prepared lessons! Years later, I earned my degree from the University of Pennsylvania and went on to spend 40+ wondrous years helping children and families thrive…
