As a pediatrician with 25+ years of experience, I have seen many patients and families who struggle with the same things my family has—ADHD, autism, anxiety and the heartache and challenges that come along with them. I can relate to families both as doctor and as Mom who “gets it,” (and as parent coach/speaker). It has been my joy to watch parents begin to see a glimmer of hope as I share what I have learned from Connected Families.

“I loved our time together today. I had forgotten how much we need to connect with each other as women and moms. It was definitely a bucket-filling two hours. Thank you, Dr. Reinhardt! Your support really means the world.”
-Heather C., mom of four, after a Discipline that Connects Workshop

Born and raised in Hong Kong, I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Hong Kong Baptist University and worked in a special school for children with cerebral palsy before moving to the United States. I later completed both a Master’s in Family Studies and a Doctor of Education in Counselor Education and Student Personnel Services at Virginia Tech.

For 25 years, I devoted myself to raising and homeschooling my children while also supporting my husband’s ministry at Blacksburg Chinese Church through worship, women’s Bible studies, and small group leadership.

As an empty nester, God opened new doors through my work with Connected Families, where I became a certified parent coach and workshop speaker. This encounter reshaped my calling, leading me into a ministry of reconciliation—especially between parents and children.

Deeply grateful for the bonds I share with my husband, three grown children, and six grandchildren, I carry a special passion for Asian families. While Asian parents love deeply, cultural patterns of shame and honor often distort the message of love. My heart is to help families experience grace, truth, and the freedom of God’s redeeming love.
