Chanie is a mother of eight and grandmother to thirteen (under the age of fifty)

Having grown up in a very religious environment, she adhered to the expectation of marrying someone she had never met at the age of 18. She was left with silently needing to navigate marital conflict and contending with pregnancies and birthing a new child every other year until a crisis brought her to search outside that community in the transformational disciplines.

This journey led her to realize that her true calling was not in teaching high school, a role she had held for 18 years, but in helping others with what she needed to learn the hard way: and then studied extensively, on how to heal childhood trauma and become a far better parent than her own upbringing had equipped her to be.

Chanie’s mission is to help people heal before they pass on what their parents hadn’t healed.

She has now founded the Peak Parenting Academy and stands for a new tradition in which parents don't wait until their shortcomings with their children are so obvious they need to turn for help. Instead, they begin long before conception, embracing and effectively addressing the seeds of potential limitations. The goal is to guide individuals towards becoming loving parents before their children are even born.

Chanie provides guidance on how to be a champion of your own child’s magnificence from the moment of birth.
