Karina's experience
Karina Lane is a certified parenting coach, educator and author of Chilled Out Mum. She has spent more than two decades working in the field of behavioural change and emotional intelligence, working initially with inmates and offenders, and now with parents.
Karina spent 12 years working with inmates and offenders in a variety of settings, running groups on behavioural change, addiction, anger management and domestic and family violence.
This experience helped her understand the importance of parent-child interactions, meeting children’s needs effectively and emotion regulation. With this knowledge and four children of her own, she moved into the parenting field where she educates and coaches parents to raise emotionally intelligent, happy and healthy children. She also emphasises the importance of mental health and wellbeing for parents.
Karina teaches parents and professionals how to connect and communicate with children to build trust, develop emotional intelligence, and guide behaviour effectively. As a mother of four, she knows how demanding parents can be and it’s this personal experience that helps her communicate with authenticity, warmth and humour.
Karina self-published her first book, Chilled Out Mum in 2022. She also has an online parent coaching program that helps parents work on themselves and expand their parenting skillset.
Karina is an accredited parenting educator in Circle of Security, Tuning Into Kids and Tuning Into Teens. She has delivered early parenting classes for Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney and is a registered group facilitator for Corrective Services NSW.
