"Ellen's class gave me the courage to try something new with my family dynamics." Ellen W., Easton, CT

 

"Ellen's three sons are a few years older than my two boys and have always been great role models. From the time they taught my oldest son to ride a two-wheel bicycle eleven years ago, they set great life examples, going to good colleges, giving back to their communities and enjoying life. Ellen's sons have grown into wonderful young adults and they could not have gotten there without Ellen's love and guidance. I often look to Ellen for parenting advise as I raise my sons. And that's the TRUTH!"

Tricia, Ellen's younger sister
