Your coach
Hello, my name is Vera. I’m a mother, an educator, a child advocate and a parenting consultant. Originally from a small village in Italy, I studied in Milan, where I obtained a Master's Degree in Communication and Social Sciences and where I met my life partner. Together moved to London in 2007, for an adventure that is still ongoing. I have worked for 12 years as a Promo Producer/Director/Editor for various international television networks, between Italy and the UK, until I became a mum and my life forever changed.
I started researching about pedagogy, development, conscious parenting practices and meditation since I was pregnant. I have learnt to value all forms of learning through my mothering and our family’s journey with home education and de-schooling. I became a certified Hand in Hand Parenting Instructor in 2020 and currently enrolled in a MA in Psychosynthesis Psychology in 2021. Of all the teachers I have had, so far, our son continues to be my favourite.
My areas of interest and expertise include working with children with a history of trauma, who are highly sensitive, display anxious or aggressive behaviours, asynchronous development and learning and sensory differences. My mission is growing authenticity, autonomy and secure attachment through compassion, mind-body connection, conscious parenting and re-parenting. I am keen on neuroscience, interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, positive discipline, non-violent communication, trauma-recovery and self-directed education .
I love working with anyone seeking greater connection to themselves and others. I am looking forward to walk alongside you the path back home that parenthood can be, though all the depths and heights that becoming a parent brings into life.
