HELLO

_{I am Louise-Ann Paris-Riviere, A family and child development consultant, a mum and the founder of The Whole Parenting and The Village Membership Community.}

_{I have spent all of my adult life learning about the psychology of human development. With a BSc in Behavioral Science, MSc Psychodynamics of Human Development, 2 years with the British Psychotherapy Foundation studying Infant Observations and over 18 years of working with children and families in private organizations and for the UK local government, I have a pretty good foundation and understanding of human psychological development, particularly that of a child. But most importantly, I am a mother with a good few years of practical mummy experience under my belt which has profoundly expanded my understanding and put all of my learning into raw, practical, in your face, first hand experience.} 

_{I talk and teach about identifying patterns and understanding the impact of unhelpful intergenerational transmission of parenting practices and cultural complexes in parenting and how we move forward in a more conscious peaceful way. One that nurtures and supports the growth and development of our children, all while encouraging discipline.} 

_{I am passionate about providing safe, nurturing spaces where black identifying parents can discuss parenting in culturally relevant ways and be supported as they learn and grow in more peaceful and conscious ways.} 

_{My mission is to create a movement that positively transforms our communities one family at a time, for generations to come and I hope you will join me.}
