Hi! I'm Alyssa!
I’ve seen firsthand the struggles parents face when trying to support their children’s growth—emotionally, academically, and behaviorally. My mission is to help you feel empowered and equipped with effective tools to guide your child’s unique journey. Whether it’s navigating special education, creating a homeschool plan, or understanding your child’s developmental needs, I’m here to provide practical solutions and compassionate support. Together, we’ll create a customized roadmap that brings clarity to your challenges, deepens your family connections, and ensures your child has the best foundation for a thriving future.
The Fig & Olive Difference
I could spend a lot of time telling you all about my background... like the fact that I was a behavioral therapist for 7 years, or a special education teacher for 12 years, or even an instructional coach for 4 years. However, that experience doesn't give the full picture of who I am and what makes me different.
At the end of the day, I'm a super passionate mom who has based my entire career and parenting around how the brain works. My strategies are evidence-based and Biblically-sound. I have worked with all ages of children with diverse needs.
- Clarity in Supporting Development
- Increased Confidence
- Stronger Family Connection
I'm here to help you create...

My three children...
My children are my greatest joy and my biggest inspiration. When one of my kids was diagnosed with Tourette's and spina bifida at the beginning of second grade, it changed everything. It led us to homeschooling and gave me a new perspective on how each unique brain impacts learning. Parenting has been a journey filled with unexpected challenges, and I know I’m not alone in that. I understand firsthand the heartache and resilience it takes to face these trials, and I’m here to offer the empathy and support you need to navigate your own journey with confidence and compassion.
Brain-Based Learning...
Children thrive when we take into consideration how their brains work in their current stage of development—valuing creativity alongside logic, fostering emotional resilience, and building the skills they need to navigate life’s complexities. Through my coaching, I guide parents to support their children in a balanced, holistic way, helping each child develop into a well-rounded individual equipped to learn, adapt, and succeed.
Biblically-Based Solutions
Biblically-sound solutions are central to everything I do because I believe that guiding children means nurturing both their spirit and character, not just their intellect. When we root our parenting and teaching in faith, we create a foundation of love, integrity, and purpose, providing children with values that help them understand who they are and what they stand for. Through my coaching, I work with parents to instill these principles, encouraging a strong moral compass and resilience that supports them through every season of growth.
