I want to express our gratitude for the incredible support we've received from Robin, our RDI consultant. Through Robin’s guidance, we’ve been focusing on co-regulation strategies, which have significantly helped my daughter manage her overwhelming moments at school. She not only provides effective techniques for managing sensory overload but also helps us to better understand my daughter’s needs. Thank you, Robin, for your dedication and expertise. Your support has been invaluable, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you!

Working with Robin through the RDI process has been truly transformative for our family. When we first began, my relationship with our son Luca felt painfully distant. We couldn’t even sit on the same couch together without discomfort. Connection felt fragile and physical closeness seemed out of reach. With Robin’s thoughtful guidance, patience, and deep expertise, my relationship with Luca has evolved in ways we once thought impossible (for the first time in years, I was able to kiss him on the head). Moments like that may seem small, but for our family they represent an enormous shift in trust and connection.

Robin brings extraordinary compassion, insight, and care to her work. She has not only supported Luca’s growth, but empowered us as parents along the way. We are deeply grateful for the role she has played in helping us reconnect with our son. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Robin helped me see my son Caden in a completely new way. Through the RDI program, she gently guided me to understand how Caden experiences the world and how I could meet him where he is instead of expecting him to always meet me where I am. That shift changed everything about how we connect as a family.

Robin’s wisdom, patience, and genuine care made a profound difference in our lives, and I will always be grateful for the role she played in helping us grow together.

Working with Robin has been an incredibly meaningful part of our family’s journey. When we first connected, my daughter was struggling academically, socially, and with confidence after years of being undiagnosed with autism and ADHD. Through Robin’s RDI parent coaching and the support of Open Arms Consulting, we’ve seen remarkable growth in our daughter’s independence, willingness to try new things, and ability to advocate for herself. Robin has also provided me with compassionate support as a parent — listening without judgment, offering practical tools, and helping bridge communication between supports. Her guidance has made a real difference in our lives, and I’m deeply grateful for the care she brings to the families she works with.

Before we found Robin, we were doing our best — but something was missing. My daughter had gone years without answers, and that time had taken a toll: on her confidence, her friendships, her ability to get through the day. We didn't know what she needed because no one had ever told us.

Robin changed that. Through RDI parent coaching, we started to understand our daughter in a way we never had before. Watching her grow into her own confidence, take on new challenges, and build real independence has been one of the most profound experiences of our lives.

But what I didn't expect was how much Robin would show up for me as a parent, too. She listened. She gave me tools I could actually use. And she helped me feel less alone in all of it.

Our family is in a different place than we were when we started — and Robin is a big reason why.

Working with Open Arms has truly been life changing for our family. As parents of a child with ADHD, we often felt overwhelmed and unsure how best to support our child. With Robin we were given guidance, patience, and tools that helped us understand our child in a completely new way.

Robin was incredibly compassionate and supportive, always meeting us where we were and helping us grow as parents. We’ve seen our child develop more confidence, flexibility, and connection with us in ways we once worried might never happen. We are deeply grateful for this journey and the support we received. Thank you Robin.

Working alongside Robin has been one of the most meaningful experiences in my work as a Behaviour Interventionist. From the beginning, she created an environment where I felt genuinely supported and understood. Whenever I felt unsure or overwhelmed, she had a way of helping me slow down, stay grounded, and think through situations with clarity and compassion. Her guidance never felt judgmental, it felt encouraging and empowering.

Through working with her, I learned how powerful empathy and true understanding can be when supporting clients and their families. Robin showed me that meaningful progress doesn’t come from simply trying to change behaviours, but from building trust, emotional safety, and connection. Watching her work helped me realize the importance of being present, patient, and curious about what a client might be experiencing beneath the surface.

This experience shifted the way I approach my work in such a profound way. I now focus much more on creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel seen and understood. I’ve learned to slow down, listen more closely, and approach challenges with empathy rather than urgency.

Working alongside Robin was incredibly inspiring. She leads with so much heart, insight, and respect for the people she supports. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about every individual and family she works with. Any family or organization that has the opportunity to work with her will not only receive thoughtful, relationship-centered support, but someone who truly believes in the potential of the people she serves.

Working with Robin helped me feel more confident and capable in my role supporting clients. Her feedback was always clear, practical, and easy to apply in real situations, which made a huge difference in how I approached my work. She brought so much knowledge and encouragement to every interaction, and her positive, supportive communication made it feel like we were truly working as a team to support the child. She was always kind, uplifting, positive, and left me feeling good about the care I was giving to my kiddos I worked with! I never left a meeting with her feeling overwhelmed or exhausted. With her I gained confidence and new perspectives of my kiddos. Working alongside Robin felt like the ultimate team for my clients! My memory bank is filled of positive memory bank experiences from my interactions with Robin. Even from the other side of the country, it felt like she was next to me the whole time!
