Myrna Lapres has been a teacher and educator for over 25 years, but her passion is working with individuals, parents and families to strengthen their connection and find better ways of relating and communicating. As Certified Family & Relationship Coach, Educator and Presenter, she says “I give individuals, parents and families tools and support to discover the love and abilities that lie within. I believe that being a parent and a grandparent allows us to re-parent ourselves as we grow in our ability to give and receive genuine, unconditional love.” She self-published a book on Amazon at the end of 2021 entitled “7 Gifts to Give Your Child: Parenting That Will Touch Their Future.”

A trained Safe Conversations facilitator and a certified Relationship and Family Coach, she leads in person and zoom workshops that support individuals, couples, families, businesses, and organizations to learn how to talk without criticism, listen without judgment, and connect beyond differences. Based on current research, Ms. Lapres is passionate about teaching Safe Conversations and other relationship skills that promote connection, understanding, respect and joy. She and her husband have three sons, three daughter-in-laws and two grandchildren.
