Anna is a dedicated parenting coach and experienced healthcare professional with over 20 years of expertise in pediatric and mental health nursing. She founded Nurturing Parenthood with a heartfelt passion for supporting parents and caregivers as they navigate the challenges of raising emotionally healthy children.

Described by her clients as "down-to-earth, with a natural, intuitive manner and excellent listening ability," Anna is known for her supportive, compassionate, and practical approach to empowering parents. Her work is deeply rooted in evidence-based strategies and enriched by her own journey as a mother of three, including a tween and a teen.

Her personal parenting philosophy was shaped during a pivotal life transition—relocating to the Dandenong Ranges during her third pregnancy. Realizing the limited support available for mothers beyond the newborn stage, she became committed to creating a nurturing community where parents of all stages and backgrounds can access resources, build connections, and grow in confidence.

Clients praise Anna’s ability to "encourage parents to step into their children's shoes, understand emotions, and work through challenges with calm and empathy." One parent shared: "I have a lot of medical trauma from having a premmie, and Anna’s support and care made all the difference. I’m so grateful for her.”

Through Nurturing Parenthood, Anna offers both group programs and one-on-one coaching, specializing in the highly regarded Tuning into Kids program. Her mission is simple: to make parenting support more accessible, practical, and tailored to meet the real-world needs of families.

Let Anna help you strengthen your connection with your children and build a brighter future for your family.
