What my clients say…

  • "I was so scared when [kid name] started showing signs of being trans. Everything I read online had me totally overwhelmed. Gina helped me steer a clear course."

    —Former Coaching Client, Parent of a 4 year old transgender kindergardener

  • "When our little guy told us he's a girl my stomach dropped. I didn't know how to handle it with our family and the school. Gina helped us figure out what to share, when and with whom."

    —Current Coaching Client, Mother of a 9 year old transgirl

  • "I don't know anyone else who is going through this. Gina showed me I wasn't alone and helped me find a supportive community."

    —Former Client, Father of an 8 year olf transboy

  • "I'm not proud of this, but I honestly didn't believe my daughter when she first told us. Then she started having trouble at school. Calling Gina helped me figure out the stuff I couldn't ask her and helped me work with teachers even while I was figuring it all out."

    —Former Client, Foster Parent of an 11 year old non-binary kiddo.

  • "There are no other trans people in our rural area. Nobody knew how to help us. I'm truly grateful for Gina's coaching online."

    —Current Client, Parent of 6 year old transgender girl

  • "I am a good dad, but the pronoun thing was really hard for me. Coaching sessions gave me actionable steps to practice and get 'fluent' with this new language."

    —Former Client, Dad of a nonbinary 13 year old middle school student

  • "Gina you need a bigger platform. There are so many people out there who need to hear this."

    —Former Coaching Client, Parent of a 14 year old transgender teen

  • I do not share information. from these meetings outside of our session time. Even if you refer trusted friends and family to me, I will not reference our coaching work.

  • Our time will focus on the experience of the caregivers, not kids. In order to best focus on the parenting/caregiving experience I ask you not to bring the kids to these meetings.

  • Of course transgender and queer-identified parents of trans and gender nonconforming youth can schedule coaching calls.

    Most of the materials on this site are aimed at cisgender parents with little experience in queer community. I know first hand that the queer parenting experience is very different. Often private coaching is a better fit for LGBTQ+ parents.
