About This coach

Hi! I'm Michelle Tovar, parent coach, owner of Practical Life Parenting and a Montessori teacher of 25 years.


My mission is to help you learn respectful discipline tools with less yelling and more cooperation.


As a certified Jai Parenting Coach, Montessorian, ESE educator for over 25 years, I know unique strategies parents need. I know what works!


I’m a first-generation Colombian-American raising 3 boys (17, 15, 10) in a complex digital fast-moving world which makes it harder than ever to parent.


I am passionate about helping parents break cultural & generational patterns that are no longer serving them.


How can parents do better when the only “training” they’ve had was how they were parented in a completely different time?


I'm so grateful you found me here, and I promise to support you to become a calm confident leader for your kids.


You should also know these random but necessary facts about me...

I spent my last summer in college studying abroad 🇪🇸

I love wearing flip flops 🩴

The beach is my happy place 🌅

I’d prefer it to be 80 degrees all the time ☀️

I love adventuring with my family and friends 📸

I love yoga 🧘

What Makes THEM Special?

We’re a perfect match if……


You want an expert who knows children.

Followed leaders online, read tons of parenting books only to find that you just can’t apply it to your home life. As a parent coach, Montessori teacher and mom to 3 boys, I know unique strategies parents need. I know what works.


You want to be a calm, confident leader for your kids.

You’re blaming yourself? Letting those outside voices confuse you. Not holding limits? There’s no judgment, only compassion, guidance and support.


You want to parent differently than the way you were parented.

Spoiler alert: generational wounding doesn't just stop because you want it to.

Understanding deeply why your child’s behaviors are so triggering for you will surprise you and transform you.

Ready to start parenting with peace and connection?
