About Monica W. Ly
As a parent who has raised 2 young kids as a single mom for 10 years, and now part of a blended family of 8, and living in a multigenerational household, I understand the struggles of parenting whether you’re a parent or guardian, a single parent or navigating parenting within blended and multigenerational families.
I attended University of California, Irvine and majored in Social Science with a minor in Sociology. I also received a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from New College of San Francisco.
I am also a Certified Parent Coach thru the Jai Institute for Parent Coaching and can support you at all stages of your parenting journey.
I’ve also spent many years before kids working for various social justice causes and in education. I have been part of a cooperative that produces a Summer Camp for youth to learn about their culture and history thru the arts. I’ve also spent several years working with middle and high school students in media production.
In the past few years, I’ve also been homeschooling my kids. Currently they are in a hybrid homeschooling program that blends homeschooling and public schooling.
I am committed to helping other parents decolonize their parenting and uncover new ways of being with their children that doesn’t involve yelling, punishments and bribes.
I am also a Certified Sound Therapist thru Life Changing Energy using sound bowls and other sound therapy tools.
