My Approach
I don’t just help families find schools — I support them through one of the most personal decisions they’ll make for their child.
A child’s educational environment touches every part of who they are — their identity, their rhythm, their sense of belonging. My role is to help families find the spaces where those elements come into harmony.
My consulting and coaching live on the same spectrum: both are about alignment — between child and environment, purpose and path, energy and action. Families often come to me for the logistics, but my hope is that they leave with something deeper — a sense of calm, clarity, and confidence that brings genuine ease to the transition.
My commitment is to serve as a compass — practical in direction, intuitive in calibration — helping families move forward with trust, insight, and grace.

On Feeling Supported Through Every Step
“Working with Corinne has been an incredible experience. She went above and beyond to make this entire process smooth and effortless for us. She was always ten steps ahead, thinking through details we would never have known to anticipate and taking on the heavy lifting so we could focus on everything else happening in our lives. Her foresight and guidance brought so much clarity, and having her support gave us a level of comfort we deeply needed during a stressful transition. She carried the burden of the process with such ease and professionalism that we were able to move forward with confidence instead of overwhelm. We are truly grateful for everything she did for our family, and we cannot recommend her enough.”

On Supporting a Special Needs Student Through a Major Transition
“Our move from abroad and the transition into a new educational system came with many complexities, and Corinne took the time to truly understand my daughter’s needs. She explored every possible option with us — both public and private — to ensure she landed in the right place. My daughter took an active role in the search, and Corinne stayed in tune with her hopes and priorities at every step, honoring what mattered most to her. We are so grateful for the thoughtful research and guidance that led us to this school. My daughter told me this is the happiest she has been since elementary school, and that says so much. We are truly thankful.”

On Navigating a Complicated School Search with Care
“Our case was anything but simple, with so many moving parts and special circumstances, yet Corinne navigated every twist and turn with such kindness, patience, and grace. Thanks to her support and guidance, our family found a wonderful school for my daughter—and even more exciting, she auditioned for and was accepted into a music program through a contact Corinne provided. This opportunity became the highlight of our time in the city. My daughter is thriving, and the chance to grow in this way has been a dream come true for her. None of this would have been possible without Corinne’s help, and we remain beyond grateful.”
