"Fellow Parents, I have found treasure! I want to share her with you! Sherri Martinelli is an author, speaker, and an authentic gem. I recently saw her present on Family Time Training’s Spring Fling and was inspired to reach out to her feeling like I might have some things to learn from her and in the few weeks of connecting we’ve already had, I am really excited for you to learn from her, as well!"

"Our 4 year old was having problems adjusting to his newly adopted sister. His anger just about got him kicked out of preschool. Sherri helped us develop positive methods of reinforcing good behavior and reducing unacceptable behavior. Sherri’s upbeat personality and genuine love of children and their harried parents, helped us to become more consistent in our discipline while valuing our children’s unique personalities and individual gifts.”
Kathy – mom of 2 – California
“Sherri is my very own “Supernanny”! I look forward to every time she comes into our home. She stays by my side helping, encouraging and gently instructing me with each parenting situation that arises. Sherri has designed and adapted parenting tools just for us that are really working and my kids even look forward to each of her visits. After a weekend alone with our 3 kids, my husband said, “ We need our Sherri!” I’m really enjoying being a mom again!”
Karen – mom of 3: 4, 6, 8 – Sudbury, MA
“Sherri has been a great resource of information while facing the challenges of parenting. Her warm and positive personality help make you feel supported. I have gained so much insight from her and thank her for her advice.”
Amy – mom of a 5 yr old – Oregon
“Sherri Martinelli has greatly influenced our family to become a unified “team”, all working to reach our God-given best. Her hands-on tools and positive reinforcement ideas have been indispensable in restoring peace and harmony in our home. Thank you, Sherri!”
Tim & Tish – Parents of 4: 10, 8, 6 & 2- Lancaster, MA
“I was fortunate enough to have my son, Michael, stay with Sherri and her family for a couple of months. He could not read very well when he went to stay with her. When I went to Boston to pick him up, he had changed into a young man. He could read…even the road signs along the interstate.”
Bill – single dad of 2 – Kentucky
“We turned Sherri loose with our four year old son one afternoon. She modeled tough-love discipline, immediately addressing the tantrums he was prone to and resulting in a battle royale. To our amazement, within a couple of hours, not only had our son’s behavior changed, but he came up to Sherri, gave her a big hug, and told her how happy he was that she was with us.”
Stephen – dad of 2: 2, 4 – California
“I felt overwhelmed and incapacitated with all the responsibilities of motherhood, being a wife, working, and keeping a house neat and orderly. Sherri rolled up her sleeves and got to work, right along side me, helping me see more clearly what I needed to do step-by-step to bring more peace and order into my home. My kids and husband saw right away the difference in our home, but most of all, they saw a difference in me! I was so much happier and free!”
Kelley – mom of 2: 6, 9 – Maynard, MA
“I have known Sherri since she was a blushing bride and recall from the beginning that her heart’s desire was to be the best mom she could possibly be. She understood the awesome responsibility of parenting and I watched her raise her children with love, patience, creativity, and discipline. True to her nature, she eagerly sought advice and encouragement along the way. Her knowledge and understanding, along with her natural instincts for good parenting, has allowed Sherri to find balance and joy in her roles as mother and wife.”
Nancy Z – Mom of 3, Grandmother of 6 – California
"I have found Sherri's intent listening, her encouragement and ideas are like a life-line in my 'new reality' of single parenting."
Audrey - mother of a daughter

“My children are now 14, 12, 10 and 5. I have saved Sherri’s Stop Sign and other handouts on getting ready in the morning (Morning Motivator) and Thanksgiving and on Discipline, all from 12 years ago! As a mom, I have always struggled with impatience, anger and control. These tools helped me to slow down, explain and pinpoint the “offense” so I could lovingly train my children in the right way to go. I will always remember Sherri said if we see a problem—something that is driving us crazy—like getting ready in the morning, we need to stop and plan out a solution. In other words, don’t just react to the problem when it happens, but proactively plan a creative solution. That has always helped me!”
Linda, mom of 4, Framingham, MA
“Sherri recommended that if a child is interrupting you, to put up your index finger which means ‘I heard you and care what you have to say. When I am finished talking I will focus on you.’ I tried it with Jenni and it worked! As Sherri suggested, I had to explain it to her and role play with her first before putting it into practice, and it is working!”
Leigh – mom of 3 year old – Bolton, MA
Testimonials ~ From or About Teens
“We invited Sherri to speak to our teen girls about Leadership. Her interactive, fun presentation was not only an encouragement to them, but to we adults as well, to be leaders who lead with integrity and compassion. Her energy, ability to relate to these young women with stories of her own life, scripture and hands-on activities has influenced them positively. One of our “models” told me, “I felt Mrs Martineli was talking right to me. I learned so much from her.” A mother told me her daughter came home so encouraged that she thought maybe she was a different person! We thank her again for making a difference in the lives of these young ladies."

"I thought it appropriate if I wrote you a thank you letter for your outstanding performance of 'Mary's Heart' at out Ladies Tea here at the Alton Bay Christian Campground. Our Tea is the only time our 'sisters in Christ' have our own program and your heart wrenching portrayal of Mary's thoughts and feelings about her beloved Son was fabulous. Your presence was so real and we felt we were actually hearing from Mary herself. Such great thoughts to ponder as we sometimes forget that Mary was a mother too.
God has given you a special gift, Sherri. I am so glad that He had lead you to preform this wonderful drama. Thank you for sharing with us. We also loved your presentation of the 'Lights' and the thoughtful 'homework' activities you gave us. You will not be forgotten!"
Joy Wallace - Alton Bay Christian Conference Center, NH
"I'm writing to command to you the drama ministry of Sherri Martinelli. We had Sherri at Valley View on December 17-18, 2016 to share in our regular weekend worship. Our congregation had been reading through the Bible in 2016 and Sherri came to share with us the same week we had read the Old Testament book of Ester. She did her presentation as Ester during the 30 minutes sermon slot.
Sherri, in character as a mature Haddasah, told her story of becoming the Queen of Persia and how God used her 'for such a time this' to save her people. Her performance was both faithful to the scripture and effective in grabbing people's attention and helping them to see clearly how God was at work in delivering His people. I would recommend Sherri's ministry if you are looking for a unique way to make the scripture come alive."
Gene Barron, Sr. Pastor, Valley View Christian Church, CO
"Many, many thanks for joining us for the Hope in Christ Woman's Fall Event that took place here at Hope in Christ Church in September. Through your acting expertise we experienced a personal meeting with Hadassah a/k/a Queen Ester who spoke to us with words directly from the Bible. We were captured by her story and beauty. As the story went on we learned the application to our own lives of the lessons learned by the story of Queen Ester."
