I'm a parent, a teacher, and someone who has sat exactly where you are now
My Background
Based in Dubai, I work with parents across the UAE and internationally, online and in person.
I'm a former primary school teacher with over 20 years in education. I've worked with hundreds of children and watched them thrive, struggle, shut down and open up. I learned a great deal about how children develop, what they need, and what gets in the way.
But it wasn't until I became a parent myself that I truly understood how hard this is. Knowing the theory and living it, in your own home, with your own child and all your own history, is a completely different thing.
There were moments I wasn't proud of. Moments I lost my calm, doubted myself, or felt like I was failing at the very thing I'd spent my career preparing for. That experience changed the direction of my work.
Why I became a parent coach
I trained as a conscious parenting coach with the Jai Institute for Parenting, one of the most respected training programmes in this field. That training, combined with my background in education and child development, shapes everything I do.
I work at the intersection of attachment science, nervous system awareness and real family life. Not idealised parenting. Not scripts and strategies that fall apart the moment your child has a meltdown in the supermarket. Real, grounded support that meets you where you actually are.
What I believe
You don't need to be a perfect parent. You need to be a present one. And you deserve support to get there, without shame, without scripts, and without being told you're doing it wrong.
My approach is not about fixing your child. It's about strengthening you: your confidence, your calm, and your capacity to stay grounded even when things are hard.
This work is honest, warm and practical. I'll never give you advice I wouldn't give a close friend.
