Client Scheduled Services:
Add-on Services:
Free Consultation-
I will get to know your story and I will share mine. I will ask you many questions and together we can determine if you want to continue the recovery journey with me by booking an intake call.
1.5 hour intake and support call
I will start with helping you secure a support community through Facebook and Instagram. I will assess your family’s situation by asking many questions. We will go over all of the signs and symptoms of PANDAS/PANS. I will help you find a local doctor and discuss possible treatment plans, so you will be prepared for your visit. I will also talk to you about possible self care and we will make a personalized self care plan. This will allow you to be the best support you can be to your child. You will leave the call with a plan, resources, and renewed hope for recovery

30 minutes or 1 hour of support call or texting
I will spend time listening to any updates and answering any questions that may arise. Being a PANDAS parent can be really confusing! We will explore all your questions and situations together. I will share stories of hope and resilience with you. I will give you specific resources to help with what your family is going though. Of course, I will want to check in on your child’s treatment plan and your self care plan.
504 and IEP support
Sometimes our PANDAS children need special supports and accommodations at school. Your child is protected under the federal 504 Act to receive any accommodations that you and your doctor agree upon. Being an educator for 16 years and a PANDAS mom myself, I am skilled at navigating the terrifying labyrinth that is school with a PANDAS child. Let me take the pain and confusion out of it for you. I will give you suggestions, tell you what you need from your doctor, give you resources for your child’s educators, and explain the law. You will leave with the resources and assurance you need to feel confident!
*Need more support in this area? Let me attend your IEP or 504 meeting via phone or google meet. $300
(travel and in person support negotiable)

Support Sessions
Here we will find our community. We will meet with other parents and share experiences that will be validating and inspiring. The group is limited to seven participants and scheduled later in the evening. This is an intentional way to cultivate understanding, community, and hope. If you choose this option, I ask that you sign up for a month at a time, so that we can get to know each other well enough to build the support group that all PANDAS parents need. $40 per session.
Emergency Guidance Call or Texting
Did you leave your doctor’s office with burning questions? Did your child just “get into trouble” at school? Need help understanding that last parent teacher conference? Are you scared and confused?
This is the service I NEEDED as a new PANDAS mom! Things come up unexpectedly! I got you! After our intake call you will have access to this service.
