Hi! I’m Hend. I am a conscious parenting coach and mindfulness meditation teacher.
When I became a mother in 2014, my life changed in ways I never expected. Despite having achieved mainstream success; academic qualifications, a successful career, and a seemingly complete family, I felt far from my true self.
Confusion, doubt, and guilt became constant companions on my parenting journey. Despite my business background, experience as a Chartered Financial Analyst, and having implemented enterprise resource planning projects, organisation restructuring, merger and acquisition deals, I didn’t feel confident to parent my own child. I had no idea what to do. I did, however, know one thing: that the traditional dogmatic hierarchical parenting approach did not resonate with me. My quest for a more compassionate way of parenting led me to conscious parenting, which has brought authenticity, connection, and joy into my home.
I am passionate about sharing this gift with you and supporting you on your own parenting journey. I graduated from Dr. Shefali’s Conscious Parenting Coaching Institute and I am a Peaceful Parenting Educator certified by Dr. Laura Markham’s Aha Parenting.
My studies in mindfulness include a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program with Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield, as well as courses in Spiritual Psychology with Suzi Lula, Interpersonal Neurobiology with Dr. Dan Siegel from The Mindsight Institute, and The Emotion Code with Dr. Bradley Nelson from Discover Healing. Additionally, I have completed the Professional Coach Program certified by the International Coach Federation (ICF).
Beyond my professional qualifications
Beyond my professional qualifications, I cherish simple pleasures. I find magic in books and consider them my companions. Watching a sunset by the beach, listening to the waves, feeling the sand between my toes, and running bring me alive.
I value highly the time I spend with my family. Together, we enjoy laughter, exploration, experiences and play alongside the process of continually learning to embrace our sadness, anger, and disappointments with compassion.
One of my favorite quotes is by Jon Kabat-Zinn, a scientist, writer, and meditation teacher:
“You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.”
As a former perfectionist, I used to strive for control, believing that life had to conform to my expectations. Today, I embrace challenges as catalysts for growth, knowing that pain can lead to profound personal transformation.
Favorite Literature
I find inspiration in poetry too. Jalal ad-Din Mohamed Rumi, known as Rumi, and Khalil Gibran are two poets whose words touch my heart and offer timeless wisdom.
As for books, “The Five Languages of Love” by Gary Chapman and Ross Campbell has taught me the importance of understanding and expressing love in a way that resonates with each individual. “The Awakened Family” by Dr. Shefali Tsabary has revolutionized my perspective on parenting by focusing on raising the parent’s consciousness. And “Motherhood Evolution” by Suzi Lula redefines self-care, highlighting its essential role in personal growth and parenting.
