✨ Meet Lina: Heart‑Centered Parent Coach & Educator
Lina Lie is a parent coach and educator dedicated to nurturing the health and harmony of the entire family. As the founder of The Heartful Mama, Lina supports parents in becoming the sturdy, peaceful leaders their homes need—grounded, compassionate, and aligned with their values.

Drawing from evidence-based practices and her own lived experience as a mother, she creates warm, reflective spaces where parents feel seen, supported, and empowered. She believes that when parents are anchored and supported to be the best version of themselves, the whole family flourishes.

🗣️ What Parents Say
Lina has been such a gift to our family! Before our coaching we struggled with the cycle of parent guilt. Working with Lina each week helped walk us through the steps of how to become secure and lovingly connected to our kids. We learned what our own triggers were, where they came from and worked towards finding solutions and skills so we can manage the high stress life of parenting four boys! We now feel equipped to handle all that comes our way with all that we have learned. Lina is so kind and has cheered us on week by week without judgement. We are so grateful to have been coached by Lina! ~ Alyssa M, Huntington Beach, CA, USA
I am very grateful to Lina for helping to transform my parenting in a lasting way. I read all the parenting books and listened to all the parenting podcasts. While helpful, sometimes even revelatory, the advice given was always very hard to implement. Lina's coaching fixed that problem for me. I was able to describe actual situations where I knew I wasn't being the best parent and Lina gave me step-by-step instructions and even sample scripts to follow. I should be clear that Lina is not a micromanager nor prescriptive; she met me where I was and gave me what I needed to be able to turn the situation around. Because she was able to get to the heart of my parenting speed bumps, I was able to apply her action plans to several different situations. I am also now keenly aware of what triggers my less-than-stellar parenting and try my best to pause, step back, calm myself, then guide my kids. I know I am not at the end of my journey, but I definitely feel more confident in myself and my parenting. ~ Kate R., Katonah, NY, USA
I have felt so so stuck for so so so long and I finally can breathe as a person and as a mother. You've really helped me through the gunk and I am so so thankful for giving me such a safe non-judgemental space for me to pour my heart out and just be me. I have never gotten such a chance all my life and you have given me that. You've helped me reach a point in my parenting and relationship with my daughter where I never thought I could be. I am able to connect with her, I am able to have joy and to play with her and appreciate her for who she is and that's because of your coaching and also this programme. It is absolutely life-changing and I really really thank you. Thank you for giving me hope and that spark to keep trying and to show up everyday. ~ Atikah K., Singapore
