Relate & Regulate

Child and Family Support and Coaching

Makala Gentry, M.A., B.S.

Purpose

Children are increasingly faced with circumstances that require more than just basic problem solving skills. Through partnership and support from their family, I believe that it is critical to listen and relate to children; understand the real and perceived realities of what they are experiencing, and to work closely with them to help share a healthy and regulated response.


I believe children and their families deserve to be seen, heard and feel a sense of belonging and I am committed to empowering each individual to see their full potential, learn to advocate for themselves, and gain the tools necessary to feel and be successful.

About Me

I am so glad you are here!

I am passionate about supporting children and their families in social and emotional regulation in order to gain the tools and strategies necessary to be successful in adventures and experiences they may face.


My experience includes 7 years of elementary classroom teaching where I was a passionate and collaborative educator with experience in developing and delivering curricula across various age groups and socioeconomic demographics via virtual and classroom environments.


I am an experienced elementary school educator and social emotional learning specialist. I am skilled in working with children on self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision making, relationship, and social awareness skills as well as help them gain the tools and strategies necessary to navigate their world and be successful in and out of the classroom.


My pride and joy is my 3 year-old golden doodle, Nala.
