About Us

Welcome! I am Rowena Piek.

My goal is to help mums and dads all over the world have a fulfilled family life and help you make your dreams come true. 

I have set out to provide tools and inspiration for you to make the necessary changes, so you can move forward reaching out for your goals. Our goals are different for each and every one of us: we all want different things in life, but in the end we all need to DO the same to reach them: We need to stretch ourselves! That's right: STRETCH! We are human beings and all of us have the need to grow and stretch ourselves for us to taste true happiness and to feel fulfilled.

So what has all of this to do with "Passionate Parenting"? Well, your fulfilment and happiness has everything to do with passionate parenting. In my opinion: Home is where the heart is and everything starts there. And also: by you reaching your full potential, you can give the best to your children and teach them to do the same thing! After all: they are the future. Just think about that for a moment: The better a person you are, the more you have to give, the more you give, the better the world. So: For you to change the world, even on a small scale: start with yourself!

But don't you find that as a parent you sometimes are so stuck in a rut? So stuck in the "living from day to day": You look after the children, take them to school or nursery, you go to work, do the shopping, cook dinner, children to bed, have a chat with your spouse or friend, check your emails or facebook, watch a bit of TV or a film, read a little, do a bit of sport, walk the dog..... really the list is endless, but the point is: Life takes over and sometimes we are so on automatic pilot, that before we know it a whole week has gone past and when you come to think of it or look back...... you are still in the same place as you were a week ago, a month ago, maybe even a year or worse, years ago. You might feel you have not gone forward, haven't achieved anything, haven't grown, and wondering: Is this what life is all about?

I am not sure about you, but I for sure have been there. Even though you can feel blessed, you get confronted with that "empty space". Life had gone by and another chunk of time is gone, without you really making the most of it. We live in a world now, a fast world, whereby everything is done fast and is at the end of your fingertips: No more waiting for a letter for days: Just quickly text! No more shopping next week: Order it online today and receive it tomorrow. No more waiting months to see if it is a boy or a girl - let's have an early scan and as soon as we know whether it's a boy or a girl, we go and get the paint and buy some clothes. I am not prescribing this is right or wrong: Gosh, a weekly grocery shop delivered to my door is an absolute God Send. The point I am making is that as technology moves forward and the world is moving in a more fast-paced way, so do we. We expect everything quicker and more efficient. We do not slow down instead we try to cram in even more! It can result in us going around so fast; we actually lose sight of what is important. We lose touch with what we really want from our lives. Rarely taking a step back to reflect. And so you look back at when you take your baby to school at the age of five and wondering where the heck the time went. Sometimes even wishing you could do it all over again.....

I am here to help you, make the most of your life, help you to get back in touch with what it is that you truly desire for your life, so you can look back one day and say to your children: "I have no regrets", "I lived life fully", isn't that what we all want?

So it's time to WAKEY WAKEY, become more aware and design a life you love. And if any of this resonates something within you, it is time to get of your butt and make a change!
"Oh, but I can't just do what I want" some might think. "I can't just hand in my resignation to my boss, as much as I want to" - No, maybe not today, BUT....... And believe me...... it's a big BUT.......
HERE'S THE SECRET........Life moves in mysterious ways. And if you don't believe me, give this a shot:
When you stop and think what really lights your fire and what really floats your boat, things will (as if by magic) appear.  It happened for me and it can happen for you.

It starts with you really taking one step back and taking a look at your life and see what you want and where you want to be heading. And then you need to start focussing on it. And when you start focussing, you'll find things will appear and come on your path. It's called "The Law of Attraction".
Let me and this blog help you in any way I can. All you need to do is to decide you want to move forward. I really enjoy helping people move forward and I give my very best. This combined with my experiences: 

I have loved and I have lost, 
I have lost and I have won,
I have given birth and grieved,
I have fallen and stood up,
I have rebuilt, fought and cried.

All of this made me who I am today and I am proud to say: I have never given up (apart from smoking)! 
Born and raised in The Netherlands, expect me to give it to you straight up, without sugar coating. And even though I am much organised, I do like to go off on a little incy wincey side path at times. I am now located in the UK and am helping people find their passion and getting on the desired path.

I have mastered a few valuable skills along the way, which I would love to share with people. We all need a helping hand, so if you feel you need one too: all you need to do is get in touch - Simple :)

Wishing you happiness and love,

Rowena x
