Testimonials

“If there is one person I know who can solve the toughest of family problems, it is Catherine Pearlman as The Family Coach. She is the best investment you can make as a parent.” —Dr. Shefali Tsabary, Psychotherapist and Author of The Conscious Parent

“I invited Catherine to come speak at my FIT4MOM Stroller Strides class because I knew she could help our moms who were dealing with sleep training, potty training, toddler discipline, and picky eaters to just name a few. That first session was the beginning of an incredible journey for me and my moms in class. They now had a resource to consult when faced with these sticky milestone problems that no one teaches you how to handle as you fumble through child rearing. When Catherine speaks, you should listen because her advice is priceless!” –Kristen Riolo, Master Trainer, Fit4Mom

“Your presentation and information was incredible. There has been lots of chatter on the group about your talk and book. In fact, several guys have already been trying the techniques you taught us and are having great success. Your message was very impactful. We are incredibly grateful that you took the time to talk with us and share your expertise.” –Josh Bellish, President of National At-Home Dad Network

“Dr. Pearlman has the uncanny ability to pull from her personal and professional experiences to offer helpful, supportive advice regardless of the issue. She has an immensely calming presence, is incredibly wise and always looks at the positive side of the situation. I find it difficult not to go to her for advice.” — Jill Murray, LCSW, Director of Behavior Health, Veterans Health Administration

“I really enjoyed your last seminar. I found the information very useful and a fresh take on a lot of parenting advice I’ve heard before. I particularly found your advice about the power of praise and letting go of being bothered by your child’s little habits especially useful. We are putting your advice into practice at home and things are generally going well.” — Parent Attendee at Presentation
