Targeted Support for Executive Function, Reading & Emotional Growth
Evidence-based coaching designed to build independence, confidence, and lifelong learning skills.
Executive Function Coaching
Building the skills that support planning, focus, organization, and follow-through.
Executive function skills are the foundation for independent learning. They influence how a learner starts tasks, manages time, regulates emotions, stays organized, and adapts when things don’t go as planned.
When these skills are underdeveloped, even bright and capable students can feel stuck, overwhelmed, or discouraged.
Through personalized coaching and guided practice, we help learners build systems that support success across school and daily life.
Areas We Strengthen:
Planning & prioritization
Organization systems
Time awareness & management
Task initiation & completion
Working memory
Flexible thinking
Emotional regulation
Self-monitoring & reflection
Coaching to build 'real-life' skills and strategies for a joyful future.
Our comprehensive services are designed to support learners in all aspects of their development. We offer personalized 1:1 and group coaching in key areas including reading intervention, executive functioning, nutritional well-being, and more. Each program is tailored to meet the unique needs of the learner, ensuring they develop the skills and confidence necessary for long-term success.
The building blocks to reading fluency are imperative to a learner's overall life-long success. Without stable phonemic awareness, decoding/encoding, orthographic, and paragraph reading practice, learners may never realize their full potential.
Reading Development
Within the three core, overarching skills - working memory, cognitive flexibility and impulse control - are eleven component subskills such as time management and task initiation that influence how a learner manages to operate throughout the day going from Point A to Point B.
Executive Functioning
Learners often resort to ineffective, compensatory measures like memorization which leads to frustration. Developing receptive and expressive language, critical thinking, reading comprehension and writing skills drastically shifts a learner's trajectory.
Language Processing
There are five interrelated areas of competency and confidence that one must strengthen in order to collaborate, learn and feel empowered in a social environment - self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
Social-Emotional Health
Short and long-term memory as well as sustained attention are the foundation of one's ability to learn, recall and connect information and experiences. Without secure visual and verbal memory, learners can feel stifled and unsuccessful.
Memory & Attention
Proper nutrition supports cognitive function, stress management, and overall well-being. As highlighted by the recent Surgeon General's warning, balanced dietary habits are crucial for a learner's mental and physical health. By optimizing nutrition, we help create the foundation for focus, emotional regulation, and success in both academic and personal life.
Nutritional Awareness
The Reading Process and why it matters!
Reading development requires a solid sensory-cognitive framework for learners to stand upon. Let’s unpack this!
The foundation of contextual reading involves the integration of many skills such as phonological processing, phonemic awareness, orthographic (sight words and spelling patterns) as well as language comprehension, expressive language and higher-order thinking skills. If one or more of these skills are weak, a learner can fall behind, risking not only their academic growth but their social-emotional well-being.

What is Executive Functioning?
Executive skills are the mental functions that help us plan, pay attention, remember information and perform multiple actions at the same time.
These skills give us the ability to prioritize, plan, focus, initiate, complete, avoid distractions and feel more fulfilled throughout life.
Children and adults with ADHD and language-based diagnoses such as Dyslexia frequently have problems with executive function. Jess believes it is best to identify these challenges and work through them so that one can live his or her best life in and out of the classroom.
