Hi, I'm Juana — your Early Childhood Parenting Coach
I’m a pediatric Occupational Therapist with over 20 years of experience helping new moms feel confident and supported as they guide their baby’s development.
I created Rookie Parent Roadmap because parents deserve simple, clear steps — not confusing advice or endless Google rabbit holes. My approach helps you understand your baby’s milestones in a gentle, mom-friendly way so nothing important is missed.
You’re not alone in wanting to feel sure about what your baby needs. With the right support, you can feel calm, confident, and connected every day.

What Other Moms Are Saying
“Thank you for teaching us so many ways to help our son. We are so grateful for your guidance.”
— Kyla, mom of Daniel
Juana, This letter is in thanks to all you have done for and given to our family over the past 3 years. I said long ago that I felt like you were a true fairy godmother to Tommy and I am fully confident he did not walk the road to Autism like his big brother Teddy due to your care and early intervention. I am also so thankful you agreed to give your insight to Tim when we couldn't figure out why he was so sick this past year. In no small thanks to you, I have faith both my boys will continue to bloom and blossom with time. Please know that you are regarded as a special part of our world and in that light, anyone would be lucky to have you on the case - especially the children.
Dear Juana, We want to let you know how grateful we are to have you as our coach for our son Daniel. Thank-you so much for teaching us so many ways to help him. We don't need the bottles anymore. How wonderful. So sad we won't be working together anymore. But we are happy we had you with us. Really appreciate all your hard work.
To Juana, We want to take this opportunity to say thank-you for helping Paul. Merry Christmas. Peace and Love, Sunny, Leon, Paul and Bethany

Vision for Empowerment
Before I started working with this company, I felt stuck and overwhelmed in both my career and personal life. The guidance and support I received were truly life-changing. This helped me set clear goals and reframe my mindset.

I've always been a skeptic about coaching, but my experience with this company has been nothing short of extraordinary. The sessions allowed me to explore my inner self and confront deep-seated fears.
