About Pendulum Center & ITS FOUNDER, Miss Brandi
One-on-One Support
She didn’t come from a textbook.
She came from the fire—
Where behavior plans fell flat,
and real-life families were left hanging.
Miss Brandi saw the gap.
So she built the bridge.
At Pendulum Center, we don’t coddle chaos or excuse aggression.
We coach parents to lead,
and help children rise—without labels, loopholes, or low expectations.
Not every child needs a program.
Some need a revolution.

Before becoming a certified life coach, I worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (ABA therapist) with children diagnosed with autism and severe behavioral challenges. While ABA has its place, I found it often fails to resolve extreme behaviors—like hitting, spitting, property destruction, and the deep-rooted need for control.
Parent training is offered in ABA, but rarely prioritized. And that’s the real problem—because parents are the key to lasting change across all settings. I give families the tools and insight to finally restore peace at home.

What is Parent-Child Coaching?
Parent-Child Coaching is a structured, goal-driven service where I work directly with parents (or caregivers) and their child to address serious behavioral challenges, restore peace in the home, and help families move forward.
I work with both autistic and neurotypical children who exhibit aggressive behavior, controlling tendencies, property destruction, and other intense, maladaptive behaviors.
While I apply what was truly useful from my experience in special education classrooms and behavioral health centers, I do not use traditional ABA strategies that simply don’t work for the kinds of extreme behaviors many families are facing. I’ve seen firsthand how outdated or one-size-fits-all approaches fail these kids—and I refuse to repeat what doesn’t work.
This coaching isn’t clinical. It’s real, raw, and relationship-based. I help parents lead with confidence, create structure, and respond in ways that actually shift behavior long-term. If you’re ready to stop walking on eggshells in your own home—I’m here to help.
