Child Development &
Parenting Specialist
Parenting doesn't come with a manual.
Let's navigate it together.
Let's be honest—you've tried everything. The late-night Google searches. The highlighted parenting books stacked on your nightstand. The well-intentioned advice from family members who've "been there."
Yet here you are, wondering why simple daily routines like bedtime, car rides, or meals often turn into struggles with your children, or why the end of screen time regularly leads to emotional outbursts that leave everyone drained.

We are supporting parents of children from early childhood through adolescence.

Testimonials
What do our clients say?
I want to thank you for the help with my teenage son and the support during a difficult time. I turned to you following a complex period with my boy, and you managed to help me both with him and with the rest of the children, as well as to accept myself as a mother and love myself.
I felt that I was not alone in this story (a feeling that, especially for mothers in relocation, is priceless) and you truly provided answers to even the toughest questions, and above all, a very deep understanding of the situation.
- Tania, Bulgaria, parent of a teenage boy
A month into their new school, all three of my girls are thriving, and I feel like we won the lottery. We wouldn’t have gotten here, especially with our middle daughter, without your guidance.
The improvement is very noticeable: She’s doing wonderfully socially and loves the challenge of her personal research project. She finds math and science hard, but what matters most is that she isn’t ashamed to say so and asks for help when she needs it. Seeing her feel comfortable naming what’s difficult, and knowing that it’s okay, brings me to tears of happiness. In the areas where she shines, her teachers truly see her and are excited about her, and that means everything.
- Monica, Spain, parent of three girls
I cannot recommend Yana highly enough!
I first heard about Yana through recommendations in a local moms’ group when I was looking for someone to help my daughter, who was 16 at the time, navigate some emotional challenges related to body image, anxiety, self-confidence, and social difficulties.
Before beginning the sessions, Yana took the time to have a thorough conversation with us to truly understand our daughter’s situation and the challenges she was facing. From the very beginning, we were impressed by her honesty, transparency, professionalism, and genuine humility.
The connection between Yana and our daughter was immediate and truly remarkable. In just a few sessions, Yana helped her make incredible progress in managing anxiety, navigating social challenges, building confidence, and coping with the loneliness that teenagers can sometimes experience when relocating to a new country.
What made Yana especially exceptional was her dedication beyond the sessions themselves. Throughout the process, she stayed in close contact with us through WhatsApp, regularly checking in, asking thoughtful questions, sharing updates, and showing genuine care for our daughter’s well-being, without ever charging extra for her time or attention.
Yana is incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, compassionate, and professional. She helped our daughter, and our entire family, work through challenges that at times had felt almost impossible to overcome.
I wholeheartedly recommend Yana to any parent looking for meaningful support and guidance. She is equally wonderful at working one-on-one with children and teenagers and at providing guidance and support to parents.
Yana is truly an exceptional professional and an even more exceptional human being. Her sensitivity, empathy, dedication, and ability to connect with young people make her someone we will always be grateful for.
