Judy is a dedicated advocate for neurodiverse children and their families. Her experience with neurodiversity spans various roles—as a parent, coach, consultant, and educator. Initially a teacher grappling to fully comprehend neurodiversity, it was becoming a mother that ignited Judy's passionate journey advocating for families authentically.

As an adoptive mother to three extraordinary individuals, each with their distinct neurodiversity and behaviour challenges, Judy gained an in depth understanding of these differences. Her journey of over two decades involved multifaceted work—supporting children exposed to in utero drugs and alcohol, fostering high-risk infants, guiding families globally, and currently supporting families in the BC interior as a Behaviour Consultant.

Judy thrives on connecting with families at their point of need, standing by them through their unique parenting challenges. Understanding the constant demands on parents—always on-duty compared to professionals who clock out—she is committed to empowering parents. Judy focuses on helping parents comprehend their child's brain-based differences and emphasizes building a strong relationship while applying accommodations and supports that build on their child's strengths. She is also uniquely positioned to support families as they navigate the education system, whether it is in person education, home school, or distributed learning.

Recently, she indulged her outside the box way of being and supporting her teen, setting off on a 7-month house sitting adventure across the UK and Europe caring for a total of 30 cats, 6 dogs, bunch of fish, and 3 rescue chickens.
