Lantern & Thistle Practice
Calm, right-sized operational support for advocates and attorneys serving children and neurodivergent families — from someone who already knows this world.
About
Lantern & Thistle Practice was built specifically for special education advocates, attorneys, and small practices doing meaningful work for children and neurodivergent families. Not as an outsider looking in, but as a daughter, a sister, a mother, and a person with disabilities herself.
I spent nearly a decade running the backend of a COPAA-member advocacy practice, managing document libraries, communication systems, operating procedures, and technology research. I know the weight of this work. I also know what happens to a practice when the backend isn't holding.
Lantern & Thistle Practice exists to carry that weight so you can focus on your families.
Services
Every engagement begins with an Operations Assessment so we understand exactly what your practice needs before anything changes. The assessment fee is credited in full toward any project or retainer that follows.
A thorough audit of how your practice currently runs — systems, workflows, documents, and tools. You receive a clear written report with prioritized recommendations. No commitment required to continue.
Creating or cleaning up your operating procedures so your practice runs consistently — whether it's just you, or you bring on support.
Organizing your case files, resource libraries, and template banks so you can find what you need when you need it.
Researching, recommending, and setting up the right tools for your practice size. No overwhelming software — right-sized tools you'll actually use.
A professionally positioned LinkedIn presence that makes you findable and credible to referring attorneys, other professionals, and families seeking representation.
Ongoing operations support so your backend stays functional and organized without you having to think about it. Scope is defined per client based on your actual needs.
A consistent, professional LinkedIn presence without adding to your workload. Written in your voice, scheduled on your behalf.
How It Works
A short, no-pressure conversation to understand your practice, your pain points, and whether we're a good fit for each other. No commitment required.
Before anything changes, we take a clear look at what you have. You receive a written report with prioritized recommendations. The assessment fee is credited toward any work that follows.
We agree on exactly what gets done, by when, and what it costs. Project-based or ongoing retainer — scoped to your practice, not a generic package.
For retainer clients, I stay in your backend — keeping things running, flagging what needs attention, and adapting as your practice grows.

Discovery calls are short, relaxed, and useful regardless of whether we work together. Come as you are — no pitch deck required.
