Hi! I’m Mia

................

I work with parents who crave connection and peace in their home. I show them how to deal with parenting struggles while navigating identity, belonging, and cultural differences, so that they can bring more joy into their parenting.

I’m a certified parenting coach and educator. In the past 10 years I've served hundreds of parents in the US and internationally both online and in person. I've moved homes/countries a few times while raising 2 highly sensitive kids. I met and learned from experts like Lysa Parker, Barbara Nicolson, Mark Waldman, and Dan Siegel. And I also took courses with experts like Dr. Gordon Neufeld, Irene Lyon, Dr. Gabor Mate, Leslie Potter, and many others.

 

When I’m not coaching or teaching I can be found working on my newsletter and social media, or doing some art while snuggling next to our 7 year-old Labrador. I also love to travel, so planning our next family holiday is always on my list… since we're living overseas now, we often have to split our time between seeing family in Europe or the Pacific Northwest, but my heart is always at a white sunny sandy beach.
