About Me

Hey there! I'm Angela, a mother of two amazing adult sons – even if I do say so myself! My parenting journey has been a learning curve – enjoying the high points and finding ways to navigate the hurdles along the way. It’s taken me down a few paths I never expected it to, like diving into the fascinating world of neurodevelopment and discovering so much about myself, as a person and as a parent.

My own childhood was very challenging and I experienced fear, neglect and negativity from an early age. As a young mother, I was determined to give my boys a more nurturing upbringing than I had myself.

They say it takes a village to raise a child, but, living as an ex-pat, with no extended family around to support me, it was quite isolating and I was afraid of being overprotective and over-compensating. Children learn so much more from who we are than anything we teach them. Whether we're healing from past traumas or nurturing our mind, body and spirit, our well-being is intertwined with theirs. I wanted my boys to feel loved and emotionally secure, so they could grow to be confident, independent adults. So, I embarked on a wild journey of self-discovery and self-directed education.

I became fascinated by the brain and mind, achieving certificates and diplomas in neurodevelopment programs, psychology, applied neuroscience and finally pursuing a degree in Childhood and Youth Studies. Living in many different countries, I experienced diverse cultures and perspectives, which greatly enriched my approach to parenting. Along the way, I found that mindfulness was the foundation for bringing everything together in my life and in my parenting practice. The combination of my life experiences has shaped me into the parent, person and advocate that I am today.

Now, I want to share what I've learned with other parents. I’ve created the Raising Change App, to apply the science of child development to the art of parenting and to support parents on their own mindfulness journey, helping them to find more ease, confidence and balance, in the magical process of parenting.

I’d love to support you on your own journey of self-discovery
