I care a lot about the personal safety and spiritual liberation of families. 

I got my start over 20 years ago working as a domestic violence advocate and family support worker using the Parents As Teachers and Nurturing Parents curriculum. I hold additional Parenting Education training with the A.J. Novick Group. I also taught academically but returned to working more closely with children + families during the world-wide pandemic. Many of my former students lovingly call me “Ms. Ford,” my prior married name.

I hold a Masters Degree in Education and am pursuing Doctoral studies in Community Care & Counseling – Traumatology.

Creativity and attunement continue to be my muse as I’ve designed and implemented several children and family focused services/resources over the last six years which include: respite childcare program, supervised visitation (w/family court involved parents), children and family books (one being featured at Livingston Elementary School in New Brunswick, NJ — two years in a row), and Naomi’s Girls (cottage food establishment + youth cooking classes).

I’ve been an active communicator (speaker/ordained preacher/facilitator/writer) in the areas of women’s issues, Christian discipleship, resilience-building, female rights, and interpersonal violence prevention for over 15 years. I believe that the Lord is truly the God of “another chance” and am a living witness of this in more ways than one.

I’m so glad you stopped by!

With kindness,
