Hi, I’m Alida.

the heart behind NOW is You.

I’m a conscious parenting coach, passionate about helping parents break free from old patterns, reconnect with themselves, and create deeper, more meaningful relationships with their children.

My journey into conscious parenting began when I stepped back from the fast pace of life to reflect on what truly mattered to me and how I want to live the one life I have.

As I discovered conscious parenting, a whole new world opened up for me - a world of self-discovery, healing, and deeper connection.

I learned that parenting isn’t just about raising your child; it’s about reparenting yourself while guiding them. Parenting has been my greatest teacher, revealing the unhealed parts of myself and leading me toward a life of presence, self-compassion, and growth.

Through my work, I help parents step into the now, embrace their humanity, and move towards a more aligned and fulfilled personal and family life. I believe that when we care for ourselves deeply, we can pour that same care and love into our families and the world around us.

I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s explore what it means to live and parent consciously - starting NOW.

authenticity, aboundance, and love - shine brightly, live fully and connect deeply.

NOW is YOU

The name 'NOW is You' reflects the essence of what I teach: the power of presence, self-connection, and conscious living in both parenting and life.

NOW

The present moment is all we ever truly have. Life happens now—not in the past or the future. Lessons from the past are applied now, and every step toward the future is taken in this moment.

All we have is NOW.

is

Children live effortlessly in the present moment—they are. They remind us how to simply be. To grow, we must embrace presence and learn to be human beings, not just human doings. When you nurture your "being," you bring more energy and intention into your "doing."

you

Parenting begins with YOU. The relationship you cultivate with yourself shapes how you show up for your children, your loved ones, and the world around you.

It all starts with YOU.
NOW.

NOW is You.

Brand pillars

These are the 4 brand pillars I base my work on:

Self-Awareness

When you understand your triggers and beliefs, you can approach parenting and life with more clarity and intention.

Empowerment

With the right tools and support, you can feel confident, capable, and ready to tackle parenting challenges with calm and love.

Connection

When you show up with intention, you build deeper bonds with your children based on trust, understanding, and respect.

Growth

Every challenge is an opportunity to grow stronger, wiser, and more aligned with the parent you want to be.

My unique approach

  • I meet you where you are.

    Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just curious about new ways to parent.

  • hold a safe space for you.

    Where you feel truly heard and understood without judgment. Together, we unpack challenges in a way that feels supportive and empathetic.

  • I EMPOWER you to grow.

    While I offer compassion, I also provide guidance to stretch you just enough to see what’s possible.

let's talk

Coaching isn’t about giving advice - it’s about guiding you to uncover your own wisdom, gain confidence, and grow into the parent you truly want to be.

Some kind words from my wonderful clients…

  • “Having a session with Alida is a profound experience. She has a unique talent for getting to the root of the issue quickly and reconstructing it in a way that leaves me feeling empowered. Alida’s empathy, understanding, and knowledge are truly unmatched. I would absolutely 💯 recommend Alida’s coaching to anyone who is ready to make positive, lasting changes—it truly is a life-changing experience! ❤️🙏😍”

    — Fiona

  • “Alida is a true gem. She radiates light and knowledge. I’ve had some struggles with my teenage daughter, and after every conversation with her I feel more empowered. I can say that my connection to my kids has improved thanks to Alida.”

    — Julia

  • “Thanks to Alida's help I was able to rediscover sides of myself that were obscured by tiredness and the expectations I had set for myself as a mother/wife/woman. Thanks to her advice I was able to help myself understand what triggered some reactions in me that I didn't like or in which I no longer saw myself. She was very patient and welcoming with me and my “issues”, I never felt uncomfortable or judged. She is a valid professional who, with her kindness and determination, makes you open your eyes and see your potential, giving weight to the positive rather than the negative. Thanks Alida ❤️”
