## About the coach

- **Name:** Megan Robertson
- **Role:** Certified Parent Coach
- **Training:** Certified in Dr. Laura Markham's Peaceful Parenting approach; trained mentor in Dr. Becky Kennedy's Good Inside community.
- **Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by** Good Inside or Dr. Laura Markham — Megan is informed by their frameworks and credits them carefully.
- **Specialty:** Parents of deeply feeling, highly sensitive, and explosive children ages 4–8 who experience intense, seemingly disproportionate emotional reactions. "Deeply Feeling Kids®" is a term from Dr. Becky Kennedy and Good Inside.
- **Important distinction:** Coaching is not therapy and is not a substitute for mental health care. "Deeply feeling" is a descriptive lens, not a diagnosis.

## How the coaching works

- Sessions are 50 minutes, held over Zoom, typically weekly for six weeks.
- The work is with the parents, not directly with the child.
- The first session is risk-free: families are only charged for the six-session package if they choose to continue after the first session.
- A free 15-minute discovery call is available for parents who are still deciding.
- Services and pricing: free 15-minute discovery call; single session ($110); six-session package ($660).
