Mary Van Geffen

The quick stats: I’m a certified Simplicity Parenting Counselor®, a certified Professional Co-Active Coach®, and have my Masters from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Business.

Now for the really honest stuff: I’m a Highly Sensitive Person with diagnosed ADHD who has attended many Adult Children of Alcoholics meetings.

My greatest achievement is cultivating a calm, kind, and connected relationship with my spirited go-getter daughter, sporty, introverted son, and un-Enneagrammable hubby.
