Where Science Meets
Parenting

Most families are never taught how development, behavior, and emotions actually work together. At Ellegis, we bridge that gap, translating developmental science into clear, actionable guidance families can use every day.

Dr. Giselle founded Ellegis to make developmentally grounded, evidence-based guidance more accessible to families — before patterns become entrenched and stress escalates. Through her coaching, she helps families think more clearly, respond more thoughtfully, and build homes where children can thrive. Her work spans early childhood intervention, school-based consultation, and national research with organizations such as Pearson, Sesame Workshop, and WestEd.

Full Bio & Credentials

What confident family
leadership looks like

01
Calm

Regulation starts with the adult in the room. We help you develop the tools to stay grounded, so you can respond thoughtfully instead of reacting.

02
Consistent

Children thrive with predictable, reliable responses. We help you build routines and boundaries that hold under pressure.

03
Developmentally Informed

Understanding what's actually driving the behavior changes everything. Science-backed insight, practical application.

04
Clear

Vague strategies don't stick. Every coaching engagement ends with concrete, implementable next steps you can use this week.

05
Self-Regulated

We help you break reactive cycles so you can lead your family with intention, showing up as the steady, grounded presence your children need.

Frequently asked
questions

No. Ellegis Parent Coaching is not therapy and does not provide mental health treatment or diagnosis. We offer a structured coaching service grounded in child development and school psychology, focused on practical strategies, building structure at home, and helping families move forward with greater intention. If you or your child are experiencing mental health concerns that require clinical intervention, we encourage you to seek support from a licensed mental health provider.
Books offer general information. Friends offer empathy. At Ellegis, we offer both the science behind what's happening in your home and a personalized plan for what to do about it. Every session is built around your specific family, not a generic framework.
Not at all. Some families come to us navigating a specific challenge. Others simply want to think something through with a developmental expert — to feel more grounded, or to make sure they're on the right track. Both are exactly what we're here for.
Absolutely. We work with anyone in a caregiving role — parents, grandparents, guardians, aunts and uncles, and family members navigating new or changing roles. Whether you're raising a grandchild, adjusting to an empty nest, or figuring out how to show up for your adult children and their families, there's a place for you here.
If something specific feels hard — a behavior, a pattern, a situation you're unsure how to handle — the Ellegis Navigate Session™ is the right fit. If things are generally okay but you want a sounding board or a developmental check-in, the Ellegis Compass Session™ is for you.
All sessions are held virtually via video call. After booking, you'll receive a confirmation with your link and a brief intake form so we can come prepared and make the most of your time together.
Our work is led by a doctoral-level school psychologist with over 15 years of experience working directly with children, families, and school systems. Our coaching draws on the same developmental science used by researchers and practitioners at the national level, translated into guidance you can actually use.
Single sessions are a great starting point. If you find you want deeper, sustained support, we offer two 6-session programs — the Ellegis Blueprint Program™ and the Ellegis Cultivate Program™ — designed for families ready to commit to meaningful, lasting change.
