You’ve been building your family relationships from day one. You started investing in your relationship with your partner even before you started out in life together. When you brought your baby home from the hospital for the first time, you were already bonding and trying to figure each other out.

We want to help you make the most of your family life!

So why do we care so much about your family? I, Rob, have a busy paediatrics practice focused on mental health, behaviour and school problems. With my finger on the pulse of the problems parents are dealing with, I see the issues you may be facing yourself, or may face in the future. I want to bring you access to high quality parenting advice from experts who have years of clinical experience or have done the research.

I, Toni, practiced divorce law and am working as a family law mediator. After walking with hundreds of clients facing divorce, I’m motivated to help you develop stronger bonds with your partner, or to move out of unhappiness if that’s where you’ve ended up. I had some clients who signed off on their divorce, and then said, “If I’d known then what I know now, I would have tried harder to save my marriage.” That doesn’t work for everyone, but let me ask you – is your relationship reaching its potential? I want you to hear practical advice from the experts to keep your relationship strong.

Here’s what we’ve learned from working with so many families – you need someone you can trust in your corner. We want to bring you the kinds of resources we would rely on in our own lives and for our own families.

We’re here to help you love being home!

Level-up Your Parenting

Wouldn’t you have loved to have an owner’s manual with each of your kids?

While can’t be at your side when you walk out of the hospital with your first baby, we can be there with the advice you need along the way.

One of our main goals is to bring you sound parenting advice to boost your parenting to the next level. You already know that parenting is a journey with its ups and downs, but having great advice on hand can make a big difference. If you have a parenting challenge on your hands, reach out and let us know. We want to help you win in your role as a parent, including enjoying your kids along the way!

Build Family Relationships That Last

You want your family to enjoy strong connections and lasting relationships.

Not to get ahead, or to prove a point, but because you want your home to be an emotionally safe place for everyone. You want your home to feel like a refuge from the world.

Wouldn’t it be great if your children want to hang out with you when they’re adults?

Even if home isn’t quite what you want it to be now, it’s never too late to start.

On the Smart Family Podcast, you’ll find episode after episode that will inspire you and show you how to fight for your relationships that matter.

Cut Through The Noise

We get it – it’s hard to figure out what parenting, marriage or relationship advice to follow because there’s so much out there. When you type “parenting books” into Amazon, you get thousands of hits. How do you single out the approaches and research findings that will actually make a difference?

We’re here to help!

On the Smart Family Podcast, we will cut through the noise to bring you the practical messages you can apply and we’ll also help you benefit from the latest research.

Love Being Home

We want you to walk through the door at home, take a deep breath and know this is right where you want to be.
