A little bit about me

Hi there!
I’m currently looking for a part-time position while growing my life coaching business. I’m a mom to three amazing kids—my 16-year-old son, 5-year-old daughter, and 6-year-old stepson—so I truly understand the day-to-day realities of parenting across different stages of development.

When my daughter was born, I dove deeply into studying coaching, child development, and psychology. I completed several certifications and worked part-time as a sitter, which helped me combine passion with practical experience. I’m especially passionate about conscious parenting, emotional attunement, and supporting children’s brain development in their most formative years.

I believe in the power of connection, structure, and healthy habits. I’m warm, empathetic, and nurturing—but I also know the importance of clear boundaries and consistent routines. I love clean eating, value nutrition.
