I then worked at a school for children with emotional disturbances, at first in the classroom and later as the Director of Behavioral Services overseeing their program for students with moderate to severe autism. I later served as the Director of Behavioral Services at a large organization serving children and adults with autism in both school and group home settings. In 2009, I founded my first company, which provided in-home behavioral health (ABA) therapy for children with autism. The company grew to have 75 employees and consistently won awards for being one of the best companies to work for in the nation, and providing the highest quality ABA services in the area. I founded Confidently Mommin’ in 2020 to serve families as a Parenting Coach. Using my extensive education and background, I use proven processes to help parents know how to calmly and confidently manage any and all of their child’s challenging behaviors and enjoy their family time. I have been a guest lecturer at Azusa Pacific University and San Jose State University and have supervised BCBA candidates internationally. I am a popular speaker on parenting and behavioral strategies. More About My Personal Life My husband Brian and I have been married for 17 years. We have 3 hilarious, wonderful, and exhausting children and a sweet pit bull named Goose. I am very involved in my church and serve as a leader in the mom’s ministry.

Find answers to frequently asked questions about Confidently Mommin’ and Melissa Shulz, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Learn more about parenting coaching services, approaches, and how to get started on your journey. FAQ Do you have an office near me? I’m as close as your computer! I work with all my clients via Zoom and my certification is international so I get to serve clients anywhere and everywhere. When do you observe my child? I actually don’t! I have worked in families homes for over twenty years and have found it is most effective to talk to the parent and hear their perspective on their child’s behavior. My clients are welcome to send me videos of their child but that’s usually not necessary. Should my partner be on the consultation call too? You are both welcome to be on the call! However, most people prefer to talk to me individually. My coaching program focuses on one parent. Each parent has different triggers, emotional reactions, and default responses, so I work with each parent individually to address your specific patterns with your child. All coaching sessions can be recorded and a transcript and summary is provided that can be shared with the partner and the partner is welcome to join occasional sessions to ensure everyone is on the same page. I offer a discount for couples that each purchase their own individual coaching package. Do you acccept insurance? No, my services are private pay only. My package was thoughtfully and intentionally created to bridge the gap between what medical insurance provides and what families actually need to change their child(ren)’s behavior. Is your coaching program the same as therapy No! I am not a licensed therapist and do not do therapy. I LOVE therapy and recommend it for all humans, and what I do is very different. While we will discuss some thoughts and emotions that are keeping you stuck, we will do this in a very intentional and step by step way with an emphasis on behavior change. I do not provide medical treatment for a mental health condition, instead I use a unique blend of mindset work and research-based behavioral strategies to change your behavior so that you can change your child’s behavior. Some of my clients are also in therapy to resolve childhood issues, trauma, treat a mental health condition, etc., and it works well to do both. How much does your coaching program cost? I share that information with you on the consultation call once I understand your unique family situation and what your needs are. Become the parent you want to be.

Melissa Schulz is the real deal! She was super responsive when I posted about how to handle some sensory issues my middle child is having.

I loved working with Melissa! Her knowledge, compassion and helpful tips came when we needed it the most with our deeply feeling child. She patiently answered all my questions and what ifs, and helped me see what I was missing. Melissa is so easy to talk to and personable. I am so glad to have her as a resource for what the next season of life brings! Bindiya M. Melissa has been an amazing coach and I have learned so much from her.

Working with her has been so beneficial and I would recommend it to anyone interested. Kelly L. Melissa was a game changer in my Mom-Game for helping me build my relationship and understanding of my “Spicey Mama 2 Year Old”. Being a teacher and having a “Pretty Chill Little Dude” 5 year old, I thought (keyword thought) the second rodeo would be an easier one. Wrong. Having never experienced full blown tantrums in the grocery stores, backbreaking dance moves while trying to get Spicey Mama in her car seat, full on eye contact while slamming her head into the ground just for fun (? ), and total pet torture while smiling, I was pretty sure there was a switch on my child’s back that was incorrectly flipped from “Good” to (you know)… I cried nightly. My husband and I yelled daily. Still guilty about this one, but I asked God why my son didn’t have these issues, but my daughter did. I questioned all of my parenting and teaching philosophies and what we did wrong. Then came: Melissa. Melissa was my fresh breath of air. Melissa reminded me of what it means to be TWO. She brought me into a two year old’s understanding of what life is. She gave me perspective. After I gained a new understanding of what my toddler was seeing and feeling, we then strategized. We pinpointed specific issues needing to work on as a family and with S.M., and game planned. This is what we needed. There was no “quick fix” for my daughter, but long term intensive, loving attention and structured language to support the goals I set with Melissa. This was all done in ONE session! Parents, if you are in a place where you are struggling with parenting, want to set a goal, need a new perspective on how tiny humans work, or just need a fellow parent to laugh/cry/feel frustrated/let it out with, Melissa is the gal for the gig!

Our days aren’t perfect, but they are so much better lately." I've always dreaded my alone time with him. He has been a difficult child from day one for me, until the last few months he’s really turning a corner! My son was having 5-6 tantrums a day that would last for up to an hour of full blown screaming, crying, foaming at the mouth, hitting, kicking, biting, and throwing things. I had no idea what the right reaction was. I tried staying calm, I tried yelling back, time-out, ignoring him, etc. I was losing my mind. I’m now enjoying my sweet child! Our days aren’t perfect, but they are so much better lately. All to say I highly recommend Melissa! Thank you so much for the months of parent coaching. It has SO paid off! – Lyndee S. Learn how to think, feel, and show up every day as the mom you want to be You are going to know exactly what parenting strategy will work best for each unique child and personality. You won’t need to consult Dr. Google ever again. This program is different from all the things you’ve tried before. Most of my clients have read all the parenting books, watched all the reels, stayed up late googling different strategies, and have tried all the things but nothing ever works. Not only will you get expert advice on exactly which strategy to use for which kid for which behavior at which age and stage and learn how to do that yourself effortlessly, but we are also going to change your perspective on yourself as a mom and on your child’s behavior. Parenting a child that is strong-willed, highly sensitive, or neurodiverse can be hard. It feels like scaling a mountain. At the same time, our brain gives us all sorts of negative thoughts about ourselves and our parenting. “I'm not good enough.” “I am a terrible mom.” “I can’t believe I yelled AGAIN.” These lies play on repeat in our head and suck away all of our energy and joy. Each negative thought is a brick in a backpack you are carrying around. While trying to scale a mountain. I’ll teach you a proven process to stop listening to those negative thoughts and drop the guilt. You will learn how to finally put that heavy backpack down and just focus on scaling the mountain of parenting. And since you now know exactly how to respond to the challenging behaviors, the mountain is a bit less steep than before. Once you know how to do this, you will have more energy. You’ll be able to really enjoy your children and this phase of parenting instead of just trying to survive. And you will know how to do it for the rest of your life! "Melissa has been an amazing coach and I have learned so much from her." Melissa has been an amazing coach and I have learned so much from her.

You also have the option of posting in our Facebook group anytime to get help with exactly what you need. I’m scared to make the investment… I get it! Many of my clients have already invested in books, webinars or trainings that haven’t worked, and they are hesitant to invest in something else. This program is different because it is created specifically for moms of strong-willed, highly sensitive, and neurodiverse kids. I have worked with families just like yours for the past 22 years and used that experience and knowledge to create this program! I'm also a mom of two neurodiverse kids so I understand first hand the challenges and what actually works. My clients come in and get the results they want and more! It’s okay to be nervous or scared. It’s an investment after all! But decide that you’re going to come in and get exactly what you need so you can become the mom you’ve always wanted to be and give your kids the unique support they need. I’m scared I won’t follow through… This is normal. It can be scary to make an investment and not know if you’ll quit or not. But I can tell you that as your coach, my goal is to get you to the finish line. Expect regular coaching calls, consistent posts in our Facebook group, monthly challenges, and more. Having a coach and a community of other moms like you offers you that extra accountability. Can my partner join too? Confidently Mommin' Together is a program for moms only. The live group coaching and exclusive Facebook group are a safe environment for just moms to be vulnerable and receive support. However, clients are welcome to share all my content videos with their partner or other primary caregivers for your child to help everyone be on the same page. I also love supporting dads individually through my 1:1 coaching . How many moms will be in the group?

What to Expect on the Consultation Call The consultation call is a 90 minute Zoom call with me. (Make sure to schedule it when you will be relatively private and distraction free with a good internet connection.) I’ll start by asking a lot of questions about what is happening with you and your kids; what you’ve tried before, and why you think it hasn't worked. I’ll get a feel for the individual personalities of the members of your family, the possible causes of the behavior challenges, and what your goals and priorities are for your family. Then I will give you my assessment of what’s going on; what the underlying issues are and how to solve them. I’ll tell you the skills that you and your kids need to learn to create the family life that you want.

You get to decide, on the call, with no pressure or judgment, if you are interested in working together. I’ll help you make the best decision for your family (which might be yes OR no!) if you want to talk it through together. You will leave the call feeling great about your decision to work together or not, and have a clear plan moving forward of how things are going to be different. You will look back on this call as a crossroads…the defining moment when your parenting changed for good forever!

Full blown tantrums in the grocery store, backbreaking dance moves to get her in her car seat, full on eye contact while slamming her head into the ground, and pet torture while smiling…I cried nightly and yelled daily. Melissa was my breath of fresh air. She brought me into a two year old’s understanding of what life is and gave me perspective. There was no “quick fix” but long term intensive, loving attention and structured language to support my daughter.

Join Now Learn how to think, feel, and show up every day as the mom you want to be You are going to know exactly what parenting strategy will work best for each unique child and personality. You won’t need to consult Dr. Google ever again. This program is different from all the things you’ve tried before. Most of my clients have read all the parenting books, watched all the reels, stayed up late googling different strategies, and have tried all the things but nothing ever works. Not only will you get expert advice on exactly which strategy to use for which kid for which behavior at which age and stage and learn how to do that yourself effortlessly, but we are also going to change your perspective on yourself as a mom and on your child’s behavior. Parenting a child that is strong-willed, highly sensitive, or neurodiverse can be hard. It feels like scaling a mountain. At the same time, our brain gives us all sorts of negative thoughts about ourselves and our parenting. “I'm not good enough.” “I am a terrible mom.” “I can’t believe I yelled AGAIN.” These lies play on repeat in our head and suck away all of our energy and joy. Each negative thought is a brick in a backpack you are carrying around. While trying to scale a mountain. I’ll teach you a proven process to stop listening to those negative thoughts and drop the guilt. You will learn how to finally put that heavy backpack down and just focus on scaling the mountain of parenting. And since you now know exactly how to respond to the challenging behaviors, the mountain is a bit less steep than before. Once you know how to do this, you will have more energy. You’ll be able to really enjoy your children and this phase of parenting instead of just trying to survive. And you will know how to do it for the rest of your life! "I’m now enjoying my sweet child! Our days aren’t perfect, but they are so much better lately." I've always dreaded my alone time with him. He has been a difficult child from day one for me, until the last few months he’s really turning a corner! My son was having 5-6 tantrums a day that would last for up to an hour of full blown screaming, crying, foaming at the mouth, hitting, kicking, biting, and throwing things. I had no idea what the right reaction was. I tried staying calm, I tried yelling back, time-out, ignoring him, etc. I was losing my mind. I’m now enjoying my sweet child! Our days aren’t perfect, but they are so much better lately. All to say I highly recommend Melissa! Thank you so much for the months of parent coaching. It has SO paid off! – Lyndee S. "Melissa has been an amazing coach and I have learned so much from her." Melissa has been an amazing coach and I have learned so much from her.

Many of my clients have already invested in books, webinars or trainings that haven’t worked, and they are hesitant to invest in something else. This program is different because it is created specifically for moms of strong-willed, highly sensitive, and neurodiverse kids. I have worked with families just like yours for the past 22 years and used that experience and knowledge to create this program! I'm also a mom of two neurodiverse kids so I understand first hand the challenges and what actually works. My clients come in and get the results they want and more! It’s okay to be nervous or scared. It’s an investment after all! But decide that you’re going to come in and get exactly what you need so you can become the mom you’ve always wanted to be and give your kids the unique support they need. I’m scared I won’t follow through… This is normal. It can be scary to make an investment and not know if you’ll quit or not. But I can tell you that as your coach, my goal is to get you to the finish line. Expect regular coaching calls, consistent posts in our Facebook group, monthly challenges, and more. Having a coach and a community of other moms like you offers you that extra accountability. Can my partner join too? Confidently Mommin' Together is a program for moms only. The live group coaching and exclusive Facebook group are a safe environment for just moms to be vulnerable and receive support. However, clients are welcome to share all my content videos with their partner or other primary caregivers for your child to help everyone be on the same page.
