About Michelle Kenney
Before becoming a hand in hand certified instructor in 2015, she worked for 12 years in the public school system, she was a teacher and a counselor. Regardless of her experience, that didn't prepare her for motherhood.
After years of consequences, bribes, star charts, she found Hand In Hand Parenting created by Patty Wilpfeiffer and it re-shaped the relationship with her daughters.
She is now passionate about helping others find their way about the murky business of being a connected parent. She loves leading groups and finds it dynamic and transformative for both her and the groups that she leads. She also strongly believes that listening partnerships are the cornerstone to moving through difficulties.
She holds a master's degree in education and even speaks fluent Spanish.
