Angelique Millette provides parent coaching and consulting services to parents and children; families who are seeking assistance and support for communication, behavior, and care needs.

The way that I work with families:

My work with families is based on the belief that helping parents to cultivate a strong and clear connection to their parenting intuition and wisdom will facilitate answers and parenting confidence long after we have completed our work together. Every parent has a well of strengths and resources, as well as unique challenges for handling, and adapting to the changing and dynamic relationship with their child, or children. I encourage parents to explore the key themes in their relationship with their child, while supporting parents with intervention, relevant education, infant and child development information, and resources.

In-home consultations consists of the following:

Initial Intake
Our first phone conversation provides a brief overview of the issue/challenge, and brief explanation of how I can specifically attenuate to your child’s issues/challenges.

Chart and assessment
I will provide you with a chart and assessment. I ask that parents chart at least 4-7 days of infant/child eating/sleeping/play/fussy periods. I will review the chart and assessment before we meet, and will address specific questions when we meet in-home.

In-home visit
I will meet you in your home. Home visits typically last approximately 2 hours, depending upon range of issues/challenges. Any questions related to the chart, and assessment will be reviewed at this time. Observations will be made, and a plan will be created. Families typically utilize 1-5 home visits, and many families have found that one home visit with several follow-up phone calls will suffice.

Free e-mail support (1 month)
Many families make use of e-mail support to trouble-shoot quick and simple questions and answers. If the question necessitates an in-depth answer, we will schedule a phone consultation.

"Quick Call" Phone Consults (1 month)
I encourage families to check-in with questions, with free "Quick Calls" lasting 5 minutes. Most questions are answered within 5-10 minutes. If a question necessitates longer phone time, we will schedule a longer phone conversation, lasting between 15-60 minutes (time is pro-rated by the minute).

Extensive Resources
Access to hundreds of free handouts and guidelines as needed including topics such as napping, and dropping naps, weaning, sample schedules for newborn to 5 years, solids intro, tantrums, fussing, whining, potty training, transition to toddler bed, travel, and nanny/daycare resources. Parents can request handouts as needed.

What Parents have to say:

“ I am writing to thank Angelique for our Walk & Talk today. I had been feeling unmotivated to get out of the house with my 6 week old baby, all of the reasons - wasn’t comfortable with using the car seat, couldn’t think of a place to walk that wasn’t slippery, and still hadn’t figured out how to use the sling and feed my baby out and about. All that changed today - thank you Angelique - not to mention, I was able to talk about all of the changes that our little guy has brought to our lives. I feel so much better, now that I got a little exercise in today, and found out that it isn’t so difficult feeding a baby in a sling while sitting on a tree log. My baby slept so well after the walk. I’ve already scheduled the next four weeks of Walk & Talk’s. Thank you, thank you! ”
