As a graduate of Simmons University, Boston, former homeschooling mother of 5 beautiful children, mother "in love" of two daughters in law, and a soon-to-be son in law, grandmother of 2, former ballerina at The Boston Ballet, teacher, small business owner, Founder and Director of “Grace & Glory School of Dance” (classical ballet), Co-Founder, Co-Director, & Vice Principal of Straight “A” Academy Private HIgh School and Education Center (of Bedford, NH), proficient Spanish speaker and translator, ILCT trained Life Coach, ADOH Trained Peer Facilitator, and aspiring author, Judee brings an unusual combination of skills to the table.
As someone who has survived decades of domestic violence, ongoing betrayal, and deep trauma bonding, along with a myriad of life-threatening health crises, Judee has gained valuable insight into trauma recovery work and has fought a long,hard battle for her own heart, mind, and soul. She has an unusual mixture of intensity and humor that keep her clients focused on the sometimes grueling work of healing while providing them ample opportunity to laugh and to find lasting joy along the way.
She believes that a Loving God has placed a piece of His own precious heart into each person she works with, and experiences unparalleled joy as her beloved clients heal and grow, daring to explore their indescribable worth to God. She rejoices as they become equipped with a tool box full of powerful resources, helping them to live balanced, healthy lives, find the support they need, and set healthy boundaries, all while keeping soft, vulnerable, and open hearts.
Her areas of specialty include, but are not limited to, Complex-PTSD (from ongoing trauma due to mental, emotional, psychological and/or physical abuse/domestic violence), betrayal and abandonment, divorce, custody battles, trauma-induced chronic illness, deconstruction and reconstruction of faith, spiritual abuse (at home and in church), parenting issues, anxiety and depression, addiction, family relatoinships, medical trauma, post-abortion depression, and more…
She has worked with people of all ages, and especially enjoys working with young people with whom she inevitably comes to share a precious bond.
Her mantra is:
“I can do no great thing for God; I can only do small things with great love…”
