Sana is a certified Parent Educator from Positive Discipline Association of United States and a licensed ADHD Parent Coach from ADHD Parent Coach Academy (APCA). Her mission is to help parents find the joy in parenting through embracing a respectful parenting paradigm, one that focuses on connection, compassion, and collaboration.

Sana believes self-healing is crucial to respectful parenting and thus approaches all parenting struggles through a trauma-informed lens. She recognizes mindfulness and self-compassion are key to healing and positive relationships, and has thus completed a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction certificate course. She has also studied under Dr Kristin Neff to learn about her evidence-based Mindful Self-Compassion model.

Sana’s particular area of interest is helping shift the mainstream perspective on children with special/ additional needs. To this end, Sana has received special training in helping explosive children with behavioral challenges, using Dr Ross Greene’s model of Collaborative and Proactive Solutions. She also has a certificate in introductory level DIR and DIRFloortime therapy, a compassionate and evidence-based model to support, and teach skills to children with higher support needs.

For the last 3-4 years, Sana has been working closely with Maryam to build a community of respectful parents worldwide. She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and two children
