Developing Parenting Efficacy. Fostering Caregiver Wellness. Building Your Parenting Tribe.

Parenting is the best, hardest job you'll ever have. At Empowered, we leverage a retreat and workshop model to provide families with the support, knowledge, and tools they need to strengthen their parenting skills. Through this journey, we help caregivers build a community of support, while also prioritizing self-care—because when caregivers are emotionally well, they are better equipped to support their children.

Our retreats and workshops are designed with specialized focus areas, allowing you to choose the training that best fits your needs. Every workshop incorporates self-care practices, reinforcing our belief that caregivers who develop strong social-emotional skills are better able to nurture these same skills in their children.

 At Empowered, we support ALL families and embrace thinking outside the box—it’s why we started this company!
Our diverse backgrounds allow us to specialize in guiding parents and caregivers of children with unique learning needs, including those with significantly diverse abilities. We support families through every phase of development, equipping them with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to navigate complex systems of support.

By fostering inclusive practices, we help individuals achieve their goals while promoting growth and acceptance. Recognizing the critical transition into adulthood, we partner with employers to advocate for inclusive workplaces, ensuring support extends beyond age 22 and into meaningful, sustainable employment opportunities.  Our mission is to expand cultures of acceptance and inclusion while addressing the employability gap for neurodivergent individuals. 

With decades of experience working with neurodivergent individuals, our team is dedicated to empowering families, educators, and community stakeholders with actionable strategies rooted in expertise and passion.

We invite you to explore our team’s backgrounds and expertise.  Additionally, feel free to print our resource, "Questions to Consider When Choosing a Provider," to help guide your decision-making when selecting professionals to support your family. 

 At Empowered, we support adults, so they can better support the children in their care. Every retreat and workshop—whether in-person or virtual—integrates self-care education, practice, and play. For those seeking adventure, we also offer exciting, high-energy experiences!

We believe in the power of a positive feedback loop: When caregivers prioritize their own well-being, they are better equipped to model, teach, and promote healthy habits for the children they nurture.

At Empowered, our workshops and retreats are activity-based (adult for play!) or adventure-driven—because we believe that movement, exploration, and time in nature nurture the mind, body, and spirit.

Trying new things, stepping outside our comfort zones, and facing challenges together fosters trust, connection, and shared success. This, in turn, encourages emotional risk-taking, allowing us to open up, share, and grow—not just as individuals, but as a collective tribe.

Great educators use this same approach with students—what they call multi-sensory or kinesthetic learning. Pairing activity with skill-building helps reinforce concepts, makes difficult conversations feel less intimidating, builds self-confidence, and reduces stress. The benefits aren’t just for kids—active learning is a game-changer for adults too!
