What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
My coaching is unique in that I work with parents to bring more consciousness to their parenting, including self-awareness and self-compassion. In doing so, I hold up a mirror for clients to take a look at their role, their habits and their modeling. With this mindset shift, connection and relationships are prioritized and children’s behaviors are more understood – instilling confidence, sturdiness and clarity into homes worldwide.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
My success as a coach comes from my vast experience, a unique ability to interpret children’s behavior, powerful insight and a heartfelt commitment to the work. Having dedicated much of my life and career to deepening my own self-awareness, I can relate to what I’m asking clients to practice. As a naturally good listener, and having taught and coached so many different families over decades, I’m able to easily discern what knowledge and skills parents already have and customize their coaching to personally support them in their continued growth.
Tilley Fine
Tilley Fine is a Certified Conscious Parent coach through the Dr. Shefali Institute. She is also a trauma-informed Stress & Anxiety coach, keynote speaker and mental health advocate. She has helped hundreds of families move beyond their stress and trauma, to learn instead, how to grow and thrive. She supports individuals, families and groups worldwide in navigating through their relationships and family behavioral dynamics.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
Conscious Parenting flips the traditional parenting paradigm upside down. Unlike traditional parenting which is based on a hierarchical model where the parent is the “boss”, Conscious Parenting is about raising a spirit and honoring their true essence. Our children are brought to us to mirror back to us, the parts of ourselves that we need to pay attention to, and to heal. My passion is to radically shift the way we design and create our family structure, by ending the cycle of stress and anxiety, though healing our traumas and connection.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
I believe true healing starts with the nervous system. I incorporate a unique blend of traditional coaching and therapy, with spiritual, scientific and somatic approaches. Understanding why your child behaves in a certain way, discovering your triggers and deconstructing your patterns, is critical in order to establish an authentic parent-child relationship. I guide parents though their own childhood traumas and cultural pressures, that influence their family values.
Sasha Morozov
Sasha Morozov is a maternal mental health expert with over a decade of experience working with women and non-profits. Sasha is a licensed therapist who helps women who are killing it at work but feel like they are failing at home to have a simpler and more peaceful life. Sasha is the founder of sasha x home and has developed a four-step method that focuses on Self, Home, Relationships, and Habits.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I work with high-achieving women who love their careers but feel that home is a second shift of work. I believe that home should be where you are able to relax, enjoy the life you’ve built and be your true self. I dive deep below the surface with each client to unleash their true desires about life and create steps with a clear plan for achieving them. I utilize my therapist skills and bring in solution-based techniques to quickly achieve results that last the test of time.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The most critical thing that has contributed to my success as a coach has been my life experience. I believe I show up as a true representation of what I see my clients struggle with every day. I’ve been there, I have the skills to teach others, and I’m determined to make this world a better place.
Rachel
Rachel is a dynamic speaker, coach, and invaluable resource for parents who long for an easier life with kids, especially boys. She emphasizes childhood brain development, core needs, systems, routines, and parent-child bonds using a heart-centered, no-nonsense approach as she customizes plans that are unique to each family’s strengths and challenges. As a working parent of three strong-willed boys and a leader in her industry, she offers realistic insights on raising tomorrow’s leaders.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
Rachel specializes in supporting moms of strong-willed boys who want to foster respectful and connected parent-child bonds while gaining cooperation and building a family culture of collabaration. To do that, she advocates for the child’s point of view and equips her clients with the ability to do the same, which brings a shared perspective and new degree of compassion to the relationship.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
Rachel has honed her craft over thousands of hours of coaching parents in her private practice. She can quickly discern which strategies result in positive outcomes and adapt her coaching accordingly. Moreover, Rachel possesses a unique talent for viewing situations from multiple perspectives, granting her a vantage point that quickly reveals clients’ blind spots and allows her to see the bigger picture without getting caught up in her clients’ (often negative) views of their children.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
The family is the smallest unit of society but the most important and influential unit of society. Every child is unique and special and also a product of the family system, however, without the right tools and resources, it might be difficult for parents to harness and bring out the potential in their children.
I believe that with the right tools and support systems parents can guide their children to become well-balanced individuals who can contribute positively to the larger society. This is why I support parents to create the best and most effective strategy for their parenting journey. With the programs I have developed, I work with parents to teach, equip and guide their children with skills to reach their potential. My Coaching is based on my practice as a Psychologist,a family life practitioner, and a parent coach
All these approaches I use to help parents develop confidence in their own abilities and strength to build meaningful connections and influence their children. This helps them to build strong parent-child relationships
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most important thing is the creation of The Smart Parenting Accountability Program, which is an inner circle program where I work one-on-one with parents on their parenting journey, and Also our TEEN Model which I use in coaching parents of teenagers to understand and connect with their teens.

From her practice The Parental Coach she provides interactive workshops, parenting classes and 1:1 coaching to teach parents new tools to help gain more harmony and connection within the family and cope with everyday challenges.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
As a PCI Certified Parent Coach, I support parents by co-actively working together in finding new strategies that fit your family and your children. You are the expert of your family while I have my expertise in Parenting, Psychology and Coaching. On top of that, as a Positive Discipline Trainer, I teach very practical tools that parents can apply directly. With a combination of practicality, warmth and challenge I will take you on a road to personal parenting development. My goal is to help parents be the parent they want to be, so children can thrive, and parents can parent with confidence and joy.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The most important thing that has contributed to my success as a coach has been my own experience as a child and mother. When I became a mother I realized that you only start appreciating your parents when you become a parent yourself; this was a valuable insight that I remind myself of frequently. At the same time, my children help me grow and develop further every day. With love and challenge, they teach me to see things from a different point of view, they have shown me what genuine excitement is and they have taught me the extreme importance of connection. This connection is the most important component during my coaching journey.
Elisabeth Stitt
Teacher, award-winning parent educator, speaker and author of Parenting as a Second Language, Elisabeth Stitt founded Joyful Parenting Coaching to give parents the skills they need to create harmony at home and rock-solid relationships with their children. With over 50,000 hours working with youths and families, Elisabeth has seen it all: all kinds of kids, all kinds of parents.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
Parents struggle to implement the parenting advice they read. I solve that in 2 ways: First, I connect their personal values and vision for their family to their concrete day-to-day parenting decisions. That supports parents in being consistent and building trust with their kids. Second, from my 25+ years in the classroom, I teach parents how to use their bodies, voices and imaginations to engage their kids effectively, so they get the closeness and cooperation that makes for happy homes.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
Holding fast to one key idea is what makes me a successful coach. People do the best they can at the moment and, at the same time, are absolutely able to change and improve with support and practice. When I hold that space 100% for my clients, that enables my clients to hold that space for their kids. That shift in attitude promotes transformation in the whole family system.
Elisa Pella
Elisa Pella is a certified Parent Coach invested in helping parents develop a stronger and more gratifying relationship with their children. Through coaching, parents manage to become the strong, supportive and affectionate leaders children so deeply need. She is also very active on social media and is building an online community of conscious parents who want to free themselves from traditional methods of raising children.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
My coaching is based on neuroscience principles and is aimed at helping parents better understand themselves as well as their children. I use Non-Violent Communication to inspire parents to rethink the way they talk to each other, to themselves and to their children, so that everyone can learn to connect with their needs and feelings and express them assertively. My knowledge of attachment theory and respectful parenting help parents change their mindset when they feel stuck in situations so that with a new approach they can find better solutions for their families.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most important thing is the ability to help parents look beyond the single moment, to set goals for themselves, to envision the kind of parent they want to be and to build a road that helps them get there. To free them from all the shoulds and feelings of guilt that parenthood brings along and to become the judges of their own actions based on their goals.
Lelia Schott
Lelia Schott is the founder of Synergy Parenting, online advocacy and consulting group, helping parents and children to reclaim their purpose, peace and power. She has been researching and practising parenting for 24 years. Imperfectly, yet intentionally. Lelia specializes in promoting authenticity and attachment through the mind-body connection, empowered communication and conscious parenting.
As an empathetic listener and dedicated coach, she loves working with anyone seeking greater connection to themselves and others.
She is a mother to four sons and two daughters who turn 24, 22, 20, 17, 10, 7 this year. She is recognized as a child and inner child advocate and quoted in many different languages. Lelia is an independent researcher, certified parent coach with a keen interest in relational neuroscience and holistic health.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
I cannot say for certain how I am different or what I do differently. My hope is that I offer an honest and helpful perspective as I have been practising peaceful parenting and reparenting for years and years with six diverse children. I well understand the highs and lows. So much of what I do to support others is what I have learned to do to support myself. I love Ram Dass’s saying, “I help people as a work on myself and I work on myself to help people.”
As I work on my triggers I can more easily find rest in the glimmers and rise to raise myself and my children, not perfectly but intentionally. People often ask me why I’m so interested in parenting, it’s wellbeing I am interested in. I love the work of re-parenting ourselves to live by our values and pursue our dreams as we honour our full human experience.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
I would say the single most important thing would be recognizing that I don’t need to be perfect to help others. This belief helped me feel more confident creating and sharing relatable empowering content. I hope and trust in the sacred service of consciously holding space for others. My hope is that people I can help find me. I take each person’s time seriously without taking myself too seriously. We all deserve to find brave spaces where we can be vulnerable and safely belong.
Ola Domaradz
Ola Domaradz is the founder of ABC Parenting who has spent the last 20 years fascinated by what it means to be human, what makes us behave the way we do and most recently by childhood trauma and development. She has been exploring psychology on her own and applying her learning to all relationships. In the last 7 years, all that knowledge was put to the test when she became a mother. The challenges she faced led her to train under dr. Shefali Tsabary and obtain a certification as a Conscious Parenting Coach.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
The biggest difference in my approach with parents is my ability to reveal to them how their perceived challenges with their children are their greatest opportunity. I focus on parental evolution and the reclamation of the self by inspiring parents to deconstruct their triggers and patterns. I use the Conscious Parenting Method and the Compassionate Inquiry approach among other disciplines to help parents strip away their layers of conditioning so that they can love who they are first and then deeply love their children. This truly helps liberate people from their own mental prison, accept and connect with their kids, and live a life of harmony and joy.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most important thing has been my ability to relate to parents as a parent myself. I have deep compassion, empathy and an understanding of the many challenges parents face. My ability to be present and non-judgmental creates a space of trust and safety for parents to share anything and everything and together walk a journey to an amazing relationship with their child.
Elisabetta Iovene
As a Parent Coach, Elisabetta Iovene, daily helps parents in growing with their kids, passing through the small and big challenges of family life. She is the founder and creator of the GPC Program (Growing Parents Coaching Program), a gradual path that begins by overcoming power-struggle issues, and gets right to the heart of every family member, in order to leave automatic reactions and create authentic conversations and emotional connection.
What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?
My Coaching merges the most recent neuroscience-based Parenting Approaches with the proven-effective NLP and Coaching Techniques, applied to the Family framework. Parents develop new relationship skills and acquire new strategies and tools to apply and personalize in their daily Family life, in order to make clear what situation they’re in, identify their improvement areas, explore all possible solutions and take action. A goal-driven process, that redefines their Parenting Style, reduces stress, struggles and shouting, and helps them rediscover the pleasure of Family Life. I support Parents in Group Workshops as well as in One-to-One or Couple Coaching Sessions.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
Parents feel I’m just one of them; being a mother myself, in fact, keeps me growing with my kids and learning every day. But Parenting is not only my life or my job; Parenting is my passion and my mission. I keep on studying and making research and, as long as I get to something that really works, I share it with my Coachees or introduce it in my Program. Moreover, my non-judgmental attitude, as well as my non-schoolteacher style, turns Workshops and Sessions into great opportunities to work on oneself and reach powerful personal insights.

She is the face and CEO of ParenTeen.co.uk. and the founder of the NO Drama ParenTeen Method which focuses on helping parents to reconnect with their teens and build great relationships.

My programs are based on Life Coaching, NLP, NVR (None Violence Resistant), ASIST first aid suicide interventions and neuroscience for parents. This arms parents with bulletproof tools to grow in confidence and reconnect with their teens building great relationships.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
The single most important thing that has contributed to my success as parent coach has been sharing with my clients my own experience as suicidal teenager and the story repeating itself with my son.
