Welcome

I’m Vivian.

I support parents to connect more deeply with themselves, and with their children.

Work with Me

I am happy to see you here!

Maybe you’re here because you want to connect more deeply with your own feelings.

Or you want to get a sense of whether I might be a supportive and safe person to walk alongside you on your personal and parenting journey.

Whatever brought you here today, I’m glad you found your way. I hope you find what you’re looking for.

If you have any questions, you are warmly welcome to reach out.

If you’d like to learn more about me, I invite you to read here.

About Me!

Aware Parenting is a compassionate, attachment‑based and trauma‑informed approach developed by Aletha Solter, Ph.D. It supports children to stay connected to themselves - their feelings, their needs, their natural rhythms, and their inner wisdom.

It invites us, as parents, to look at many things that seem “normal” in our culture from a completely new perspective. It opens our minds to different ways of caring for our children - ways that move away from control and towards presence, trust, and connection.

At the heart of Aware Parenting is the understanding that children thrive when they experience being deeply seen, heard, and understood. Instead of using rewards, punishments, or control, Aware Parenting encourages us to build relationships based on authenticity, trust, and presence.

Working with Me

Working with me is an invitation to come back to yourself - to your feelings, your inner world, and the deeper connection with your child.

I support you with the Aware Parenting approach at heart, offering a warm, safe space to explore what is happening beneath the surface - in you, in your child, and in your relationship together.

Together we cultivate more presence, clarity, and connection - within yourself and in your parenting.

Reflections from parents who invited me into their journey:

“Working 1:1 with Vivian has been and continues to be so supportive. Her gentle approach creates a space where I feel genuinely seen and validated. She brings such warmth, compassion, and deep empathy to every session and I feel much less alone in my challenges. Vivian’s insights have helped me understand myself and my child on many new levels, and her playful, creative ideas make the hard moments feel lighter. What I treasure most is how she’s helped me welcome the different parts of myself that show up in my parenting journey, with gentleness and curiosity instead of judgment. And aways at a pace that feels gentle. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

Working with Vivian has and is profoundly shaping the way I am able to show up in my parenting. Her loving and empathic support enables me to go deep into my younger parts and offer them what they long to hear. This gives me more compassion and capacity to parent more often in the way I want to. I so look forward to every session and enjoy the feeling of acceptance and spaciousness that I am left with afterwards. I am so willing for you to experience Vivian’s work too!!

"I really appreciate our sessions and the way you gently invite me to go deeper and explore things in a way that just isn’t possible on my own. I’ve been feeling a lot of gratitude for you and for the changes I’ve seen in myself over the time we’ve been working together. The transformation I’ve experienced since we started is huge, and I feel really grateful for that."

Hannah
"Vivian has the magical power to tune in to what is showing up, with warm compassion and healing playfulness. I feel so deeply grateful having received so amazing support from her. Being held by Vivian in my emotional process was deeply healing, eye opening and brought me many shifts. I can easily tap back into the experience and the new feelings, helping me remind myself of the shifts. "

Laura
"Working with Vivian both 1:1 and in a group setting has been truly magical for me in my parenting journey. I have learned to be present with my kids in a way I’ve never been before, and I’ve felt supported and carried in the process. I would recommend any parent with a need to connect more with their kids or listen more to their own feelings to meet Vivian."

A parent I journeyed with
"I have worked with Vivian for several years in courses and 1-1 coaching and I am always amazed by the value of the work she offers. She is a sensational space holder. The subtlety of the shifts in simply being heard and acknowledged is huge, in ways that my mind will not comprehend, but my body and heart will be transformed by."

Holly
"Vivian gets my very loveliest recommendations. What I especially adore about her is her playfulness and calm presence. She is a solid back-up and I am happy to have her as a valuable resource in my life. I also so admire her ability to play. I acknowledge that I have improved my own playing a lot, but Vivian you are just another level of playful!"
