Welcome to Our Peaceful Parenting Journey Together!
Hello, fellow parent! 🌼
I'm Dajana (just like Diana), your guide and friend on this beautiful, albeit sometimes challenging, parenting adventure. My official title might be a Peaceful Parenting Coach, but at heart, I'm just like you—a mom navigating the ups and downs of raising children with love, patience, and a sprinkle of humor.
My Mission
My journey into peaceful parenting began not just in classrooms or through certifications, but in the very heart of my home, with my own three wonderful children (two boys and one girl). Each day, they teach me the true essence of parenting—embracing both its messes and miracles.
Armed with a blend of professional training and personal experience, my mission is to empower you with strategies, tools, and insights to nurture a respectful, peaceful, and loving relationship with your child. Whether it's mastering getting your child to cooperate without a fuss, fostering emotional intelligence, or cultivating self-compassion, I'm here to support you in becoming the parent your child needs.
My Credentials
Certified Peaceful Parenting Coach & Playful Parenting Educator
Coordinator to Dr. Laura Markham, author of Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids
Trained directly with Dr. Lawrence Cohen, author of Playful Parenting
Master’s Degree in Leadership from the University of Florida
Assistant Professor at several State & Private Universities in the US
A decade of leadership experience in management and higher education
Beyond Coaching
When I'm not engaged in coaching or leading workshops, you'll find me exploring the great outdoors with my kids—whether that's adventuring through woods, marveling at nature’s wonders, or picking wildflowers with my daughter. My personal sanctuaries include daily meditation, journaling, and, when the coast is clear, indulging in a secret stash of German chocolate (shh, it's our little secret).
What Is Peaceful Parenting?
At its core, Peaceful Parenting is about building strong, loving relationships based on mutual respect and understanding. Developed by Dr. Laura Markham, this approach is grounded in scientific research and emphasizes emotional intelligence, resilience, and a positive sense of self.
