embodied parenting & life
helping you parent from a more resourced, rooted and regenerative place
hi. i’m vina. with compassion, care and curiosity, i am here to hold space for your parenting + reparenting practice, your quest-ions and inquiries about what is showing up in your relationships & your journey home to who you are becoming. i believe in your wholeness, in the medicine that live inside you and in the answers that you seek and are seeking you.
let’s parent and move and love from the inside out, outside in.
We live in a society where for so many of us, we live in disconnection from our bodies, our inner wisdom, each other. Together with an undeniable lack of systemic support for parents and children, it’s no wonder that parenting feels so hard and confusing some days and it’s easy to think there is something wrong with us (or our children) in the midst of our struggles. Some of us find ourselves parenting out of our childhood scripts that no longer align with who we want to be. Some of us feel overwhelmed with all the demands that parenting seem to put on our bodies. Some of us feel like maybe our best efforts just aren’t good enough. Whatever story you may be believing &/or living in at the moment, there is one thing I know for sure: you are not alone.
It’s possible to embody consent, mend ruptures and treat our kids (& ourselves) with respect in the midst of our struggles. It’s possible to become a parent anchored in safety, care and self-responsibility even when our past says otherwise. It’s possible to shift toxic generational patterns towards healthier ways of being, one baby step at a time. It’s possible to feel confident & good enough about the way we parent & the way our child learns. And it’s possible to do all this imperfectly and still be the parents our kids deserve.
my work is twofold: i support parents and caregivers in crafting & sustaining their unique somatic-soulful practices in their parenting journey. we focus on the embodied & spiritual work of cultivating our capacity so we can parent from a place of compassion, resilience and freedom.
i also help parents examine power dynamics in their relationship with their children and move away from coercive & controlling parenting strategies towards collaborative & creative practices. we focus on making empowered choices rooted in presence, connection and trust.

I've had the opportunity to get to know Vina virtually for years and long admired their gentle, practical, decolonized approach to parenting. When I learned Vina was offering parent coaching, I signed up right away. I feel pretty secure in my parenting, but there have been particular difficult issues with one of my teens that I needed help navigating. The time I spent with Vina was so precious. I felt seen and validated as a parent and walked away with a mindset and strategy to use as guideposts along the way. Whether you are struggling or want a second perspective from a wise, loving fellow parent, I highly recommend getting on Vina's schedule.

So grateful to have Vina coaching me for my parental issues. Vina holds non judgmental space for letting out your true experience and I personally felt very comfortable sharing with her my struggles. I was struggling with being reactive in my relationship with kids and husband. She helped me be aware of my patterns from childhood and my attachment style and that tremendously helped with the way I show in my relationships not only with my children but with my spouse as well. She has a very gentle yet insightful approach. She is like your best friend who you can share with in a safe space and she knows what you are going through and helps you navigate what you truly want. I highly recommend Vina as a coach.
