As a PCI Certified Parent Coach® and parent I can tell you that I far prefer coaching to consulting. I have hired a consultants in the past and although I trusted the people and knew that their hearts were in the right place, I left each session with the feeling that they did not KNOW me, my partner, or my child well enough to make recommendation in the span of a few hours. Coaching is a co-constructive process where we truly work together to create your ideal parenting future. Is is a life-long investment to sustainable change. I'm Amanda Tinnin, Abu Dhabi's PCI Certified Parent Coach®, and I would love to help you through the process of guiding you to your most confident and comfortable parenting self!

Forward-thinking individuals
In the in-take session, we decide if we can work together. The clients I look for are:
Seeking ways to be more respectful to themselves, their partner, and their child
Striving to be or are very open & authentic parents
Understanding that this is long-term transformation, and not a quick fix!
Keeping it real: For this process to work you must trust it IS WORKING!
