Melissa then walks along side her clients guiding them to reach and even succeed their goals.
Melissa enjoys working with young children giving them language to describe their feelings and needs through her Empowered Child program. In her Skills for Success program she bridges any gaps in a child’s education to transform them into confident, independent learners who no longer experience anxiety regarding their education.
Parents are struggling today to parent their children. They are afraid to put limits and boundaries on their children or they go overboard and restrict their children so much that the children are unable to operate without their parent by their side. Many parents are parenting with technology which is harming their children. Melissa mentors parents
to have meaningful and joyful relationships with their children which will carry through to future generations.
Melissa is committed to offering a personalized, custom approach to meet her clients where they are and transform their lives one step at a time.

I set your child up with the winning Mind-Set, needed Skill-Set, customized Action-Set, and personalized Tool-Set.
I understand that one size doesn't fit all, and all my plans are tailored to each child's uniqueness.
I coach struggling students, unmotivated learners, and those who hate schoolwork.
Unlike traditional methods that focus on weaknesses, we harness your child's strengths and their potential.
The solution I offer is based in relationship learning, and it’s key to discuss our expectations and determine if we are a match and are motivated to work with each other.
We will meet and discuss your current situation and your child’s past and recent experience with learning. Based on your child's needs and your goals, I will present to you a custom solution tailored to your child's needs.
Based on our conversation, you will learn why your child is struggling to learn, and the exact steps needed to improve your child’s motivation, performance and how we can work together as a team.
“Melissa was our child’s preschool teacher and she always greeted our child with love and enthusiasm. She helped us as parents navigate changes in sleep and our child’s strong emotions, leading us to have a healthier relationship with our child. I absolutely recommend Melissa in all things related to child development and parenting!”

“Melissa Gutshall, our daughter's former teacher, left a lasting impression on our family. We appreciated her warmth that welcomed us each morning. She navigated challenging days with ease and shared our daughter's small moments. Her enthusiasm for teaching and attentiveness to each child's needs makes Melissa a wonderful teacher.”
—Madison and Kevin R.
"I am incredibly grateful for Melissa's exceptional work with our 5-year-old daughter. While my daughter is developmentally advanced in cognitive areas, she has faced challenges in social and emotional development, particularly with regulating and expressing her feelings. These struggles were exacerbated as our family faced significant change this past year. Melissa's patient and compassionate approach has been instrumental in helping her navigate these difficulties. Melissa has created a supportive and nurturing environment where our daughter feels safe to explore and develop her social and emotional skills. Her dedication and expertise have made a significant difference. Melissa really saw my daughter as an individual and took a completely unique, specialized approach with her challenges. As a parent, I appreciated her understanding, support, and guidance in helping me learn and implement positive guidance techniques that are successful. I wholeheartedly recommend Melissa to any parent seeking a caring and skilled childhood interventionist."
