Hi, I am Fabiana!
An expat mom of two curious kids, a Certified Parent Coach and founder of Growing Together.
6 international relocations, including 3 with two young children.
My own parenting journey began abroad, and over the years, I’ve experienced:
Life across 3 continents, parenting through diverse cultures.
A 4-year career break and the emotional complexity of returning to corporate finance.
The arrival of a second child, bringing joy, sibling rivalry, and emotional regression.
These beautiful and overwhelming experiences taught me the emotional depth of parenting abroad, and the resilience it takes to show up with love, presence, and attunement.
The transformative path toward becoming a Conscious Parent.
I’m originally from Southern Italy, where family, loyalty, and emotional connection are at the heart of life. Despite my cultural richness, I grew up developing an anxious attachment style, which, during my early motherhood, blurred the line between love and emotional dependency.
I grew to be a “good girl”: a people pleaser, flexible, peaceful, and kind always. But underneath conflict avoidant, fearful of judgment, controlling myself to stay in “peace” with others. As a new mother, my inner child turned out to be deeply empathetic and attuned but often neglecting my own needs.
I felt torn between my love for my children and the frustration at losing space for myself. I found myself stuck in cycles of reactivity, guilt, and confusion. Yelling and struggling identifying the “why” behind any behaviours and not focusing on what my kids were communicating me with that. My goal was to get rid of the reactions and not reading the symptom, missing the opportunity to connect with their individualities.
What I didn’t realize at the time was that my struggle wasn’t about my children behaviour at all—it was about my own relationship with emotions, mistakes, and connection. In those moments of doubt, one song became my anchor: “The power is here now” by Alexia Chellun.
Those words kept circling in my head. Feeling unprepared, struggling to find the right tools, I immersed myself in the theory of Secure Attachment (John Bowlby) and the techniques of Emotion Coaching (John Gottman). Through reflection, healing, and emotional work, I’ve grown into a securely attached parent—offering my children the stable, loving foundation I once longed for.
During one of our family relocation, I realized that my passion for parenting was not meant to serve only my own family, but also the many parents and children longing for compassionate support. Guided by this purpose, I made the life-changing decision to leave behind a 10-year international career and follow my true vocation giving life to Growing Together—a practice born from research, study, lived experience, and heartfelt challenges.
My years in corporate life taught me about strategy, discipline, and leadership. But quietly, in the background, I felt a growing calling toward something deeper: supporting the little leaders of tomorrow and the parents guiding them today. That’s where I discovered my truest impact—and my greatest joy.
With a growth mindset, I believe that parenting isn’t about perfection, it’s about showing up, learning and repairing, one moment at a time.
When we choose presence over perfection, compassion over control, and connection over chaos, we don’t just raise a child — we raise the future.
Thank you for being here.
Together we can make a difference, one conscious parent at a time.
With warmth,
Faby
Meet my life
Relocating to Kuala Lumpur at 34 weeks pregnant with our first son Jacopo. Smiling at life while finding a new home, a gynaecologist, and managing a cross-continental move with my husband. My sister on the right.
Pumping for Althea to grow — a journey marked by love, patience, and resilience. Between my first and second child, I experienced the loss of two pregnancies, moments that deepened my empathy and shaped the way I support parents through their own challenges and transitions.
A big fan of nature, we find calm, reflection and inspiration in the outdoors.
Recently, thanks to a friend, I discovered the calming world of pottery — a space where I can practice patience, presence, and the art of slowing down.
Each place we’ve called home has gifted us new lessons, friendships, and ways of seeing the world — shaping our family into citizens of the world, connected by experience and curiosity.

We all carry echoes of the parenting we once received: the tone of voice, the support (or absence of it), the ways we were guided or misunderstood. Our parenting style isn’t something we consciously select—it grows from lived experiences, daily pressures, and what we’ve come to know.
But there is another way. By bringing awareness to these patterns—our triggers, reactions, and unhealed stories—we can stop them from silently flowing into our children and future generations. Conscious Parenting opens the door to connection, healing, and a more nurturing legacy for your family.
No matter what life brings, Conscious parenting offers a model to help you change the narrative and break the cycle, creating a foundation of trust, love, respect and Secure Attachment.
