"Divorced, Single Dad Finds Grace's Help Invaluable For His Children's Self Esteem!"

“As a single parent, I am very involved with my children and have found Grace's wealth of experience in child rearing a great help. In addition to her patience and understanding, both of my situation and that of my children, I have been very impressed with her ability to adapt to my circumstances, as well as being sensitive to the needs and input of my ex-wife. Above all, her positive attitude and her focus on building self-esteem in children has been invaluable for my children who are experiencing the hardships of divorce.”

"Our Whole Family Uses The Anger Management Program She Developed For Our Son... and... We All Have a Healthy Self Esteem Now"

“Grace has an amazing talent to understand a problem expressed via e-mail or phone and develop a individual counseling solution to the problem and relay this information directly back to me via e-mail or phone. I am a mother of an 18 year old boy and have called or e-mail Grace many times over the years. She has been able to smooth the waters when my son had anxiety about moving to a new state, making friends or starting a new school. She has developed programs to deal with my son’s anger management that the whole family implemented. With the many stresses that active families face today Grace has counseled us on how to reduce the feeling of being pulled to many ways and how to maintain healthy self esteem for everyone.”

"My Young Daughter Was Traumatized From a Ski Accident, but with Grace's help--is now fully recovered"

“My daughter, aged 7,was struck from behind by a 200 pound drunk man while skiing who knocked her unconscious on the ski trail... She never saw him coming... The man broke every bone in his face and spent the next month at trauma hospital after being airlifted out. My child was wearing a helmet and though traumatized, was physically unhurt. She was emotionally hurt. So were we.

Grace helped us and showed all of us, by her words and actions, how to build and believe in ourselves and accept that things happen, not for a reason, but by accident, and can get back up because we love it. We cannot let our fears fence us in. But we must recognize them.

She spoke very comfortingly to our daughter on a ski lift where she herself had a smaller child. It was seven months after the accident and her first time out.
She told her that she had been through an awful lot and asked many questions to get her to open up about what had occurred. She did open up.

On the trail, Grace and the little girl with her skied with and got her back towards the rhythm of it, despite other skiers whizzing by. They would take a breath and stop. They would look first before heading out. They stayed together.
Seeing that the smaller child, my daughter expressed more confidence to me about happy to be back and she has seemed to come around from that horrific experience...

She has also given so much to other parents who have wrestled with their children's issues from lack of self-motivation, conflicts siblings and with other children and offered specific approaches to use.

Grace uses her knowledge, compassion and consideration to improve the life and positive outlook of a child and help parents at the same time. ”

"My Grandchildren Call Her 'Momma Grace... She's taught them and her own children amazing life skills"

“My grandchildren call her “Momma Grace.” She has taken the four youngest under her wing and given them a real sense of security and self esteem. Grace has taught the children to handle their fears, frustrations, and disagreements without ascribing fault to any of them. They have become quite confident in their abilities. Grace has a special charisma that enables her to see through the obvious. She has excellent listening skills and chooses her words wisely. Grace has taught her own children to be empathetic and to communicate effectively.

Grace has taught all the children ways to control against unpleasant outcomes whenever possible, but sometimes “you get what you get – and you don’t get upset. I am very fortunate to have Grace as a neighbor and a friend."

"I've witnessed first hand the parenting successes Grace has achieved with her own children!"

"As an experienced parent, and the mother of Grace's step daughter, I have witnessed the parenting successes that Grace has achieved with her own children as well as her step-child. Using her unique parenting techniques and theories, Grace has thoughtfully, honestly, and carefully encouraged each of her children's true strengths and interests. Using her nurturing style of discipline and positive reinforcement, she has fostered high self esteem, confidence, and motivation in each of her children."

"To know Grace's children is to know what an exceptional parent she is"

"To know Grace's children is to know what an exceptional parent she is. It is not only her years of parenting experience which have led to her success, but to Grace's ability to delve deeply into one's emotional being. Without judgment, with patience and understanding, she helped me problem-solve stalemates with my son. Her confidence and ability to adapt to one's unique circumstances, has made her the wise confidant more than the preaching teacher. I am especially thankful to her insights and extensive experiences with homeschooling, which has inspired and reinforced my intentions to follow suit. Grace is simply a happy person and she exudes this positive energy all around her. It can be quite contagious"

"Divorced mom of six finds Grace's techniques allowed her to be a success"

"Grace Mauzy has been quite a wonderful parent coach/mentor to me in many ways for a few years now. I am a single, divorced mom of six children with an atypical family. (i.e., due to necessity of time and living requirements, I share the full-time parenting responsibilities with my parents) I used to continually stress about being judged by persons outside of my family. I no longer do so. I know that all of my children ages: 6, 9, 10. 12. 14 and soon to be 16 are happy and healthy due to a combined creative and energetic effort from my immediate and extended family (i.e., great close friends and neighbors). They are all thriving physically, emotionally, intellectually and scholastically even through the occasional major curve balls that life may throw at you. * I also raised two step children that are now grown and on their own. They are both doing well with their independent lives. One is married with a child and the other is in the United States Navy.

I would recommend Graze Mauzy's services as a professional parenting coach and mentor to anyone needing to redirect their energy into a positive direction for the benefit of themselves and their loved ones, especially their children."
