    Corina has a natural way of comforting others and helping them recognize their full potential.

    Corina is thoughtful and discerning when navigating family matters and setting healthy boundaries. She is someone people naturally turn to for guidance and advice in these areas.

  • -N.E.

    Corina is highly detail-oriented and notices things others often miss. She has a rare ability to recognize positive traits in people, even when they cannot see them in themselves. Above all, she truly sees people and affirms their inherent worth.

  • - M. S.

    Corina offers thoughtful guidance rooted in justice and practical parenting principles. Her pregnancy advice was especially meaningful and supportive, particularly during the challenges of the first trimester. She is very practical, thoughtful, and intentional; a mother that truly sees the heart.

  • -J. M. 

    Corina makes genuine time for others, especially when they are facing difficult moments. She listens attentively and with care, which is why people feel comfortable turning to her during challenging times. She has a unique gift for consolation, discernment, and guidance. There is much peace and certainty after consulting with her.

  • -C. D.

    Corina's experiences as a mother and caregiver are rich in wisdom. What she has endured through challenging life stages while raising children is sufficient to trust her judgment. Choosing her counsel is highly sought after as there isn't much objective and faith-based content out there. Her rich perspective, grounded in logic and integrity, makes her reliable to work with.​

  • - D. S. 

    From a father's perspective, Corina has a gift for breaking down complex ideas and explaining them in a patient, clear, and charitable way. People choose to ask her questions because of her sound judgment and steady sensibility. She holds firm convictions while remaining calm and thoughtful, never allowing emotions to override clarity or integrity.

  • -J. B.

    From a male and father's perspective, Corina is a very level-headed thinker who genuinely cares to teach at all times. She will find alternative ways to reach people, listen attentively, and seek to understand before seeking to be heard. Her humility and judgment in discernment help her integrity and reliability. She sees things and their long-term effects way deeper than anyone else I know who focuses on more immediate effects. I would highly recommend working with her.

  • -J.M. 

    When people ask Corina questions, she responds honestly and clearly, which immediately builds trust. She gives thoughtful, knowledgeable answers and takes the time to explain things thoroughly. She is patient, willing to rephrase or revisit an explanation when needed, and never makes others feel rushed or dismissed.​Corina is also humble—comfortable admitting when she does not have an answer or when she may be mistaken. She is an attentive listener who genuinely considers others’ concerns, communicates with care, and encourages those around her. Most of all, she shows a sincere interest in what people have to say, which makes others feel seen and valued.

  • -A.R.

    Corina was SO warm, reassuring and professional in the thoughtful questions asked and extensive knowledge shared! She gave me helpful insights in how to tackle grocery store runs + meltdown's, how to handle drawing on walls and furniture and what age-appropriate things to expect. Things like respecting people's property, patience and making up when mistakes are made. When you're in all the weeds it's hard to zoom out and find solutions that actually work that don't guilt trip you or your child and I'm very happy to have so many ideas to implement. It has saved me lots of time and worry. Well worth it!! I look forward to coupling the info from this session with the manner's formation manuals I recently purchased! Thank you, Corina ❤️.

1st Time Parents Reviews💖

How they find it setting them up for success.

  • - Dr. Malaika Sarco-Thomas [UK] Long-awaited Resource!

    1) This is a long-awaited and much-needed resource! Families looking for a practical way to discuss morality and behaviour in the context of Judeo-Christian values need look no further. If you, like me, are ready to celebrate reasoned moral clarity and personal responsibility through positive parenting, rooted in the wisdom of love languages, then this is your perfect guide. ​2) Parents' Manual: I enjoyed your RWMC advice on how to ask for forgiveness from your child this week! It was very heartfelt and worthwhile advice. Thank you.

  • -K.M. [Canada] This Needs to be Distributed to Everyone!

    My friend was reading your "Why Manners Matter" book and told me about it. She brought it to our coffee date and we read the first 2 chapters of your first book and I was blown away at how rich it is. I can't wait to have a hardcover of your book in my hands. Please keep me informed when they are printed. I am going to hand these out to everyone I know.

  • - I. C. [Canada] Great Confidence Boost!

    I really enjoy the content from Raising Well-Mannered Children. It is very well-planned and laid out, making it easy for me to follow and apply the tips to my everyday parenting. I'm always wondering if I'm doing a good enough job as a new mom, and having this course to follow has given me the confidence boost that I am doing a good job. You learn about the chapters every week and don't feel overwhelmed because they are relatable. I highly recommend this course to any parent who wants the best for their children and wants to raise kids with manners.

  • - L. N. [Canada] Awesome Resource!

    This is AWESOME! And just in time for me to get ready for having kids! 

  • - A.G. [Canada] Solving the "Where to Start" Dilemma!

    This book can help parents who might be struggling with “where to start” when it comes to teaching their children about the faith. Manners become the starting point for faith formation of children. Parents also won’t have to worry about knowing all the answers as this book has very detailed definitions and examples.

Parents of Multiples Reviews 💕

How they are finding it transformative and learning things years into parenting!

  • - P. D. [Canada] Loved It!

    The Raising Well-Mannered Children Parents' Manual is extremely well done. It was very thorough and comprehensive and I learned a lot! The program is excellent and worth checking out for first time parents or, like me, a parent of many! I think it's a great idea to give tips to families to help elevate their children and their homes. Good manners go a long way to a more prosperous and happy life and starting young is very prudent!

  • - Mae S. [Canada] Already Helpful for my 2 Sons Under 3!

    Great read! Even with my two sons being under 3 (2 years, and other is 10 months), the advice provided in the book has been extremely useful and fruitful. A few highlighting parts for me were: the teaching moment phrases used, and explanations when responding to childrens' questions; the responses were very intentional!

  • -M. [Canada] Encourages Reflection!

    I really enjoy getting a glimpse into how other families operate; the little tibits strewn throughout Corina's anecdotes are interesting and I usually find myself pondering them long after I am done reading. I believe we should all aspire to have well-mannered children, and I commend Corina for her efforts - especially when she has 3 little ones of her own!

Neurodivergent Children Breakthroughs 💝

How the materials have helped with behavioural issues and created breakthroughs.

  • -T. I.-C. [USA] No Rigidty, Purely Family Oriented and Transformational!

    I’ll be honest—etiquette has largely fallen out of favor in our culture, and it can feel awkward to even think about structured manners for kids these days. That’s why I was so struck by how courageously A Parent’s Manual tackles expectations for children in a direct yet loving way. Instead of vague “be nice” suggestions, this guide offers clear principles and practical examples for family life, including travel and social settings, grounded in time-tested tradition. What stood out to me most is how family-focused this manual is. It doesn’t read like a set of rigid rules; it reads like someone who genuinely wants to help families connect, communicate, and enjoy being together—even amid the chaos of everyday life. The emphasis on relationship and intentionality really comes through, and it feels like a resource built for real homes, not perfection. For our own family, this guide was particularly helpful around meal times. We have a daughter with ADHD who really struggles to sit still, and dinner used to feel like a battleground. The manual’s concepts helped us establish gentle but consistent mealtime expectations so that we could transition from disrupted meals to actually sitting, eating, and connecting as a family. That shift alone made this worth it.  I deeply respect the intentional point of view behind this work. While its roots come from a faith-based perspective, I found the practical value transcends that context and offers guidance that any parent could adapt with grace and thoughtfulness. If you’re looking to bring a little more peace, clarity, and connection into your family’s daily rhythms—especially around travel and shared social experiences—this manual is a grounded, approachable resource worth exploring.

  • -C. [Canada] Their Manners Meant No Social Issues!

    This program works! My child is on the autism spectrum, and this approach was highly beneficial for them. The practical steps taught them the importance of meaningful social interactions. During my child's autism diagnosis test, the specialist advised, "They have too good of manners to count as social issues for autism." I'm thrilled for my child to feel like they can integrate with others and be complimented on their behaviour. I'd recommend this for parents, especially those on the spectrum!

Healing Generational Wounds Reviews 💔

Bringing healing and wholeness in order to let manners take root.

  • -Anonomyus [Spain] Healing Parental Wounds!

    The reflection on "Parental Love" was a much needed section. It was written so beautifully and helped me know how to proceed with my own parents whom I don't have a good relationship with. It taught what example and type of love I should give to them despite their faults. It was a healing section for me. Thank you.

Clergy Reviews ⛪

Impressed with our materials, they are referring to them to their congregants.

  • - Fr. (Rev) C. H. (Catholic Priest) [Canada] Great Resource to Return To Over the Years

    These are very helpful guides with precise formulations and observations. Although raising children or working with them can often feel overwhelming because there are so many factors, the precision of these books are a great aid to a focused approach to improving behaviours. Their comprehensive scope means that they are books that can be returned to repeatedly over the years as formation continues. The 'Parent's Manual' in particular is very comprehensive and approachable.

  • - Fr. (Rev) R.S. (Catholic Priest) [Canada] Next Church Book Study!

    I heard about your books from a fellow priest friend. They talked to me about this resource and read out some sections to me. I was shocked at the precision of this book's moral formation for parents. Hearing all the struggles from parents, this is such a necessary tool in today's day and age. I am going to encourage my congregation to go through these books as their subsequent book study. It will make a significant impact on their lives.

  • - G.W. (Protestant Pastor's Wife) [Canada] Richer Than Anything in Bible College!

    Corina, I have only read the first 2 ½ chapters of your first book so far, and I am blown away. This is, by far, the richest and most helpful tool I've ever encountered as a parent, and I've been a parent for 12 years. I need to put these in the hands of parents I know, and promote this on social media. It is so rich, deep, yet personal, and it gives a real connection that makes it easy to be inspired by. You have one creative gift, and your talent will help so many people transform their homes and communities into peaceful, holy places. It's even deeper than a lot of stuff I studied in Bible college. Please let me know when you start getting author copies. I am probably going to buy 100 of every book you publish and hand them out to all the families I encounter.

Professionals Reviews 🏫

How professionals refer our materials to their customers/families.

  • - Shirley, Doula. [Canada] Recommending it to all clients!

    Raising Well-Mannered Children's Parents' Manual is not just a book or reference materials but a program of resources and parent forums with continual exchange of tips and information.  This is so needed today, Well Done!  I recommend your program to all my new moms and dads.

  • - A.S. [Canada] Helpful Guide to Model Selfless Manners!

    Beginning from the premise that no one can be a good parent without striving to be a virtuous person, the Parents Manual offers a rich perspective on parenting much needed in our culture today. With helpful advice on how to model manners for kids, act selflessly, and live beautifully, this guide will provide inspiration for how to parent well and raise a well-mannered family.

  • - F.K. [USA] Recommending it to my students parents!

    I'm a montessori teacher for early childhood and have two young children myself. The principles you are teaching not just the children but also holding parents accountable is wonderful. I love what you are doing. It ties in very well with the "grace and courtesy" lessons within montessori but expands further. I think suggesting this resource to my students parents would be great as well!

  • - Catholic School Elementary Principal [Canada] This needs to be in our school book fairs!

    As a Catholic School Principal, I came across your books in a barber shop while I waited as reading material. Your books are so well done that they make Biblical Church teaching seem relatable and possible to accomplish. This is going to make such a huge impact on the families in my school who keep asking for resources. I need to bring these to our book fairs and make them available to all the parents in the school. This is going to transform families and rebuild the Church.
