Structured, ongoing consulting built around your family's languages, context and goals — not a one-size-fits-all program.
Maybe your child answers you in English now, even when you speak to them in your language. Maybe your child doesn't speak yet, but you have seen many children around you lose their parent's language over time. Maybe your child spoke your language in the past, then school, sports or everyday exhaustion have crowded it out. Maybe your child does not want to be spoken to in your language. Maybe you're not sure you're doing this “right” — or whether there even is a right way.
All these situations are a variation of normal. That doesn't mean you've failed. And it doesn't mean it's too late. This is exactly where we start.
Multilingual development isn't done and dusted in a single day. It's a system that needs to work in your everyday life, over time. That's why I have developed 3- to 6-month programs: a full diagnostic of your family's language environment, regular 1:1 support, and touchpoints between sessions to keep momentum high as things come up. All of it draws on current research in bilingual and multilingual child development, shaped around your family's specific languages and goals.
For families ready to start building a sustainable system from the ground up. Your touchpoints:
$1,500
upfront, or 3 × $550/month
The complete arc — longitudinal support to build a system that's future-proof, adaptable and resilient. Your touchpoints:
$2,200
upfront, or 6 × $400/month — saves $500 versus Roots + Bloom back to back
For Roots or Canopy graduates. Ongoing support as things evolve — new stages, new challenges, new questions. Your touchpoints:
$1,200
upfront, or 3 × $450/month
Not ready for a 3–6 month commitment? A single Language Seedling session ($280) is something we can talk through on your discovery call.
Programs range from $1,500 to $2,200
with monthly payment plans available on every program. We'll go through what fits your family and your budget on your discovery call. No surprises, no pressure.
“Valerie gave me the confidence to stay with my heritage language instead of unconsciously switching to English. She brought a whole new level of awareness to our family's language journey.”
“Since working with Valerie, Portuguese has become my language with my daughter. If I catch myself speaking English, I'm now able to switch back much more quickly because I understand the benefits of staying consistent.”
“I was worried that a part of my identity, my history and my full self would be lost and that my kids wouldn't get to know the full me. Since working with Valerie, my kids are experiencing a facet of me they hadn't seen before. My 7-year-old son especially is really keen to learn and is relishing in the language. Working with Valerie gave me a very manageable place to start and build from. It took away the overwhelm.”
Almost — I finished my thesis and will be receiving my formal LingFLoWS® certification in October 2026. I'm working with families now, using the same evidence-informed framework, and I'll always be upfront about where I'm at.
