Testimonials
Take a look at what people have said about working with Liora:
“Liora is an amazing coach. She was able to elicit my concerns, identify some concrete strategies to try to make things better with my son, and gave me some hope that things were going to be ok. Several months later, I can say that she was right. Her calm and empathetic approach made me feel incredibly supported during a really difficult time.”
— Mom to 12 year old
"Liora always gets me to think about my work on the next level. She seamlessly integrates cutting edge ideas to support children and families. She is passionate and inspiring. I highly recommend her engaging and thoughtful training for your staff - it will propel your work."
— Johanna Creswell Báez, PhD, LCSW
“Liora was a calm and compassionate voice of reason for our family during a period of crisis. Our youngest son was experiencing intense school phobia post-pandemic, and his school decided to be punitive about his absences rather than working with us to address the root of his problems. Thanks to Liora -- her insights, contacts, and experience --we were able to navigate this difficult time and do what was best for our child.”
— Eve C, mother of three
“You were our anchor when we started our journey, our appoitments were a bright spot in the week. Over time as you began to know us more and we were less fraught, you were there when we thought backslides were going to overwhelm us.”
-Mike, a father
“I found our sessions most helpful at allowing me to "let it all out," and to be reminded of my daughter's perspective in all of this. They also helped me to talk through options moving forward and to make decisions. Also very valuable were the references I was given to other relevant providers. It was very helpful to be validated in the niche knowledge of the PDA world.”
- Alice, mother of two
I never looked at the clock! The pacing and information were spot on for my work as a teacher. Thank you for this valuable use of my time.
- Professional Development Workshop Participant (teacher)
It was particularly helpful to work on how not to take things personally. I felt a huge shift. I can keep calm and be supportive without blaming myself and trying to fix things. And by regulating my nervous system there is space of my child to do the same.

I really valued Liora's ability to reframe issues we were facing in ways we hadn't thought about before. I felt that the combination of Liora's personal and family coaching experience made it possible for her to offer us tailored advice that really helped.
- A parent
"Seeking help takes courage and vulnerability. If you have found Liora, you are in the right hands. Her unique combination of empathy and knowledge allows Liora to understand and listen in a way that will allow other parents to feel safe, held, understood and helped! Liora studies all things neuroscience, education and parenting. After I talk to her I feel energized, hopeful, and informed. She makes me a better mom."

“Liora was extremely helpful in helping us think about how to engage more effectively with our children. While the original intent was to focus on our younger son, her feedback and guidance was helpful for our entire family. She helped us prioritize what needed to be addressed and what might be getting in the way with our communication and parenting.”
- Jennifer, mother of three
“I looked forward to our sessions because you made me feel heard and understood. They made me feel less crazy and more secure that I was making the right decisions.”
- Shira, a mom
“I found our sessions to be very helpful. Your combination of professional knowledge and your own experience as a mother made me feel not only supported but also very heard and understood. You really listened to my particular struggles and challenges, and you had suggestions that were not just ‘one-size-fits-all solutions, but that were adaptable to my own unique situation and my own unique child. You have a lovely combination of being calm and serious with a light, sometimes humorous and very personal touch, which makes it very easy to open up to you.”
- A parent
The parent coaching had a tremendous impact in a positive was on how our family interacted with our individual challenges. You helped us approach challenges from our daughter's point of view and not just our own.
