1-1 Parent coaching
When you think about it—people who work with coaches are already doing their best. The best basketball, tennis, football players, you name it, leaders, singers, entrepreneurs, corporate employees, educators all embrace opportunities to do better. With a growth mindset and the desire to improve, coaching is an energized self-discovery process. One on one parent coaching sessions are designed to support parents better understand their children and develop effective strategies for raising healthy, happy, and successful kids. During this time parents gain insight into their family dynamic and develop practical tools for communicating with their children. Together we will co/construct effective evidence-based strategies, so they can positively impact external pressures.
Couple coaching
I particularly enjoy coaching couples as I find it most effective and its usually with this colaboration that all the magic happens. This is where parents come together to meet their parenting challenges and usually leave being able to make informed decisions, gain a greater understanding of their parenting role, develop effective strategies to motivate and support their children, foster healthy relationships with their kids, and much more. I honour the courage it takes to share your stories and therefore I create a safe, non-judgemental space where everyone's insight is valuable.
Group coaching
Group coaching is a great option for parents to discover their unique parenting style and gain the confidence they need to parent with integrity, while sharing the stories and co/constructing new ideas and strategies with parents who are likeminded or have similar challenges or desires. Groups are usually made up of 6-8 people. Whether it's dealing with emotions, learning difficulties, digital media challenges, challenges of expat parenting, work/family balance, increasing selfcare or just learning how to enjoy parenting more - I am ready to help!

About me
I have 3 children and have been in Geneva, Switzerland since 2014. I have lived in Serbia, Lebanon, Singapore, and Switzerland, and thus have a deep understanding of different cultures and the expat experience. I started out my professional career in the world of finance. This taught me the importance of collaboration, and of individuals working to their strengths. However, I have always been passionate about psychology and the nature of relationships. I love learning how to gain a deeper understanding of them and then working to improve them.
Upon moving to Geneva I was finally able to pursue my dream and shift gears. Today i am a certified yoga instructor and PCI parent coach, specializing in helping parents developing their parenting skills and create a positive and nurturing environment for their children. My mission is to empower parents and leave them better equipped to navigate the challenges of parenting. I offer individual and couple coaching sessions to support parents in cultivating strong family relationships and creating a safe and healthy home environment. I also provide group sessions to help parents build their capacity to manage difficult situations and stay calm in times of stress. Additionally, I provide researched based resources and support to help parents maintain healthy relationships and a positive attitude. I believe that when parents are better equipped to handle the challenges of parenting, their children will reap the benefits.
