🤗 MEET COACH DENISE! 🙌🏾

Official title: Strengthening Families Coach
Unofficial title: Coach Most Likely to Make You Feel Like Family

You can call her Coach Denise, Ms. Nece, or MeMe—but whatever you call her, you can count on her to make you feel welcome!

Coach Denise is a Christian, a mother of two, a grandmother of four, and a lady who wears many titles—including encourager, helper, supporter, and listener.

One of her greatest gifts is helping children feel comfortable enough to trust her and open up. She meets them where they are, listens to what they have to say, and encourages them to see the good in themselves.

A few things to know about Coach Denise:

🤗 She gives hugs—but if hugs aren’t your thing, a high five works too! 🖐️

💛 She wants everyone to stay positive, believe in themselves, and work toward becoming their best self.

Coach Denise has the kind of warmth that helps children relax, caregivers feel supported, and everyone feel a little more like family.

Now it’s your turn: Are you choosing a 🤗 , a 🖐️ , or both? Tell us in the comments! Or come meet Coach Denise and the rest of our team. Send us a message and we will welcome you in.

🏆 MEET COACH TYLER! 🖊️

Official title: Strengthening Families Coach
Unofficial title: Coach Most Likely to Bring the Pretty Pen—and Play to Win

Coach Tyler brings a calm, steady presence to the coaching team—but please do not mistake calm for noncompetitive. When it comes to game night, her philosophy is simple: there’s only one winner. 😂

Her favorite part of working with families is seeing and hearing the changes that happen along the way. By Week 6, families are communicating differently, trying new things, and beginning to recognize their own progress—and Coach Tyler loves having a front-row seat for it.

A few fun facts about Coach Tyler:

🖊️ Given the choice to plan the family activity, cook the meal, or clean up afterward, she is planning it—in a nice journal with a pretty pen, of course.

🤷🏿‍♀️ Her most-used emoji could be either 🤷🏿‍♀️ or 🤦🏿‍♀️, depending on what’s happening around her.

😂 Dad jokes work on her every single time. Keep them coming!

🏆 And once again, she would like everyone to understand: there is only one winner.

Coach Tyler’s calm demeanor helps families feel comfortable while her sense of humor keeps things fun. She pays attention to the small changes, celebrates the big wins. And Strengthening your Family is definitely a big win!

Now it’s your turn: Are you Team “We’re All Winners” or Team “There’s Only One Winner”? Tell us in the comments! Or better yet, come join Coach Tyler and the rest of our team. Send us a message, and we will welcome you in!

🌟 MEET COACH BRANDY! 🌟

Official title: Strengthening Families Coach
Unofficial title: Chief Hidden Talent Finder

Coach Brandy brings compassion, creativity, and a special gift for noticing what other people do well—sometimes before they recognize it themselves.

She wants every family to feel welcomed and completely at home when they walk through our doors. Come in, get comfortable, and bring your real real family.

Coach Brandy says parenting—and kids—do not come with instruction manuals, but the Strengthening Families Program may be the closest thing families can get.

A few fun facts about Coach Brandy:

🎵 “UP” by Forrest Frank instantly improves her mood.

🍓 She will not turn down chocolate-covered strawberries, Raisinets, or, honestly, just about anything covered in chocolate.

🌟 Her hidden talent is finding everyone else’s hidden talents. Be careful—she may have you believing you can do something you never knew you could!

Coach Brandy’s combination of compassion and creativity helps families feel seen, encouraged, and excited to participate. She creates room for everyone to contribute—and she will find something worth celebrating in every person in every family along the way.

Now it’s your turn: What hidden talent does someone in your family have? Give them a little shout-out in the comments! Or better yet, come join Coach Brandy and the rest of our team. Send us a message, and we will welcome you in!

💃 MEET COACH NIKKI! 💃

Official title: Program Director
Unofficial title: Coach Most Likely to Start a Dance Break

Coach Nikki is a proud mom of two “baby adults,” a community builder, a problem solver, and someone who believes families deserve more than another place they have to be.

She wants families to run—not walk—through our doors because they genuinely look forward to the community, the laughter, and the practical conversations that can make family life better.

Her favorite part of working with families is watching connections happen: parents and their little people connecting with one another, families realizing other families go through the same stuff, and new friendships forming in the kids' and the parents' room!

A few fun facts about Coach Nikki:

🎵 Her feel-good song is “Oh Happy Day!”

🍒 Her snack of choice is dried tart cherries (but gah! 💰💰💰).

💃 If the music starts playing, there is a very good chance she started it—and an even better chance she's going to start dancing. Go ahead... join her. She wants you to.

Coach Nikki works hard to create a safe, comfortable environment where families can be honest, learn together, laugh together, and leave each week with something practical they can use at home.

Now it’s your turn: What song would get your whole family up for a dance break? Tell us in the comments! 🎶 Or better yet, come and join us. Send us a message, and we will welcome you in!
