Jeanne-Marie Paynel, M.Ed is a parenting mentor, Montessori home and school consultant, and a Birth Doula who supports parents in confidently raising the next generation of good-hearted humans.
She’s the host of The Art of Parenting podcast and founder of Your Parenting Mentor, where she guides expectant parents, caregivers, and parents of young children to prepare their homes and themselves for their children to thrive during the first crucial years of life.
She believes a supportive and peaceful home atmosphere will allow every child to flourish as an independent, confident, and capable learner. She combines her many passions to serve her community: Montessori, RIE, Conscious Parenting, Positive Discipline, and Mindfulness. Her mission is to help parents appreciate the true importance of their role - not as servants or teachers, but as supporters and guides of their children's natural development.
