Melissa Holland, M.S., Parent Coach
Wonder: A Confident Living Company
About Melissa
Melissa Holland is certified Parent Coach, with Wonder: A Confident Living Company. In addition to her time with Wonder, she is also the founder of “Inner Wisdom Parenting”.Â
She supports parents in addressing their children’s challenging behaviors, with online courses, workshops, coaching and consulting in the essential areas of emotional and self-regulation, self-compassion and mindfulness. She is an experienced coach and teacher, trained in a trauma-informed, relational neurosciences approach to parenting (for example, focusing on felt-safety in the nervous system).
She lives with her boys in Boulder, CO: the big one (husband), the little one (son) and the fuzzy one (Rocket, the Cat). When she’s not creating courses or supporting parents, she’s reading, learning, drinking coffee, feigning interest in Minecraft and Star Wars, reading about trail running (not actually running – yet) and hanging out with her favorite boys. Her motto to live by – lately – has been “hold it lightly”. She’s still learning how.
