About Michelle Henning

Certified Peaceful Parenting Coach (Dr Laura Markham, Aha! Parenting), Certified Nutrition & Health Coach (IINH, UKIHCA), author of Grow Healthy Babies, former Waldorf School teacher, and mom.

Being a parent is a journey filled with joy, love, and, of course, challenges. If you're looking for a guiding hand to help navigate this journey in a more peaceful way, then you've come to the right place. I'm Michelle Henning, and I'm here to support you.

My approach to Peaceful Parenting comes from a place of deep understanding and empathy. Having struggled in school due to undiagnosed dyslexia and ADHD, I am no stranger to adversity. I understand what it feels like to face obstacles and how to navigate them with compassion. Now, as a mother to a delightful little one, my dream is to help others enjoy the parenting journey and make it as fulfilling and stress-free as possible.

As a former teacher at a Waldorf school, I have a first-hand understanding of child development and education. My academic and professional background is rooted in Nutrition & Health Coaching, a path I pursued at the Irish Institute of Nutrition & Health (IINH). Over the years, I have coached individuals and families on achieving overall health and well-being. I’m a registered member of the UK & International Health Coaching Association (UKIHCA).

I’m also the author of the best-selling book Grow Healthy Babies, a practical, easy guide for expecting parents, which has been praised as “one of the best books I have ever read” by Dr Karen Joash, Director of Medical Education at Imperial College London & NHS Trust. My articles have been featured in publications such as WIRED Magazine, Pathways to Family Wellness, and BabyCenter, amongst others.

The central theme of my work is how to enhance the enjoyment of parenting while improving the health and happiness of the entire family - without guilt or regret. Today, I am based in Norway and excited to work with parents from around the world. Combining my background in health coaching, my training with Dr Laura Markham, and my experiences as a mother and teacher, I provide tailored guidance for every unique parenting journey.

You don't have to navigate your parenting challenges alone. I am here to support you every step of the way. Please reach out for a free 20-minute consultation!
