Let me take all of the routine planning, research & curriculum development off your plate and build a homeschool system that actually works in your real life — so you can focus on doing what you love the most: being a calm, present parent.

You've decided. Homeschooling is definitely the path that's right for your family.

But with your busy schedule and all of the logistics of homeschooling multiple children, are you overwhelmed at the thought that you can't give your children the intentional, high-quality education they deserve by yourself?

Mama, you don't have to do it alone. I'm here to help.

There's no doubt in your mind that homeschooling is what's right for your family. As a business owner & entrepreneur yourself, you've recognized from the get-go that public school is only geared to help kids succeed in a regular 9-5 job.

You want more for your kids. You want them to take classes on topics they're actually interested in, learn financial literacy early, have business and leadership skills ingrained in them, and be set up to succeed in whatever they choose — with or without mainstream education.

I understand and relate to why you've decided that homeschooling is the way to go. And good for you, mama — you should feel proud for choosing to do what's right for your family.

But I also know that homeschooling on your own can be a lot. Especially if you have other little ones at home, you and/or your husband are growing a successful company, or homeschooling is simply new for you.

You don't want to send your kid(s) off to a co-op to be taught by someone else. Or sit them in front of a computer to learn from some private online school. You want to be their primary teacher — but you don't have the time for all of the logistical planning, curriculum development, and keeping track of everything.

This is where I come in to help you design a system your child(ren) and entire household can actually follow.

Before You Read Further

Is THRIVE the right fit
for your family?

THRIVE is a private, hands-on experience — not a course, not a co-op, not a curriculum box. Here's a quick gut-check.

THRIVE is for you if…

  • You want to be your child's primary teacher but need someone to build the system behind you
  • You have multiple children and need a rhythm the whole household can follow
  • You're already homeschooling but feel disorganized or overwhelmed
  • You want accountability, structure, and a real human in your corner
  • You value personalized, relationship-based support over generic resources
  • You're a business owner or busy parent who needs things done — not just explained

THRIVE is not for you if…

  • You want someone else to be the primary teacher for your child
  • You're looking for a curriculum subscription or online school
  • You want a one-time consultation with no follow-through
  • You're not open to building new systems or changing how you do things

If you read the left column and felt seen — keep reading. This was built for you.

For the next year,

This is more than curriculum support. This is where your homeschool finally starts working in real life.

What Families Are Saying

50+ families.
5 years. Real results.

"Working with her I was able to focus on my child's progress all while having organization and structure. She helps create a schedule for each individual child and allows me, the parent, to feel more relaxed and confident. I would recommend her to any homeschooling family who wants to stay organized."

Aimee

"It is so much easier for my son to navigate his day and he's actually having more fun learning. He's in charge of his learning process and has a fantastic mentor. My son has told his friends — he feels good about the person he is and about his future."

Shannon

"If it wasn't for Maria, I probably would have never chosen to do this. Maria took the stress away from having to plan how I was going to keep track of everything. Homeschooling is scary but honestly the scariest part is just taking that first step."

Amber

"Maria is thoughtful with every curriculum decision she makes for your child, based on parent feedback and what the future looks like for the child. She helped us think years ahead — not just this school year."

Kristin

Whether you have a child about to turn 6, multiple children at different levels, a high schooler, or you've already started and need a fresh perspective — this is for you. We can start anytime, even mid-year.

How It Works

You choose the level of support
that's right for your family.

THRIVE is not one-size-fits-all. Every family gets the same foundation, customized for them — organized routines with the curriculums you purchased, REASSURED™ tracking, documentation support, and 12 months of direct chat access. What changes is how often we meet in person / virtually.

Extensive Support

Structure with space
to lead independently

For families who want a solid system built, then room to run it themselves

  • 4 quarterly in-home or virtual sessions per year
  • System design with room to lead day-to-day independently
  • Continued chat guidance available throughout the year
  • Best for: families who feel capable once they have a clear plan

This is the pace most families start with.

Not sure which pace fits? Apply and we'll figure it out together.

Common Questions

Things families ask
before they apply.

I'm not sure I need "all of this." Can I just get a little help?

That's the most common thing I hear — and it usually means THRIVE is exactly right. The Extensive Support pace is designed for families who just need a system built and then space to run it themselves. You're not signing up for constant hand-holding. You're building something once that works all year. Most families are surprised by how light it feels once the system is in place.

We've already started homeschooling. Is it too late to join?

Not at all. We can start at any point in the year — beginning, middle, or end. Families who are already homeschooling often make the most progress quickly because they know exactly what isn't working. We build from where you are.

What if I'm not in Southern Maine?

All four sessions are available virtually for families anywhere. Southern Maine families have the option of in-home sessions, but virtual sessions are just as effective — many of my long-term families have worked with me entirely over video call.

How is this different from hiring a tutor or joining a co-op?

A tutor works with your child. I work with you — the parent. THRIVE is about building the system behind your homeschool: the routine, the tracking, the documentation, and the confidence to lead it yourself. A co-op replaces your teaching. This makes your teaching better.

My kids are very different ages. Can this work for a mixed-age household?

Yes — this is actually one of THRIVE's strengths. Mixed-age households are one of the hardest things to manage alone, and building a system that works for multiple children at different levels is exactly what the household system design session is for. The 3–5 children plan was created specifically for this.

What happens after I apply?

Once you submit your application, I'll reach out via Instagram or the contact info you share to have a quick, low-pressure conversation about what your family needs and whether THRIVE is the right fit. If it is, I'll send over the contract, payment link, and everything to get started. If not, I'll point you toward something that might serve you better.
