NEW MOM COACHING
I once heard Danny Huerta, Vice President of Parenting and Youth at Focus on the Family say, "Most people are amazing parents, until they have children." Amen to that, right? I get it. I promise you, I do. Pre-kid, you probably thought being a parent was going to be a breeze because you either had a good one, yourself, or a not-so-good one, and you learned what to do...or what not to do. Or maybe you never thought you had parenting in the bag and becoming a parent further solidified this notion.
Wherever you are on the journey of parenting, rest assured that you absolutely have what it takes to be a fantastic parent to your fantastic kiddos. I believe that you are the perfect parent for your child. If you weren't, God would've given your child to someone else. However, by the time we become parents, we all have some sort of baggage. Baggage that weighs us down in one area or another that prevents us from being our very best for them.
​
If you've gotten this far in reading this, chances are, deep down inside, you may be thinking that things aren't going that great (and perhaps they're awful) in your parenting journey, and you're not okay with it. You may have had unspoken questions like, "Was having children a mistake? I feel like I'm not cut out to be a parent." or "I tried everything and nothing is changing. Why does parenting have to be such a nightmare!?"
​
Well dear one, I hope this encourages you-- parenting does not have to be a nightmare. Parenting is probably the hardest thing I've ever committed myself to, but over the years, through a lot of pain, trial and error, and a ton of tears, I've learned and discovered much about parenting and ways I can do it better for my kids and for myself.

If you are in a place where you are ready to have more love, more joy, and more peace in your home, but you don't know where to start and may even need someone to hold your hand through it, new mom coaching could be right for you.

A Little More About Mia
One of Mia's great passions is helping create healthy foundations within the family unit. The family is the place where children are introduced to the world and how it functions. The family is the first place a person feels a sense of belonging and identifies with a culture. It is the bedrock for human development. With the belief that the family experience is foundational to all human life and influences a person to their very core and throughout their entire life, it becomes obvious why Mia believes that becoming better parents ultimately shapes a better world.
Mia, a former orphan adopted as an infant, believes God has used all of her life experience, education and training to prepare her for a life's work of service in several areas, including the area of cultivating healthy families. She holds a bachelors degree from Ball State University, where she majored in English, minored in theater and counseling psychology (interpersonal relations), and had a concentration in Spanish. She has a masters degree in writing from the University of Southern California and is currently pursuing a second masters degree in the School of Psychology and Marriage and Family Therapy at Fuller Theological Seminary.
Mia is wife to a wonderful man and mother to five equally wonderful, children who range from typical, non-neurotypical and gifted. She is a pastor, writer, a creative, and a coach who's worked in multiple fields from education and religion to entertainment and hospitality. In addition to her formal education, Mia is a lifelong learner, widening her knowledge base, by devouring books of interests and pursuing training and taking courses in the areas of parenting, marriage and relationships, and leadership.
STICK WITH ME, KID;)
