Meet Mooniek, Parent Empowerment Coach!

I am passionate about meeting Moms and Dads who aim to make this world a great place for themselves and their families!

I’ve been a mom since 1996 and a parent empowerment coach since 2002. I truly love being a mom. It is the greatest joy and was the biggest challenge for a while.

Maybe just like you, I am always thinking about the best way to be a parent, for myself and others. And from what I have learned, raising kids well begins with knowing who I want to be, as a mom and as an individual. I have to know my vision or dreams for myself and my family. I believe, curiosity and self-development help in becoming empowered parents who can focus on raising empowered children. (That will help your kids to have a leg up. )

I want to share the practical tools of the Great Parents Empower course with you, and with other parents who want to become the mom or dad they always hoped they would be. Let me be your guide!

I Believe …

As I see it, we are raising kids into adults: the next leaders of this world. It is on us Moms and Dads to lead by example and to demonstrate self-awareness, emotional elasticity, compassion, fortitude, etc., as we navigate our complicated lives. How do we make things happen? Who do we need to be for our kids to become the people they can become?

I wish for parents to be examples of what empowerment looks like. That will help their kids so much 🙂

“Looking at my community …

‘and working with many clients, I saw that I was not alone: parenting can be hugely challenging.  Even though it can bring us a lot of joy, it can bring frustration and heartache too.

 It is so easy to become stuck in a rut of daily details, to become overwhelmed with the feeling that we must ‘do it all’, or to find ourselves falling into old, unhealthy, or ineffective patterns and actions. I definitely know what that feels like. It is easy to lose the inspiration we started with when we chose to become parents.”

“I Love …

… being a Mom: it is awe-inspiring to watch my child slowly grow into an adult. And it is amazing how I have developed myself at the same time 🙂 

Being a parent is a long and intense journey: it made me want to ‘grow.’ It taught me a tremendous amount about patience, love, and compassion. And, I discovered that life as a Mom isn’t over after 18 years! I happily keep tweaking my Mom-role as my adult child keeps changing ;)”

On Being a Parent Empowerment Coach …

“Knowing that many families struggle with the same challenges, and feeling compelled to help Moms and Dads find solutions, was a primary driving force to become the parent coach.

I mean, didn’t we think we would be able to pull off this parenting thing with ease before we had kids? Yes?

Then, let’s go back to our original inspiration and find the joy again.

To go from being an ordinary parent, parenting by default, to a great parent, we uncover the actions, behaviors, and choices people habitually follow, that keep them tied to mediocrity –the things they do that keep them trapped in a cycle of repetitions. (Have you noticed that hardly anyone dares call themselves a ‘great parent:’ these two words together can be so loaded.)

So in short, I help Moms and Dads uncover their strengths and weaknesses and find different perceptions and give them tips and tools so that they can become confident parents by trusting in themselves and their own wisdom again.”

Testimonials! What Parents Are Saying:

“I learned a huge amount from the course Great Parents Empower. There is parenting when the kids are little, but your whole approach is that this parent-child relationship goes on and on, it changes often and is very complicated, it is so full of life, filled with the good and the challenges…. I have opened my eyes to the complexity of the relationship and how much thought and care it takes over the years. People do not realize how complicated the parent-child relationship is.”

“The Great Parents Empower course should be offered to all parents through schools/PTAs/community centers. I would love to point parents towards this amazing resource to​ empower them as parents and not ask them to “fix” one more thing about their lives.”

“I have had a very positive experience with the Great Parents Empower Course and Mooniek.  She helps me to understand how being a confident, understanding person who loves himself can make me a better parent. Mooniek is a very nice, caring intelligent coach. She has been 100% dedicated to helping me reach my goals. One thing I’ve noticed is she’s not here to just be here, she’s here to help you succeed. I might come to class sometimes feeling a little down, but I always leave feeling great, happy & confident about myself. I look forward to every class. This has been a really good decision on my part & Mooniek has made a big difference in how I see myself as a person and as a Dad. We talk about my day and the stuff that I am going through and come up with practical solutions, using the material in the Course. I’m glad I decided to take a chance on GreatParentsEmpower. I suggest this course to every parent. Thank you for everything Mooniek!”
