for highly sensitive families and adults

I’m Melissa Schwartz and I’ve privately coached thousands of families and HSPs on 6 continents. I’m the co-founder of Leading Edge Parenting and co-author of “Authentic Parenting Power” and “Rico the Race Car: Rico’s Bumpy Week“.

I work directly with parents and their children (starting around age 7) to teach emotional regulation, walk you through creating loving boundaries and effective consequences and bringing calm and peace to your home.

I also work with deeply feeling adults and have taught over 250,000 highly sensitive, empathic adults as 3 time host of The Shift Network’s “Empaths, Sensitives and Intutives Summit”.

It is my deepest joy to help you see sensitivity as a strength so you can confidently and unabashedly live the life of your dreams.

KD, Southern California

“Melissa, I will always be grateful for the way you helped me understand my wonderful, sensitive son. I had a personal awakening.”

WB, New York

“Melissa, thank you SO much!! My daughter and I are doing much better. I am much more aware and understanding of her sensitivity, and have learned to “let go” and trust she makes choices and reacts the way she does for her own survival. After our conversations, I have come to terms more with the fact that what I see with her is merely a sketch of the full portrait of what is to come and to just trust it will be fantastic. My perspective has been changing, and that is the best anyone could ask for. To be open minded and free of anxiety to let her grow to her full potential. Thank you for giving me the confidence to understand that!"
