Our founder

Meet Susan Dockerill.

Divorce can be one of life’s most difficult transitions, but with the right support, families can move forward in healthier ways. For more than 30 years, Susan Dockerill has helped parents reduce conflict, strengthen communication, and create more positive outcomes for their children.

Susan’s passion is rooted in her own experience. As a living example of a successful blended family, she has seen firsthand how cooperation between parents and stepparents can benefit children for generations. Today, her family’s story includes three grandmothers sharing in the lives of the same grandchildren, reinforcing her belief that peaceful co-parenting is possible.

As the Founder of Life Works Parenting Tools, Susan created the 101 Co Parenting, 202 Advanced Co Parenting, and 303 Guided Co Parenting programs to help families navigate separation with confidence, compassion, and hope.
