About Mishka
Hi! I’m Mishka, a Certified Peaceful Parent Coach, coaching through the lens of Interpersonal Neurobiology, the science of love and attachment and relationships.
My three fabulous kids, ages toddler to teen, have kept me on my toes, and taught me so much. I am a people person, and love learning and sharing these amazing ways of being and ways of parenting, that bring so much more harmony and fun back to family life.
Welcome!
As an Interpersonal Neurobiology and Relational Neuroscience-based Parent Coach, specializing in relationship-based parenting, I love working with parents to help them build strong, healthy relationships with their children.
As a solo mom of 3 wonderful kids, I know what it’s like to parent in this wild and crazy world with all of it’s complexity and challenge, and constant curveballs.
My approach is both heart-forward, open and attuned, and based on the latest research in neuroscience and child development. These techniques are fun to learn and teach, feel good to implement and will bring lasting relief and joy to the entire family dynamic.
I am honored that you are here with me on this exploration of Parenting. It's so great to meet you. Thank you for being here.

All people want to feel connected. We strive for this connection and relationship, and it is biologically necessary for our well being, no matter our age.
As parents, our relationships with our children have such an impact on them and on us. It is our duty as parents to learn about attachment and development and how to offer safe connection. In turn, this effort comes back to us through our children’s love and warmth.
Once my first child was born, life quickly moved from theoretical to experiential, as I know so many of us have experienced. I wanted a strong loving connected relationship with my children, and learned quickly that it clearly would take more than love and good intentions to be a good parent, and there certainly was no manual!
I read all the books I could, but none quite feel right until I found Peaceful Parenting with Dr. Laura Markham.
This was where the parenting magic began for me, back in 2010, with her parenting mantra -Choose Love. Since then, my family has grown by two more children, trained directly with Dr. Markham as a Certified Peaceful Parenting Coach, and continued additional training in Somatics, Trauma, Polyvagal Theory, Interpersonal Biology, and others and have been lucky to be taught directly by the shining stars at the very heart of these matters, such as Dr. Daniel Siegel, Dr. Larry Cohen, and Dr. Mona Delahooke, among others.
.I know this works, as I’ve seen it transform my own family’s lives, and the lives of my clients and friends and colleagues. I would love to help you bring more peace and calm and connection to your family.
You all deserve this, and you can do it. I can show you how. And you. You can do it. And the best news of all is that the heart of it is in the connection, and in order to connect, you will take care of yourself, too.
It turns out that Peaceful Parenting is good for the whole family, and can bring you more calm, centered, presence as well. It’s a gift for each of us.
