“We love our kids, but parenting was very stressful until we took your class. We are happier and so are our kids! Thank you!”
“Thanks to Heidi and her workshop format, I could complete my court-ordered parenting class in time. Not only that, but I learned SO MUCH!! I don’t know what I would’ve done without her. Thanks Happy Heart Parenting!”
