SM
Mother of 4-Year-Old-Twins
“Before finding Gal's coaching program, I was at my breaking point with my twins' tantrums. They would feed off each other's energy, and I'd end up yelling—only to feel horrible afterward. What made Gal's approach different was how she helped me understand the brain science behind their behavior. That knowledge changed everything—I started seeing their meltdowns as communication rather than manipulation and was able to work with them instead of against them.
Gal taught me how to get curious instead of reactive, and that simple mindset shift transformed our entire household dynamic. Her practical strategies, combined with emotional regulation techniques tailored to each child's temperament, made all the difference. What I appreciated most was how Gal truly supported me through the process. Parenting twins can be incredibly isolating, but knowing I could text Gal during a challenging moment and receive immediate, thoughtful guidance was invaluable. Instead of waiting for our next scheduled session to troubleshoot, I could implement her suggestions right away when they mattered most.
Six months later, our mornings are peaceful, bedtimes are enjoyable, and I can help my twins navigate their feelings without losing my own sanity. The best part is how much more connected I feel to each of them now that I understand their needs beneath their behavior. I recommend Gal's coaching to every parent I know—it's truly transformed our family.”

MT
Father of an 8-Year-Old
“As a dad raised in a “children should be seen and not heard” household, where even looking at my parents the wrong way could get me scolded, I struggled with how to handle my kids' emotional outbursts. I found myself repeating those same patterns. My son's defiance triggered something deep in me, and I was becoming the aggressive parent I swore I'd never be. What set Gal's coaching apart was how she acknowledged my good intentions while guiding me toward more effective approaches.
The turning point came when Gal helped me recognize how my own childhood was influencing my parenting. That awareness was uncomfortable but necessary. She provided practical strategies for setting boundaries without crushing my child’s spirit and gave me specific language to use during tough moments. Parenting can be incredibly lonely, especially for dads trying to break generational cycles, but Gal created a judgment-free space where I could openly share my struggles.
I can’t overstate how valuable Gal’s consistent support was. Being able to send a quick message when I felt triggered and receiving a response within minutes helped me break old patterns in real time. The weekly accountability and troubleshooting made all the difference in actually implementing what I learned.
My son and I have gone from constant power struggles to mutual respect 90% of the time—previously, it was maybe 20%. He now comes to me with problems because he trusts I’ll listen rather than lecture. My relationship with my daughter has also deepened, even though Gal’s coaching focused on younger kids—the principles still applied, and she helped me tweak my approach. Gal’s coaching didn’t just improve behaviour; it repaired our relationship and helped me become the father I always wanted to be.”

JL
Single Mother of a 6-Year-Old
“Gal’s parent coaching literally saved my relationship with my daughter. After my divorce, I became more stressed, and her behavior became increasingly challenging—epic meltdowns in public, refusing simple requests at home, and pushing away my affection. I felt rejected by her daily, which only made things worse. I tried everything from sticker charts to time-outs, but nothing worked long-term.
What made Gal’s approach different was how she helped me understand that my daughter’s “bad behavior” was actually grief and anxiety manifesting in the only way she knew how. Shifting my mindset from “How do I make her behave?” to “What does she need from me right now?” while still holding firm boundaries completely transformed our interactions. I love that Gal doesn’t take an extreme approach—she understands that parenting is a balance, and different moments require different responses.
As a single parent, I often felt completely alone, second-guessing every decision. My daughter’s dad is no longer in the picture, so I was on my own. Gal became my parenting lifeline. I even texted her during a meltdown at the shops and received immediate, practical guidance. She truly held my hand through the hardest moments, celebrating my small wins and gently redirecting me when I slipped into old patterns.
The guided role-play sessions we did together gave me confidence to handle tough moments differently. Now, instead of escalating, I can de-escalate situations while maintaining boundaries. A month after Gal's coaching, my daughter’s teacher commented on the remarkable improvement in her emotional regulation at school. More importantly, bedtime tears have been replaced with meaningful conversations and cuddles. Thank you, Gal, for showing me how to be the “pilot” my daughter needed during this difficult transition.”

PK and RK
Parents of a 3-Year-Old and 7-Year-Old
“We came to Gal’s coaching with two major challenges—our 3-year-old's aggressive behavior toward his older brother and our completely different parenting approaches, which were causing tension in our marriage. I (PK) tended toward permissiveness due to guilt over my long work hours, while RK leaned toward strict discipline, influenced by his cultural upbringing.
What made Gal’s coaching different was how she helped us align our parenting values before tackling behavior issues. The exercises she guided us through revealed that we actually wanted the same things for our children—we were just approaching them from opposite directions. This confusion led our kids to pit us against each other rather than see us as a united team. Understanding their neurological and individual differences explained why our older son adjusted easily to rules while our younger one needed more flexibility and preparation.
Without family support, parenting often felt isolating. Gal’s accessibility between sessions was a game-changer. Having an immediate lifeline when we were stuck in a disagreement helped us resolve issues before tensions escalated.
The personalized regulation plan Gal created for our 3-year-old dramatically reduced his hitting and biting within weeks. Learning to validate emotions while setting clear behavioral boundaries gave us a consistent approach we could both implement. The sibling rivalry has shifted into genuine friendship (most days!), and instead of undermining each other, we now present as a united front. Gal’s coaching didn’t just improve our children’s behavior—it strengthened our marriage by giving us shared language and strategies we both believe in.”

MW
Father of a 4-Year-Old
“I was skeptical about parent coaching, believing my daughter's behaviors were just “terrible twos” that never ended and something we simply had to endure. Our relationship had deteriorated to the point where every interaction turned into a tantrum. A friend recommended Gal’s coaching, and it was our last resort before considering more drastic interventions.
The biggest shift came from Gal’s guidance on active listening—truly hearing my daughter without immediately jumping to advice or consequences. I realised I had been treating her like a problem to solve rather than a person to understand. Gal taught me that connection had to come before correction.
I couldn’t talk about my struggles at work or even with friends—I was embarrassed by how bad things had become. Being able to text Gal after a particularly tough interaction and receive immediate, practical suggestions allowed me to course-correct while the situation was still fresh, instead of falling into the same mistakes. Her responsiveness during those critical moments gave me the confidence to try new approaches that I might have otherwise abandoned.
She didn’t just give me parenting strategies; she helped me understand brain development in a way that created genuine empathy for my daughter’s experience. Just three weeks into implementing Gal’s suggestions, my daughter came to me with a problem instead of hiding it—something that previously would have turned into an “unexplained” meltdown later. That moment alone made all the difference.”
