Homeschooling with Heart

 Mentorship for Parents Who Lead with their Heart

You don't need to be an expert to homeschool—you just need the right kind of support.

I'm Ali, a homeschool mentor with a background in Montessori education, outdoor learning, and over a decade of guiding children through art, nature, and individualized learning. I hold a degree in Fine Arts and I am the founder and director of Kitsap Life Academy.

But my deepest passion lies in supporting you—the parent—on this path.

I love researching and have spent countless hours learning about parenting, education models, child development and homeschooling so I can bring all the information to you!

Whether you're overwhelmed by curriculum choices, struggling to find a rhythm, or wondering if you're "doing enough," I offer mentorship that centers your child’s development and your own inner work as their guide.

My approach is rooted in:

  • Montessori principles adapted for home life

  • Outdoor connection and seasonal learning rhythms

  • Compassionate communication

  • Whole-child development honoring the individual learner

  • Self-preparation for parents—because your nervous system is the curriculum, too.

Common Topics I Support:

  • Creating a developmentally appropriate homeschool rhythm

  • Understanding what learning really looks like at different ages and for different learning styles

  • Montessori-inspired learning at home

  • Deschooling and trusting the natural learning process

  • Compassionate communication with your child

  • Setting up a home environment that supports focus and joy

  • Integrating nature, art, and life skills into your learning flow

  • Supporting the sensitive and/or spirited child

  • Doing your own inner work to show up calm and confident

You’re not alone. You’re not behind. You’re exactly where you need to be.
Let’s build a homeschool that works for your family—one step, one season, one deep breath at a time.
