Hi, I’m Nika
I’m a certified parent coach supporting parents who want to move beyond simply managing behaviour and build deeper, more connected relationships with their children.
My work is rooted in connection-based parenting, child development and the belief that behaviour makes more sense when we look at what is happening underneath it. I support parents with both the practical challenges of everyday family life and the emotional side of parenting- including the patterns, triggers and reactions we can carry from our own experiences.
As a parent myself, I know that understanding what we want to do and being able to access it in a difficult moment are not always the same thing. My approach therefore includes reflection, nervous-system awareness and somatic practices alongside practical parenting support.
My aim isn’t to help you become a perfect parent. It’s to help you parent with more presence, awareness and connection, repair when things go wrong, and gradually break the patterns you don’t want to pass on.
My Approach
My approach combines practical parenting support with deeper work around the patterns, emotions and nervous-system responses that can make change difficult. I draw on connection-based parenting, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), reflective work and somatic practices, with a more bottom-up approach so insights are not only understood intellectually, but become easier to access in real parenting moments.
See Beyond Behaviour
Children’s behaviour is communication. We explore the feelings, needs and developmental processes underneath what you’re seeing, rather than focusing only on stopping the behaviour.
Break Old Patterns
Knowing how we want to respond does not always mean we can access it when we are stressed or triggered. Old patterns can live not only in our thoughts, but in our nervous system and automatic reactions. Through reflection, NVC, nervous-system awareness and somatic practices, we work toward responses that feel more conscious, connected and available in the moment.
