About the founder
Blanca is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the US with a Master’s degree in clinical psychology. She holds an international certification as a Positive Discipline Parent Educator from the Positive Discipline Association, and a Montessori in the Home Certificate from the Prepared Montessorian Institute.
Before starting her clinical psychology journey, she empowered families as a certified early intervention specialist.
As a clinician, she has helped families support the socio-emotional development and mental health of children in various settings through evidence-based approaches. She also has almost a decade of experience as a research professional, coordinating, disseminating, and implementing clinical psychosocial peer-reviewed research within the pediatric psychology field.
As a professional, she finds joy in helping parents understand the science behind respectful strategies that support the socio-emotional of their children, and empower them with skills to apply at home. As a parent, she continues seeking this knowledge and science-based tools to support her own child’s growth. It is her passion to share this work and knowledge with you.
She is originally from Mexico City, now raising a bilingual child (English-Spanish) in the United States while integrating the Montessori philosophy at home. She attended Montessori school as a child and is now passionate about sharing the joy of Montessori Parenting, the strategies to make it part of your home, and the science of what makes it impactful for your growing child.
About Whole Child Home
Inspired by her journey as a certified Early Intervention specialist, research professional, clinician and parent, Blanca launched Whole Child Home as a space to share some of this research and leave you with evidence-based information that you can use to help support your child’s development at home.
“When talking to other parents about developmental research, I often hear ‘whoa, that’s over my head!’”—I want that to change. Research and science are here to advance knowledge that benefits you and your child.”
In addition to its foundation in psychosocial and developmental science, Whole Child Home integrates inspiration from the Montessori philosophy. The Montessori method is based on scientific observation, and now has research to support its principles as ways to enrich many areas of child development—of the whole child. We share Montessori-based knowledge with you, as well as ideas for applying some of it at home.
As her home is bilingual, and bicultural, you will see that inspiration and all blog content also in published in Spanish.
