Kristina Heagh-Avritt

Parent Mentor, Podcast Host and Speaker

: Kristina Heagh-Avritt is the founder of Vibrant Family Education and co-host of the Bringing Education Home podcast. With over 30 years of experience in teaching, mentoring, and family development, she helps parents create joyful, values-based learning environments where children thrive in mind, heart, and spirit.

After nearly three decades in traditional classrooms, Kristina witnessed firsthand how overcrowding, rigid policies, and “teach-to-the-test” mandates limited students’ potential. Her turning point came during the pandemic, when she realized her greatest impact came not from teaching students—but from coaching parents to lead their children’s learning with confidence and creativity.

Today, Kristina empowers families to reimagine education at home—blending real-life experiences, hands-on learning, and modern tools with timeless values like compassion, integrity, and curiosity. Her approach honors each child’s unique learning style and helps parents cultivate deeper connection, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning.
