Monthly Online Support
Hi there, My name is heather and I am a certified christian life coach and homeschool mom since 2001. We have 8 children. I am looking to launch a monthly online support group starting this fall.
But before I do, I am running a test group for three weeks in august and I would love for you to join me if your able!
This is not solely a CM group, it will be open to any mom who homeschools.
The format of the group will be that you email me your questions about homeschooling and then we will meet via Zoom for about an hour and I will discuss answers and thoughts I have about your questions. I will then have an open discussion for you all to share your solutions and thoughts. I am hoping this will be an interactive and encouraging group. I will try to organize the questions into cohesive categories for the test group. The monthly group during the school year will have a topic each month to send questions about.
After the test group I will be sending out a questionnaire and I am looking for your feedback! To decide if there is a need for this particular group and how I can improve it.
Thank you for considering joining me. If you have any further questions feel free to call or text me at
(717) 673-7889 or email me at hvlifecoach@gmail.com
