Discover Your Path to a Simple Happy Homeschool

You’ve decided to bring a holistic approach to your homeschool. You’re a dedicated and loving parent ~ ready to grow, connect, and show up for your family. 

At the same time, you might feel uncertain about how to bring it all together...

I know I sure did! I even felt overwhelmed much of the time. 

I look forward to being your guide to help you gain the confidence you need to transform your homeschooling journey,

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

“Am I doing it right?” Or, “Am I doing enough?” Or even, “Am I capable of doing this at all?” 

It’s not just you. In the hundreds of conversations I’ve had with homeschooling parents, every one of them wonders these things.

And to top it off, they feel a bit lonely, too.

Perhaps you’ve tried different curricula and they just fell flat. Or, you’ve pulled your child out of school and wonder, “Now what?” 

Maybe you’ve even been struggling to bring the lessons alive in your home for a few years. 

You know what you want: to bring a sense of inspiration and connection to your family. You want to experience nature, the arts, and joy on the homeschooling path!

You thought the answer was figuring out which curriculum to buy... 

But now you’ve bought the curriculum and resources, the art supplies and books. And they haven’t given you exactly what you need. They haven’t resolved your issues. 

You still have so many questions!



I'm here to help you make homeschooling work for your unique family. So you can find your own inspiration and joy.

With a monthly focus, a library of Masterclasses, and weekly group Coaching Calls, you’ll get the support you need to bring your children a beautiful homeschooling experience month after month. 

Plus, a private Facebook group for questions and conversations with other homeschooling parents on the journey.

We help you toggle between planning meaningful activities for your children and doing the lessons. With lots of laughter, honesty, and practical strategy.

Because the magical missing piece is support for the doing. 

You can't buy this in a curriculum. 

Let homeschooling be uncomplicated and easier to implement!

But Don't Just Take My Word for It!

See what others are saying...

Hey There, Homeschooler...

Hi, I'm Jean, experienced homeschool educator and homeschooling mentor. I started homeschooling our three kids back in the 1990s - yup, awhile ago! Now they're all grown up. 💜

I have a Master of Arts in Teaching and have taught in public and private schools. I experimented with various educational methods and settings, but when I discovered Waldorf education -- that was it for me.

And when I brought it home to my own children, it was the most magical (and challenging) time of my life!

During the last 17 years, I've helped hundreds of parents find their way to thriving in homeschooling, no matter what approach they use. It's been such a joy.

In 2013, I founded Art of Homeschooling (previously Waldorf-Inspired Learning) where I offer online courses, coaching, planning tools, an online membership community, and in-person retreats for Waldorf-inspired homeschoolers.

I live in northeastern Ohio with my husband where I love to hike, sing, read, and cook!

I feel incredibly honored to support so many families in homeschooling, parenting, and forging connections with our children.

What we unite under in Inspired at Home is considering the whole child when we teach them ~ their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. A nourishing, holistic approach to teaching and learning.
