I am a professional curriculum writer and homeschool consultant, and I also run Little Bluestem, a homeschool collective for families in Southern Illinois who are interested in progressive education.

I absolutely love my job and I would be very happy to support your family on this homeschool journey!


RUZUKU COURSE OPPORTUNITIES
for specific main lesson blocks

Want suggestions tailored to your personal needs while Waldorf main lesson block planning? Try my NEW Ruzuku online courses for collaborative team planning as well as one-on-one support. This is the most economical way to have a homeschool consultant, since we only work together for one block.

Click on each course image or title for more details or to enroll. My courses are always open, so you can sign up when it works for you! And you'll always be able to go back and revisit the course content.


All courses include LIFETIME ACCESS.

NOTE: Immersive Experiences allow you to follow along with me step-by-step through the entire grade. I post all my daily notes and photos there. We form a cohort (limited to 15) and travel through the year together! All the Ruzuku courses for that grade level are also included to support you in your planning.

TRADITIONAL CONSULTING OPTIONS

I offer consulting services for homeschooling families as well as support for new Waldorf teachers.

Why settle for a pre-packaged curriculum? Get a curriculum that's tailored to your family's needs, budget, and schedule. Get the support you need and a school year designed for your child!


I also offer workshops on progressive education.
Contact me to discuss my speaking fee for schools and homeschool co-ops.


PHONE CONSULTATION PACKAGE

Every Phone Consultation Package includes two phone calls via phone or Zoom. Just $75.00.

After our initial phone conversation I will organize a list of all of my recommendations for you, with links, on a personal webpage with a unique web address.

Then you'll get a second phone call to follow up and answer additional questions and provide suggestions, after you've had time to read the information and reflect.

This service is ideal for brand-new Waldorf families who are facing setting up family rhythms, designing the homeschool space, determining which grade level is best for their child, learning about main lesson books and watercolor painting and form drawing and other Waldorf-specific techniques, etc.

If you have a lot of initial questions, or you feel completely lost, a phone consultation is efficient and will immediately help you to feel supported.

You may continue to purchase phone consulting, TWO phone calls at a time, for as long as you'd like, and I will continue to update your webpage with new suggestions as your children grow older.
