Dr. Vanessa Lapointe, Parent Educator | Keeping it Real to Help Big People Understand Their Little People - Dr Vanessa Lapointe
Dr Vanessa Lapointe is one of those rare gems as a speaker. She is warm, captivating, intelligent and authentically real and audiences engage deeply with her. As an international speaker she is so respected and valued and people leave her presentations with full hearts and minds. Vanessa is simply outstanding and one of the best speakers I have ever heard over my long career.

Vanessa is one of the most engaging and entertaining parenting speakers I have seen to date. She is able to deliver quality research-based parenting content in a way anyone can understand. She is relatable, humorous and a pleasure to work with, I would highly recommend her.

SEEN The Film · A Parent TV Documentary
SEEN is a groundbreaking feature-length documentary that not only explores the transformative power of personal healing for parents but also delves into the scientifically supported effects of such healing on parenting and its impact on child brain development.
By focusing on the unexplored aspect of parents confronting their own childhood coping mechanisms, "SEEN" is poised to fill a significant gap in current narratives.
Through the unfiltered and authentic narratives of real parents, we reveal the remarkable potential of addressing trauma and attachment styles.
Louis Rossetti, Ph.D. - Behavioral Health Clinic | Counseling & Therapy Services
Those who have heard Dr. Rossetti speak before share the following:
“What I liked about it is that, the one conference attendedearly in my career made a huge impact on me and then another one taken later in my career, solidified my perspectives and also provided some new "nuggets". Dr. Rossetti meets the needs of experienced and novice practitioners.”
“I have had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Rossetti twice (so far) and I have to say that in my 29 years as an Infant Development Consultant/Supervisor, both were the most impactful workshops in my career”
