Certified EC and Potty Training Consultant
Let’s talk about Poop 💩
As a gentle parent, I wanted to find the kindest way to transition my kids out of diapers. Based on the non-coercive Go Diaper Free method, I support parents in teaching their children good toilet hygiene, whether that be from as young as birth, or for older kids who need to unlearn diapers and relearn their bodies’ signals from scratch.

I potty trained my toddler after starting EC with my second baby
[…] When my second baby came along, we started EC almost immediately […] And then for a brief month or so, my baby was using the potty more reliably and with more frequency than my then-3.5-year-old. […]
My baby won’t poop when I’m angry or upset!
[…] Our babies’ tender nervous systems are evolved to downregulate with us. This is called coregulation. That means, if we’re stressed in our bodies, our babies might not be able to pee or poop. It sounds crazy, but our babies’ anus and urethra need their bodies to feel safe and calm in order to release in a gentle way. […]

Information Sessions and Workshops
I am no longer offering Public Info Sessions and Workshops live. I have decided to pivot these offerings to a set of online courses that will offer more flexibility to parents. Please bear with me while I get this up and running ;)
In the interim, I am offering my signature workshop “Gentle, Non-Coercive Potty Training for Toddlers“ privately, in addition to my general consultations listed below. Many of my clients love this option because I can take them through the entire procedure from A-Z, with a focus on tailoring it to their family and their child’s unique needs. This is a 3-4 hour workshop, and I often break it into two 1.5-hr sessions for convenience.
Private consultations
For private consults via Zoom, please fill out this form. This way, when we meet, we can use your time effectively.
Private consults are billed in 30-minute increments @ $50. I will provide you a link to book and pay online ahead of time.
As of 60 minutes, I include one week’s worth of (reasonable) online follow-up at your convenience - usually the first week you begin :)
Testimonials
“I am so grateful for all the support I got from Lisa Dee. She helped my almost 5 year old overcome her phobia of pooping in the toilet. We’ve been struggling with this issue for almost 2 years, saw a couple of psychologists and had no success. When I found Dee, she guided me, supported me in a very gentle and kind way. My daughter overcame her fear, and the stress that came with it is gone now! And it was very quick too. Thank you for being so present, available and supportive!!!! If anyone is struggling with potty training, I hope they are lucky enough to come across Dee!”
“I think we did the whole first part today! Thank you so much for all of your help I really couldn’t have done this successfully today without the course. We’ll see what the night has in store for us but I think I’ve been totally obsessed with the logistics part of this but that actually wasn’t a big deal it was mostly emotional work and helping her through a lot of anxiety but tonight she’s gone a few times without even notifying me.”
