About Claudette Chenevert
What do you get with over 20 years as a stepmother? A scarlet S? A Golden Globe?
Absolutely not! You get Claudette Chenevert with a warm and inviting smile ready to share her passion for transforming the stepfamily community from one of distrust and frustration to one of respect and belonging.
When Claudette and her husband came together in 1990, they both brought their dreams, hopes and kids to the relationship. It didn’t take long for issues to arise involving the children, the exes, them as a couple, and the whole family. Traditional therapists were not able to help and there were few other resources available.
When Claudette returned to school to study psychology, communication, and family dynamics she began to understand that stepfamilies had a distinct set of needs that were not being addressed by anyone.
With a desire for a better family life of her own, she took this need and found a way to meet it. She continued her schooling, received training and certification as a Master Stepfamily Coach and took her new skills home. It worked!
Starting with herself, she was able to make personal changes that in turn changed their family dynamics for the better. Claudette then took these action steps and created a program to help others enjoy the same benefits that she did.
