“I am currently taking the conscious co-parenting classes after 8 weeks of a 10 week course I have learned how to hire the right legal team and the value of being preparing my attorney for court, how to communicate with my ex and with my children, how to be a more effective parent, I was not aware that I was experiencing parental alienation during this class I could see it very clearly and how to change my reactions to improve my situation. I am looking forward to the rest of the series. I am getting a lot out of the class. I have already referred two other people to take the class.”

“Dorcy is the best thing has happened to my family. She has a wonderful way of connecting with kids and people. I had not seen my daughter in 10 years. I had no idea where she was or how to find her. I had given up and when I hired Dorcy to coach me through getting over missing her and on with my life. In the process I learned ways to love her unconditionally even though she was not in my life. I learned to forgive her, my ex and most importantly myself. I had no clue what I was doing to myself. While working with Dorcy one on one she gave me things to do to reach out and I started a blog in my daughters name and she is a teenager now and she googled her name and she found me. My blog included letters and pictures and a way to communicate with my daughter even though I had no idea where she was. I had the blog up for almost two year before she found me but she did and the greatest part was that my work with Dorcy over the last two years allowed me to get my head to a place where our reconnection could take place with minimal pain. She reached out to me from her cell phone and we have been talking since the beginning of 2009. We are meeting for the first time next month. She is coming to Southern California with her grandmother who is willing to let us meet. All I can say is Dorcy knows her stuff. She is firm but real and she seems to know things about me that I have kept a secret from what I thought was everyone…that may have been the case but not Dorcy. She knows.”

“I took Dorcy’s 10 week class, I like the way Dorcy holds everyone accountable. This class is like nothing I have ever done before. I did not know what I was doing to make my situation worse and understanding that has helped me tremendously in working out a better custody situation with my kids. Things are not perfect however they are so much better then they were before. I have started to coach with Dorcy one on one so that I can get my attorney prepared to get more time with my kids. Thank you Dorcy for your presence in the world.”

“I am in the middle of my 10 week class and I have learned so much and learned how to do things right away after every class I can start to do something different. This is a class that I get actual tangible action items that I can easily do. You will love this class if you are going through a divorce and feel at a loss working with your ex.”

~ Jean R., Charlotte NC



“I was not able to afford to work with Dorcy one on one since I had spent thousands on attorney’s fees. So I took the ten week class and I found in from the beginning was that I wished I had hired Dorcy before I hired my attorney. I could tell from the first class was that I would have had a very different experiences with my case. Since finishing the class have made huge changes in my life and I have been able to save so much money with what I would have paid to an attorney had I not taken this class, that I know am able to do some one on one coaching with Dorcy. This had made all the difference in my life. I am seeing my two kids on a more consistence basis and I am have much more of a positive effect on my two children who refused to spend any time with me at all before now. Dorcy was correct in saying that when the healing starts as long as you are willing to do the work it does not take long for it to happen. Kids really do not want to have to choose.”

~ Mandy Garrett, Ontario, Canada



“I have been coaching off and on with Dorcy since 2007. I was fortunate to have found her early in my separation where guidance and help with preparing made a difference in the way the court viewed my case and to stop my kids mother from keeping them from me. I did not want to believe what was happening at first and then Dorcy mde me buck up and take action. It was the best thing I ever did. I have 50/50 custody and although I still have to deal with my ex bad mouthing me I have learned techniques to teach my kids how to stay in charge of their own minds and actions. If you have the opportunity to work with Dorcy she is the best.”

“When we decide to get a divorce we were a mess and had no idea how to handle it. We met Dorcy at a friends and she shared with us what she did. We decided to give parenting coordination a try. It was really hard to not put our kids in the middle my ex cheated and I wanted him to suffer for what he did I was shocked when I learned that what I was doing had a name but that it was considered child abuse even before the separation I was alienating my kids from their dad. I wanted my kids to like me more and I wanted them to be mad at their dad for breaking up our family. Since I was able to work with Dorcy from the beginning she helped me to see what was happening early and I was able to stop. It is not easy and I still find myself getting caught up in the drama of my feelings however I have leaned some valuable techniques to stop myself from doing this. We have worked out a custody agreement that works for all of us and we, even though we do not get along, do our best to put our children first. I would recommend working with Dorcy at any stage of your divorce. She understands, she is articulate, she cares, and she is honest. She will not let be manipulated. She saved our kids as far as I am concerned.”

~ S. Anderson, Rockville, Maryland



“I did not want to admit that there was something wrong with me or that I had anything to do with what was happening with my kids. Then the court took my kids away forced supervised visitation and mandatory parenting classes. I had followed Dorcy on facebook through a group for a while and so I contacted her with a bad attitude and furious with the legal system and my ex. Boy was I in for a surprise. I signed up for the parenting classes and was amazing at how many others were in my same situation and what was even more amazing was Dorcy would not lets us all sit around and complain about our situation. She got right to the heart of the matter and whipped us all into shape. We had to face what we were doing that was making our situation worse and then we had to make serious changes. The co-parenting classes are really about transformation and not just another self help group of people feeling sorry for themselves. I have changed my life and this has significantly impacted all of my relationship. Thank you Dorcy for being so firm yet loving with our group. You are doing great things.”

“The ten week co-parenting class is full tools that you can use in all aspects of your life. I learned a lot about how to participate in my family even though we are no longer living in the same house. Great info I would recommend it to anyone thinking about getting a divorce if you have kids.”

~ Allen Boyd, Philadelphia, PA



“This is the most insightful well rounded and content rich parenting class. You will learn about how to work in a relationship that is not working, How to communicate and how to not react. Great stuff. I am excited to have been a part of something that is helping me win more time with my kids in court.”

“I have been working through all of the court and legal problems all on my own and had given up. It seemed like the attorneys were working against me and with each other and the judges was on their team and they were all on the team of my ex. I was at the end of my rope. My funds were depleted and I was at the bottom. I was part of a group in the bay area of dads that were pretty much in the same boat. One guy was starting to see some results and changes in his case. We noticed he had changed as well. I pulled him aside and asked what gives? He had shared with me that he had hired a custody coach and it was the best thing he had ever done. I resisted that at first thinking just another person to take my money and the fact that I was out of money. Two weeks later back at the meeting Kim was bragging about the changes in his life and in his custody situation I was intrigued and irritated that this was not happening for me and that he was talking about it with the group and we were all miserable. I asked for the number to his coach and waited another week before I called. I was concerned that she would not be able to help me, and that would be the end of my relationship with my son. After the first session I felt a glimmer of hope. Then as time passed I missed two sessions and things were getting worse. Dorcy would send emails and call and check on me. She said from the beginning “this would never work until you are ready to make the commitment on the inside”. I was not sure that I could do that or what that meant so I avoided it. Then she sent me an article she had written about a reunion that she helped make happen with a dad who had not seen his kids in six years because his ex moved them to another state and he could not locate them or afford to move and I had received some paperwork from my attorney that my ex wanted to do the same thing. I decided then that I had nothing to loose so I started to work with Dorcy as a coach. The results were like nothing I imagined would ever happen. Because I took action and responsibility I was able to prevent my ex from moving away and I was able to gain more time with my kids. Things are still difficult at times but I am a work in progress. I am still coaching with Dorcy on an as needed basis. She has taught me valuable skills that apply to many aspects on my life and have allowed me to live a happier life and be a better father to my kids.”

“After taking the parenting class I was able to be a more affective parent and I was also able to let go of the things about my ex that I could not change. I was able to communicate better with everyone including my ex.”

~ Jenny Prine, Los Angeles, California



“When I first met Dorcy and heard what she did it was the first time I knew that the horror I was experiencing was not right and that I was not alone. I did not share what was happening with my kids with Dorcy at first. I was embarrassed and we were friends so I did not want her to think hat I wanted to be friends so she could help me. However Dorcy is intuitive and she knew already. I had already made the decision that something needed to change. That I could no longer allow the dysfunction in the relationship with my daughter to continue I just had no idea how I was going to do that.

Dorcy started to ask questions that led me to spilling my beans. She did not go easy on me because we are friends she put it all out there and was very frank and brutally honest. I resisted her words and advice again not wanting her to think that my situation was that bad and even worse that I wanted to be friends because of her expertise. She would have none of this. Dorcy has a natural ability to deliver hard to hear information in a way that can be heard, absorbed and then implemented. Because of the work I am doing with Dorcy I was able to put a legal document in place to prevent my ex from taking my kids out of the country and not returning. Her simple to follow and implement strategies have helped me spend time with my daughter that has avoided me since April of 2006. She would not come on any of the visitation time and she was rude and totally hateful towards me. We are just going down the path of spending time together and it is obvious that this will be a difficult and challenging road however, I can see where I was going wrong and making matters worse. I have slowly implemented things that have continued to move me down a road to a restored relationship with both of my children. I will not stop where I am now. I see the value in continuing to learn and grow and be the best father I can be.

I would recommend Dorcy and her services to anyone dealing with Parental Alienation and wants to get their relationship back with their children. This is not easy work but it is work that will change your life.”
