About Bird & Babe

Bird & Babe is dedicated to creating a more vibrant and beautiful world through supporting parents and schools in meaningful ways. So often, we may be at a loss at knowing where to start or how best to move forward in different complexities be they relational, familial, societal, or institutional. Our world is ever-changing world, and we need to be awake and wise for the sake of truly educating — passing on wisdom to — the children in our care while creating rich and attuned learning environments be in in the home or school.

Educational, relational, and multi-modal approaches inspire the work Bird & Babe does — and these are rooted in educational theory, trauma-informed ways of knowing, narrative/story work, arts-based methods, play, neuropsychology, and interpersonal neurobiology.

Every parent and/or school leader desires their children to flourish — but may be overwhelmed by the unknown or complex factors. Therefore, Jessica seeks to best support the child through best supporting parents and/or educators with warm, hopeful, and connective ways forward through the mist. In certain contexts, she also meets with the student.

Jessica would be absolutely thrilled to work with you or a family/school you know to create a robust, vibrant, supportive, and enriching environment that cultivates trust, peace, life, and joy for all.

As an educator, theologian, advocate, and mother, she is committed to walking alongside families and schools to build strong advocacy for children and a flourishing parent-to-child attachment for the sake of both parent and child, the school, and to contribute, in some small way, towards the healing of humanity in our current milieu.
