Your Life Can Be Different

"Working with Anna is great. I love her approach about staying connected with your child and to look where "bad" behavior is coming from. Instead of punishment! After every session I feel empowered and supported. She teaches me how to help my kids handling their emotions...."

-Ina, Mother of 2

I want to express my immense gratitude to have found you and have the privilege to work with you throughout the year. Your help was crucial to get me through this year and to be able to maintain a loving and safe environment for my kids to grow and to parent in this way I beleive its healthier for them."

-Kelly, Mother of 2, Yoga Instructor, Doula

"I found the workshop very enlightening. The concepts were easy to use. The seminar game me a toolkit to spend productive time with my kids and solve everyday issues which every parent faces in a fun and playful manner."

-Jalaj, Father of 2

Does This Sound Like You?

You want to feel more connected, present and patient
You resort to threats, yelling, bribes, rewards and punishments to get kids to listen and do what you ask them to do
You want to parent differently than your parents
You want to learn and grow and be the best version of yourself
You are ordered by the court to take parenting classes
Feelings are tough to handle–the feelings of the child (anger, frustration, tantrums) and your own feelings (fears, guilt, frustration, anger)

I am a Parent Too

I know first hand what you are going through...from morning battles to get dressed and get out the door on time to power struggles...struggling to take care of my own needs and being present...trying to balance motherhood, work and taking care of my kid and a household...parenting with my partner so we can find common grounds and maintain our own voice. I fundamentally believe that social and emotional support for parents is VITAL.
I am on the mission to help children by helping parents. I am dedicated in shifting the mainstream parenting paradigm one parent at a time. I would love for you to join that movement.

After working with parents, children, teachers for over 18 years I have developed powerful tools such as my 4 step CALM formula to help parents IN THE MOMENT, the Freedom Frame (for setting limits) to help parents understand themselves better, empathically listen to children's feelings, establish effective communication and instead of giving in or being overly punitive, set limits confidently and coach children to reach their potential.

All You Need is Support and Guidance

I would like to support you on your parenting journey. Give you new tools, knowledge and skills for you to navigate the daily challenges so that you can feel more confident, enjoy your kids and life more. You don't have to continue feeling overwhelmed, guilty and frustrated.
Yelling doesn't have to be part of your parenting repertoire.
