Kacey Hartung
As a Life Coach, Kacey has been described as “the astute mentor who pulls you aside one day to say, ‘I see you struggling. It doesn’t have to be so hard. Here is what’s worked for me and the hundreds of others I’ve mentored’. The strategies she teaches ensure you’ll be able to rest easy at night, knowing you’ve done right by your family, your job, and your own dear self.”
Eager to share her process of shifting focus away from balance and towards integration, she became a certified life coach through Coach Training Alliance in 2015.
Christy Keating
In her work with parents, Christy addresses everything from behavior issues, sibling rivalry, and defiance, to setting boundaries (for ourselves and our children), parenting effectively with our partners, self-care, and goal setting (personal and professional). She serves as a guide, a mirror, a cheerleader, an accountability partner, an advocate, and an educator with each of her clients depending on their individual needs. Her clients love creating a vision for their lives, realizing deeply what is possible, and working toward that week after week. Christy’s clients have children of all ages, and many of them are working parents who are trying to strike the seemingly impossible balance between being both the parent and the provider that they want to be.
Christy is the Owner and Founder of The Heartful Parent and Savvy Parents Safe Kids. She is a licensed attorney. She has obtained certifications as a Parent Coach and Positive Discipline Educator from The Gottman Institute.

As you practice and implement strategies learned through coaching/workshops, you and your family will feel calmer, less reactive, and more connected.
Tia is a Conscious Parenting Method™ Certified Coach and a Jai Institute for Parenting Certified Parent Coach. She holds a BS Civil Engineering from University of Wisconsin – Madison.
