“You have brought (us) one of the best gifts…you have opened our eyes to another kind of parenting…I often think that maybe it would have been better not to attend the first workshop you did because you opened an infinite box in front of us and as you know keeping us aware is something really difficult, wonderful but difficult. What I can tell you is that today our family is much more united. I know our daughters are growing up in a better place thanks to you, not perfect, but much more better. Thank you once again.”
~ A.M., father of 2 daughters, Spain
“Freedom is a really difficult thing for parents to give, but not always bad if it’s conscious. The freedom they provide me with every day to make my own choices and decisions gave me independence and showed me that the decisions I make have a big impact on my life and my relationships. They gave me the space to make mistakes and to learn how to deal with them by myself (but always with guidance and support). It didn’t only help my decision-making skills and my independence, but also my behaviour towards them. I started appreciating more everything they do for me, and started being able to understand why we fight when we do, or why they get mad when they do because we all started being able to communicate those feelings to each other with love more than anger.”
~ Jimena, 15 year old daughter, Spain
“Instead of racing through my unending list, I came to Arleen’s workshop and realized I was exactly where I needed to be. I stopped running and started ‘listening’, ‘re-evaluating’ and ‘re-prioritizing’. Her course provides a ‘key’ to understanding ‘language and behaviours’ rooted in our own upbringing and beliefs. It is a roadmap to connection with our children and loved ones.”
— B., Mother, Singapore
“As a mother of three wonderful persons, I came to Arleen because of my 17 year, youngest son. I felt so much fear of losing him, that I became the worried mother I didn’t want to be. While all I wished for him was to step into the world feeling trusted and supported. Not held back by my fear. So I needed help!
Being the thoughtful, kind and knowledgeable woman Arleen is, she gracefully guided me to find my own answers and truths.
Arleen never came with solutions but handed me lovingly, possibilities.
Our sessions helped me to investigate my deeply hidden beliefs, and to make me see that the changes needed to come from me, not from my son.
I’m deeply grateful for Arleen’s wisdom, not seldomly wrapped in a delightful lightness.”
~ M.D., mother of 3 children over 17yo, Holland
“The Parenting for Humans course run by Arleen is life-transforming! Her course (which I did twice), made me realise that we are not alone in this beautiful, yet challenging parenting journey and our feelings and struggles are all valid. Through her course I learnt the tools needed to be a better and calmer mother and to build a stronger connection with my children. Thank you Arleen for your passion, dedication and invaluable insights and learnings. You are one of a kind!”
~ Sara, kids 3 and 6 yrs old, Malta
“Thank you for showing me the different facets and dimensions as a parent and looking at children from a different lens. Please keep up your good work. The world needs more people like yourself.”
~ Karen, Singapore
“I highly recommend Arleen’s ‘Parenting for Humans Journey’. Although I already knew a lot about conscious parenting and trauma, her workshop was a great deep dive and gave me new insights and a perspective change. I did the workshop twice and each time had different helpful insights for my family and myself. With carefully chosen resources, questions to journal about and hands-on examples, you can reflect and learn. I saw Arleen evolve over the courses and adding new learnings each time to make this workshop even more valuable. Her empathetic, authentic and vulnerable way of facilitating this course opens up the space to feel understood and held, creating a beautiful community of conscious parents. Thank you Arleen!”
~ Merle, mother of 3 and 1 yr old, Germany
“I cannot praise Arleen's 1:1 conscious parenting sessions enough. When I felt like I was losing my mind, being pulled in every direction by my children, the one-hour safe space sessions she offered helped immensely in grounding me. I can't express how monumental her sessions, along with her breathwork, mantra, and visualization techniques, have been for me. Arleen is a true gem, and I’m so happy our paths crossed in Bali. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Thank you, Arleen, for all that you do!”
