Jess Baldenhofer, MSED
Parent Coach & Educator
Hi, I’m a certified parent coach with a 20-year background in museum education. After becoming a mother myself, I shifted my focus to what I care most deeply about: advocating for children and supporting the parents who raise them.
Through one-on-one coaching and group workshops, I help caregivers develop their own parenting approach rooted in their unique family values—not someone else’s rulebook. My goal is to help parents feel more confident, connected, and joyful in their everyday parenting lives.
My workshops are for parents with children of all ages.
Nope, no cost! One free workshop per organization.
Each workshop is 60 minutes long.
Yes! Workshops will include some education from me, along with lots of open-ended activities for parents and plenty of time for Q&A.
Depending on how many people sign up, just a small room with very minimal set up.
Absolutely happy to work with your organization to make sure the workshop fits the needs of your organization and the specific parents attending.
Yes! We can certainly offer your workshop virtually if that makes more sense for your audience.

Interested in One-on-One Support?
While these workshops are designed for groups, I also offer private coaching for individual parents and caregivers who want more personalized support.
If you—or a colleague—are facing specific parenting challenges and want to feel more confident, calm, and connected at home, I invite you to schedule a free Parenting Reset Call. We’ll talk through what’s feeling hard, what you want to change, and how coaching can help.
