274: Twelve Minute Convos w/ Michelle Swaney

Michelle is the founder of The Potty School (www.thepottyschool.com), teaching parents Potty Training and how to practice Elimination Communication (0-18 months) with their Babies + Toddlers + Kids, and is located in Orange County, California.

Michelle enjoys spending her days with her three children (ages 4, 2 1/2, and 6 months), and has successfully either Potty Trained or used Elimination Communication with all three of them. Having first learned about EC while living in Nicaragua 16 years ago, Michelle has since made it her profession to teach “Elimination Communication" (0-18 months) and "Gentle Potty Training” (18+ months) by becoming going through a certification program, by working with a variety of young children as a host mom for a pre-foster care program, by serving families in-person, online and via phone through The Potty School, and most importantly by through teaching her own children.

Michelle doesn’t do her job because she loves poop and pee, but she does it because she loves being able to help parents learn to communicate with their children from a young age and loves to reduce children’s dependence upon diapers. Curtailing diaper use early has saved her clients an average of $50 per month, while simultaneously reducing their eco-footprint—two great reasons to smile!

The Potty School is your go-to when it comes to learning how to mind your child’s “pees” and “poos”!
