Welcome
Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Tari Niemeyer and I have been in the field of education for over 20 years. In 2014, I began a consulting business, NEST, LLC, because I wanted to nurture education through service & training. I am a Nurtured Heart Approach® (NHA) Advanced Trainer and have a passion to share this methodology throughout all of my work. I enjoy partnering with early care & education providers, schools, county and statewide organizations, and parents through program support, coaching, and professional development. Please take a look around and let me know if you have any questions or would like to visit about ways we might be able to partner.
Thank you,
Tari

Nurtured Heart Approach®
Tari is a Nurtured Heart Approach® Advanced Trainer and has a passion to share this information. Using the approach, she is able to guide others in building positive, healthy relationships while celebrating intensity, recognizing when things are going right and help others to ignite greatness and build Inner Wealth™. Below is a brief overview, additional resources, and ways that Tari can assist you on your journey with the Nurtured Heart Approach®:
The Nurtured Heart Approach® consists of a set of strategies that assists children in further developing their self-regulation and has been found effective with children of all ages. It focuses on transforming the way children perceive themselves, their caregivers and the world around them. Children learn to understand that they will receive endless amounts of praise, energy, recognition and reward through the positive behavior they display and this supports children to build a positive portfolio of themselves, which we call “Inner Wealth™.”
