Children aren't born with instruction manuals - It's not something you just know

and you don’t have to figure it out alone

As moms, we have this idea that we should just know how to raise happy, healthy children—and that if we don’t, there’s something wrong with us. As if, the moment we became parents, we were struck by a magic lightning bolt that instantly taught us everything about childhood development, behavior, and parenting.

But let me ask you this: If you want to drive a car, don’t you first learn how? You can’t just take the wheel and hope for the best, or read a book and hit the road, or even just listen to someone teach you the theory of driving. You need someone to actually sit next to you in a car as you take the wheel, guiding you as you drive in real-life traffic.

Somehow, as moms, we put this pressure on ourselves to figure it all out on our own—without support and without losing our minds in the process. But children are much more complex than cars, and you already know firsthand how much more demanding parenting is than driving,

So think of me as your parenting driving instructor— here to sit beside you as you navigate the challenges of parenting, guiding you step by step to help you transform your child’s behavior and create a calmer, happier home in a way that works for YOU and your family.

support every step of the way

Hi, I'm Cristina!

I truly believe that, with a little help, every parent can effectively transform their child's behaviour through support and connection and create more calm and cooperation in their homes in a way that feels good.

Often we need someone to not just point us in the right direction but actually help us implement things in our day-to-day lives. Otherwise it becomes just one more to-do list on your fridge that soon gets covered by all your other to-do lists as life starts happening.

That's why I’ll support you every step of the way, making sure you see consistent change as you tackle your day-to-day parenting challenges. You’ll have your own parenting coach in your back pocket, offering 1-on-1 support and giving you the confidence of knowing you’re not doing it alone. You’ll always have someone to ask questions and get the direction you need.

Let’s transform your child’s behavior together so you can enjoy parenting more and really cherish these precious years with your little one.

How I've Helped Other Moms Like You

100% found me HELPFUL

Cristina is realistic, kind, empathetic and understanding.
The biggest lesson for me was "Connection before Correction". 
I recommend these sessions to other parents because they are friendly and interactive and all very practical advice focusing on the parents need as well as the child needs.
Karen
I learned that I CAN still apologize, and keep trying, and again keep trying. My biggest lesson was "Dont give up on a bad day. Every single interaction with the child is an opportunity to PRACTICE." I recommend these sessions to other parents because reading a book isnt enough, you can only change by practicing. It is SO hard to change, therefore it is SO helpful to have Cristina on your side encouraging and guiding you.
Céline
My favourite part was seeing it through the eyes of my child. I could really see and feel the difference from both sides ❤️
The biggest AHA moment for me was that our child doesn’t want us to have a button - that really stuck with me - and see it from their perspective.
I recommend these sessions to other parents because they’re so helpful!

Cristina is a wealth of knowledge and it helps so much!
Katie
My favourite part was the role play and understanding the other side/the child. The biggest takeaway for me was having more empathy and compassion in the moment and listen to the real messages from kids.
I recommend these sessions to other parents because they are so insightful and we look at practical real issues with alternative practical easy solutions.
Cristina is awsome, energetic and real.
Amanda Wakefield
I learned that our parenting styles matter with the child we are shaping. It means, if we are doing this parenting style, then we are shaping/molding a child to be this kind of person. So as a parent, it is wiser to choice the best parenting style because we are not just dealing the day to day circumstances with our kids but we are shaping them to be the person they can be when they grow. These sessions give me more ideas on how to approach my kids in a positive way and with the goal of achieving the life skills that I wanted to impart to my kids when they grow.
Genelynn Factor
My favourite part was the practical application of going through a real life situation.
My AHA moment was looking at the situation from a new perspective (the child thinking its an fun thing to do) and looking for alternative ideas to difuse the situation.
These sessions are helpful to get a reminder of what little people may be thinking. This gives a better perspective to deal with the situation as a parent.
A mom
I find it very important that it's focused on young children, because it's often very difficult to reach out to them since they're at an age where they want to do everything their own way.
I really appreciated that
Cristina always had answers to our doubts and situations.
A mom
My favourite part was being the child and feeling the command that we do with our children.
It is very useful for parents to understand the issue to better prepare themselves for tough situations
Khalid
I recommend Coaching with Cristina.
One on one was great to a better idea and understanding of things.
Leze
My favourite part was the reminder of "me time"  and that there is no such thing as perfect.
A mom
I see things differently. I love these changes because they help me build a strong bond with my kids.
Mariama
I learned ways to deal with the situation and solutions.
The biggest takeway for me was "Don't force child".

It Doesn't Need to Be a Constant Struggle

Start Enjoying Parenting Your Little One

Parenting can feel really hard sometimes, like you’re on an emotional rollercoaster going from, “I’m awsome, I've got this” to “Maybe I’m not made to be a mom. Maybe I’m ruining my child. Maybe the reason my child is behaving like this is because I'm failing as a parent”.

It's easy to get drowned in self-doubt, feeling like you’re failing because you can’t juggle everything or meet the impossible expectations you set out for yourself.

But you need to remember that you didn’t suddenly become superhuman just because you became a mom. You have so much on your plate—take a moment to appreciate all the amazing things you already DO for your little one and the love and care you pour into your family every single day.

YOU ARE NOT FAILING—you’re just human. And your child doesn’t need you to be a perfect zen parent—they just need your love, your support, and your understanding as they navigate life’s challenges. And that’s what you want to give them too—it’s why you care so deeply about being the best mom you can be to them.

Trying to be a super mom, doing all the things all at once, is setting yourself up for overwhelm and constantly feeling like you’re falling short.

Being the best parent you can be for your little one isn't about doing it all (a perfect house, a perfect meal, a perfect cake for the kindergarten sale, a perfect life). Your child doesn't care about all that, what they truly want is your unconditional love and support.

Stop trying to do everything you think you’re supposed to do and instead lighten your load, focusing on doing your best just 51% of the time and you will actually become a better mom for your child.

Because, while it might not always feel like it, you’re more than just a mom—you’re a person with your own wants, needs, and feelings. And just as your child’s unmet needs can lead to challenging behaviors, your unmet needs can lead to frustration, emotional drain and being much more likely to loose your patience.

That’s why your reaction to your child spilling milk on the floor will be completely different on a calm, relaxed Sunday morning than on a rushed Monday when you’re already feeling stressed because you're late.

If you want to be able to effectively change your child’s behavior, you can’t just focus on their needs—you also need to make sure you’re taking care of your own needs on a daily basis.

It’s easy to put yourself at the bottom of the priority list, but self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s essential for showing up to your child as the best version of yourself, with more patience, self-control and energy. That energy has a profound impact on how you connect with your little one and respond to their behavior.

That’s why in our coaching sessions, we start by taking care of your mental well being. Together, we’ll create an action plan that not only includes effective strategies to transform your child’s behavior but also simple self-care practices that take less than 5 minutes and can easily fit into your busy family life. I’ll then help you implement your action plan step by step in your day-to-day life, ensuring that, not only you're seeing consistent changes in your child's behaviour, but also making self-care a natural part of your daily routine, so you can get that daily energy boost that allows you to have more patience, be able to self-regulate and enjoy parenting more!

Because, as a mom myself, I know that the days seem never-ending sometimes, but the years are so short... These preschool years will go by so fast... Soon you won't be your child's favourite person and they won't want to come to your lap for cuddles anymore.

Let me help you stop feeling like you’re constantly in survival mode and start enjoying the precious time you have with your little one!


YOU'LL GET ALL THE SUPPORT YOU NEED

To effectively transform your child's most challenging behaviour while helping them grow healthy and keeping your sanity!

1
The Full Picture 📝

The first step in our journey together will be for you to complete a diagnostic form where you’ll share details about your family, what you're struggling with the most, what you've tried so far, how your child has responded, and other important details that will help me get a full picture of your specific family, your child, and what’s happening.

3
Addressing your Needs 🧘‍♀️

We start by focusing on you because you need to put on your oxygen mask first in order to help your child and transform their behavior.
We'll pinpoint what’s overwhelming you and let go of the pressure to be a perfect mom and the guilt that comes with it, focusing instead on doing your best just 51% of the time—because it will actually make you a better mom.
You’ll also learn fast, high-impact strategies for self-care and self-regulation that will not only make parenting feel easier and more enjoyable for YOU but will also help your child respond to you in a calmer, more positive way.

4
Understanding & Addressing Your Child’s Behavior 🧒

Now that we've addressed your own needs, we’ll shift the focus to understanding what’s really driving your child’s behavior —so you can respond to your child by effectively addressing the needs that are the root cause of their behavior, instead of reacting to your child's surface-level actions.
Through role-playing, you’ll step into your child’s shoes, gaining a firsthand perspective on what they’re thinking and feeling in those challenging moments.
You’ll learn what to avoid to prevent escalating their behavior and exactly what to do instead to create the biggest shift in a way that works for you, your unique child, and your specific family life.

6
Step-by-Step Implementation 👟

Right after our call, you’ll start implementing your first action step. As you complete each step, you’ll mark it as done in the coaching app with a quick comment about how it went, how your child reacted, and how you felt. You will then move on to the next step.
Every step is designed for maximum impact—fully tailored to you and your child while being easy to integrate into your daily routine. This roadmap keeps you focused on achieving real, lasting change in a way that fits seamlessly into your family life.

9
Final Assessment 📝

At the end of your implementation month, you will complete your final assessment form, sharing the changes you’ve seen in your child, how your family life has transformed, what goals you enjoyed implementing the most, which ones fit most naturally into your family routine, and which strategies were the most helpful overall.

10
Refining your Action Plan for the Long-Term 📄

I will review everything you shared in the form as well as take a final deep dive into the insights you provided on all the goals you completed throughout the month. I’ll pinpoint the strategies that created the biggest transformation in your child’s behavior, the ones that worked best for your family, and the techniques that helped you most so you can confidently continue with what works.
I’ll also refine your action plan as needed to ensure it fully supports both your needs and your child’s and integrates seamlessly into your family life. You’ll receive a clear roadmap to help you maintain the progress you’ve made, continue guiding your child, and take the next steps to further their growth.
You’ll get a push message in the app when your continuity plan is ready for download.

Either your child's behaviour improves or
you'll get your money back

If in that extra month you complete 20 more steps, again apply my feedback and advice, and still report no improvement, I’ll give you your money back.

Please note that your specific action steps will depend on your individual needs and those of your particular child, The examples below were given to a mom who was feeling very touched-out by her very needy 4 year old daughter.

Behavior Action Step

Today everytime you want to tell your child to do something, rephrase your command in the form of a question. Example: instead of saying "put on your shoes", ask "what do you need to put on your feet to go outside?" Here are more examples:

  • What do we use to keep our hair neat?
  • What do we need to brush our teeth?
  • What do we wear so we aren't cold outside?
  • What do you need to put on your feet to go outside?

Self-care Action Step

At least once today, take a 3 minute break (hide in the toilet and lock the door if you have to) and practice this breathing: breathe in slowly while mentally counting until you finish. Then breath out counting double that number. Repeat 3 times.

I typically reply within 24h on work days, although most of the times I reply immediately as soon as I see a chat message or completed goal notification.

No refunds.
