About me
Where it all began....
Hello, my name is Hilary Floreal. I was born and raised in Kenora, Ontario Canada. I married my best friend Henry in 1998 and we are the proud parents of four beautiful children. We were permanent resident of the United States for 21 years where we lived in Arizona, Minnesota and Washington State and in 2021 we decided to move closer to home. We and now reside in Winnipeg Manitoba, where we are excited to reunite with friends, family!
I have 25 years experience parenting, teaching and coaching children and students with Intense Behaviors. My experience includes supporting parents and teachers with children and students who have been diagnosed or identified as Gifted and Talented, ADHD, Inattentive ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Dyslexia and Eating Disorders
** Let me be clear, supporting families and children with these conditions usually involves a Care Team of professionals, of which I am only one member. Care Teams often include but are not limited to; Doctors, Psychiatrists, Classroom Teachers, Resource Teachers, School Phycologists, Guidance Counselors, Therapists, Nutritionists and Elders. It takes a village to raise a healthy child**
