Who Am I?

Hi! I’m Melissa Jones. I’m a clinical psychologist who has been practicing in a private practice setting for more than 15 years. Both my professional life and personal life have focused on children and families and I love sharing ways to make life easier and more enjoyable with my friends, family, and clients!

My husband and I have 7.5 children together: his, hers, and not-ours. My husband had four biological children when we married, I had three biological children, and my best friend’s daughter lived with us for most of her high school years (making her the .5). I’ve become an expert on how to make money stretch further so we could travel and be as active with the entire family as we have been through the years.

We Would Love…

We would love to hear from you about the possibility of partnership opportunities with your organization. Family Centered Life is just that, family-centered. We promote family relationships, less stressful parenting strategies, and enjoying time together.

Our family has always traveled and continues to travel on a regular basis. Travel is one of my favorite parts of my life! It’s my relaxation and self-care!

I’ve been able to share various adventures and learning experiences with my husband and children through all of our years of traveling. Plus, I’ve been able to share quality one-on-one time with my husband traveling without the kids on several of our trips and experiences.

I love to share my travel adventures, as well as my adventures in parenting, with family, friends, clients, and our readers. I know I have important and useful information to share that can benefit just about everyone in regards to parenting, travel, and family fun!

Unique Perspective!

I am able to give a unique perspective due to my professional background in clinical psychology, owning my own business, and my personal experiences being a working mother, step-mother, and grandmother. Additionally, we, as a family, are able to provide a multi-generational perspective on products, events, and destinations.
