Eleni Karacostas is an Entrepreneur, a Certified Peaceful Parenting Coach and a mother of two. Her experience with parenting made her realize that best practices for raising children based on the latest brain research, were very little known to most parents around the globe. Having experienced the tremendous difference that these practices made in her family, she set out to contribute, together with other like-minded professionals, in passing the message across. She founded Parenting.Today, an online parent coaching platform that makes it easy for parents to get all the information and tools they need to raise self-confident, emotionally intelligent children, tailored to their individual, unique family. She studied Business Administration and Entrepreneurship in Boston and pursued an MBA in Industry Analysis and Marketing in Milan. She worked for years in the wine and beverage industry, in imports, marketing and distribution, until she had her son in 2015 and started researching parenting practices, with the aim of doing the best she could for him as a mother. Through her research, she discovered a strong personal interest and pursued it with passion, which led her 8 years later to make a full career change and become professionally involved in supporting parents. Her vision is to reach as many families as possible, and to give each child the childhood that they deserve.
