Hi, I'm Daniela!
Nurturing Relationships: My Experience as a Mother and Daughter
When I gave birth to my daughter, it was important to me from the beginning to give her everything I had missed in my childhood. It was essential for me to have an appreciative relationship with her and to continually nurture our bond as equals. I had also wanted to change my relationship with my parents for a long time. It took time - about 20 years with my father and 30 years with my mother - to be able to connect on an equal footing, to open up to each other and to feel comfortable with each other. These qualities helped me accompany my mother in the best possible way in the last phase of her life.
Deepening My Expertise: Training as a Life and Social Counselor
In order to deepen my understanding of conscious relationships, I completed a certified training with a diploma as a life and social counselor through the institution Familylab, founded by Jesper Juul. A renowned Danish family therapist, Jesper Juul is an international speaker and bestselling author of numerous parenting books that have been translated into several languages. His approach has answered many questions about parenting and provided me with innovative tools to promote healthy relationships in families as a family counselor, mother and also as a daughter.
My Journey as a Guide for Mothers and Daughters
My journey as a mother includes being myself, a single mom, and a working mom. I have been a parent representative at my daughter's school for a few years. In addition, I actively mentor my ninety-plus year-old mom to enjoy a full and meaningful life while living with the challenges of aging.
Before I had my daughter, I was unaware that I had choices to stand up for myself and make decisions on my behalf. I lived my life unconsciously exercising other people's choices as if they were my own. – Feeling trapped and exhausted, I realized that unless I made a conscious choice to leave old patterns behind, I would not be able to become the mother I envisioned.
Surprisingly, when my child was born, I intuitively knew how to initiate those changes and go in a new direction to fulfill my vision. – I searched, found, and attended programs to learn about change and about becoming present in my life. This search asked me to question my thoughts and judgments to determine if they were true for me. – I gained tools to help me to let go of old patterns, to enhance my relationship with my daughter, develop new ways to relate to my family and the larger world.
​
An unexpected benefit of this decision was how it touched my mom. Seeing the closeness between my daughter and myself enabled her to dare leaving her old patterns, to open to engaging in a deeper relationship with us which includes a sincere heart connection.
Like you, I am committed to my child and those whom I love. I have a passion to help moms find success in dealing with the overwhelming reality of parenting and what it asks of us. It is possible to find the path to a sincere and deep relationship with those you love.

"Children need parents who are willing to grow with their children." Jesper Juul's quote is the mantra I embrace and strive to embody.
