About Angela

Hey there! I'm Angela, a mother of two amazing grown boys—even if I do say so myself! My parenting journey led me down a few paths I never expected, like diving into the fascinating world of child development and discovering so much about myself and my childhood along the way.

As an expat who has travelled the world, I've had the privilege of experiencing diverse cultures and perspectives, which greatly enriched my approach to parenting. These experiences have shaped me into the parent and advocate I am today.

As a young mother, I was determined to give my boys a more nurturing upbringing than I had myself. So I embarked on this wild journey of self-discovery and self-directed education. I became fascinated by the brain and mind, achieving certificates and diplomas in neurodevelopment programs, psychology, applied neuroscience, and finally pursuing a degree in childhood and youth studies. Along the way, I found that mindfulness was the foundation for bringing it all together in my life and my parenting practice

Now, I want to share what I've learned with other parents. I created Raising Change to apply the science of child development to the art of parenting and guide parents on their own mindfulness journey, helping them find more ease and confidence in the magical process of parenting.

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
