Be Present
The Homeschool/Parenting Coach
Implementing the principles from the…presentation by Mary Ann changed my parenting life 100%. In a short time I went from continual frustration and not knowing where to start (even after reading many parenting books) to creating solutions and having a good foundation for creating more. Mary Ann delivers practical tools that create fast results and a phillosophy that changes the way people look at their children. Liz King Bradley Creator of the MamaMasterminds

Renew Your Love Affair With Parenting December 17 9:00am – 6:00 pm
Mary Ann – You are a master teacher. Your workshop is the perfect blend of philosophy, story, and practical tools. I got so much out of this – I loved the negative thought exercise, the reminder to be present, the help I got creating my chunk clock, and am looking forward to doing the activities you suggested about forgiveness and creating space and stillness. I feel like I have hope to build the kind of relationship I have always wanted with my kids. thank you so much for sharing your gifts and sharing YOU with us – I would recommend this to anyone who wants to truly connect with their children. Kim Flynn – Queen of the MaMa Biz
This workshop was amazing! Learning to renew my love for parenting is going to bless my family in so many ways. It was a rough realization that it comes down to me, but its true; and it is only through truth that happiness and love can exist. Katie S.
My husband and I have been struggling with how to be good parents. We’ve sought a few avenues to assist us. The ideas and tips were great, but I just didn’t find the skills I needed to make a change. My friend recommended this workshop with Mary Ann, and it has been the one of the greatest gifts anyone has given us. Now, I feel like I have some real tools that I can use to effectively build a foundation of trust with our kids. Now, I have a battle plan to fight the negative thoughts that direct how I interact with my family. Now, I am hopeful. Which will make all the difference in meeting our boys needs and building wonderful relationships with them that will last forever. Michelle Walkenhorst

Free Closet Workshop
Dec 10, 2011 West Valley, UT (Salt Lake city) hosted by Stephanie Hunzeker For more information or to register please email Stephanie at stephhunzeker@yahoo.com
Mary Ann, I met you at Stephanie’s house in December when I shared part of my story of my struggles after being attacked working in lockdown. I want to tell you that I had already come a long way. But since then I have let even more go and we have more fun as a family than we ever have. We have turned down our volume, cuddled a lot, spent more time listening and learning and getting messy. Thank you for your story. It provided hope and comfort knowing you also have felt some of my fears. You are an inspiration to many! I am a work in progress,but aren’t we all! Thank You, Tasha M.

The “Not-tiest” Issues of Parenting: How to Overcome Losing Your Temper, Being too Busy for Your Kids, and Just Generally Not Enjoying Parenting!
I spent 40 years with children in my home. I felt swamped much of the time because of four things:
#1 I didn’t have confidence in my ability to parent
#2 I couldn’t find a way to manage time
#3 I didn’t have any strategies for maintaining my calm
#4 The stories in my head let me know I wasn’t going to succeed
Sound familiar to you? Are you ready to feel confident and enjoy parenting more?
I have created a $77 all-day workshop to introduce you to some of a parents not-tiest problems and some strategies for changing them.
My husband and I have known that we wanted our family unity to be better and that it should all start with us, yet we were stuck, turning our wheels and getting depressed for the lack of progress. This workshop helped us pinpoint the basics we need to work on to progress and how to get rid of the bad. We are so excited to implement what we have learned. Janae D.

That’s what you can find with Mary Ann Johnson’s course – “Establishing a Closet”.

I participated in the closet mastery class Thursday this week. I enjoyed the first class, but after yesterday’s…I feel that even if I learn nothing else the next 6 weeks, the ideas I came away with yesterday have already justified the entire class! Mary Cory
