Escape Burnout
Have you said this before? "I love helping families, it's just all the extra hoops and paperwork I can't stand!" I GET IT. What if we could just do the fun part? AND make more money at the same time. Sounds good, right?
I know what you're thinking
I still have a job; will I have enough time?
Happy Talk classes are IDEAL for the therapist who has a private practice or does part-time teletherapy or EI.
In fact, that's how I've been doing it for the last 6 years! It's a way to boost income without having to expand your caseload.
It can also be a great referral source for your private practice.
You are in the driver's seat! You can use it as a side hustle OR make it your full-time gig.
All content in bite size pieces. You can learn the material for one class in just 30 minutes a day over a week.
OR, you can dive right in and learn as fast as you want! It's all 'on demand' so you can take it at your own pace.
Is there a market for this in my area?
In the 6 years I've been teaching Happy Talk (in two different communities), I have never had to make a case for why a parent should join.
I simply describe the class and they are pumped!
A quick google search of your area will show you that parents are LOOKING for fun and educational opportunities for their littles. YOU can be that!
Not a week goes by that I don't see someone in a Facebook group looking for "mommy & me" classes for their baby.
Am I a strong enough singer? I'm not a musician.
Happy Talk classes are NOT a performance.
In fact, the whole point is for the grownups to feel comfortable joining in and not listening with awe.
Do you need to be able to carry a tune?
Yes.
Do you need to feel confident in leading a group in song?
Yes.
Do you need to be a training singer or musician?
Absolutely not.
Like any new venture, if you haven't led a group before there may be some nerves, but I am here to support you as you develop these skills.
All songs are written to be sweet and simple. Some have familiar tunes, some do not, but all are designed to benefit the babies and not our performance egos. 😎

Hi, I'm Christina
I'm a mom of 2, wife, SLP, and singer.
I've got a degree in music theatre and SLP.
In my 20+ years of working with kids, I've learned what works when it comes to engaging families and empowering them to find the play in the everyday. And making it super fun (and theatrical 😉) while we do it!
I have poured all of that knowledge into my Happy Talk Song and Sign classes.
YOU are an incredible professional with such valuable skills to share, and I want you to be able to do that in a way that serves families but also serves YOU.
I want YOU to feel joy and fulfillment in what you do again.
I'm here to provide you with all the tools you need to embark on this next chapter. Let's bring back the fun and passion together!
