Meet Our Founder & Lead Instructor
Hello! I’m Gloria, but many know me as Miss Gigi—a mother, educator, and passionate advocate for holistic caregiving. As a mother of four, I understand firsthand the joys, challenges, and uncertainties that come with parenthood. My personal experiences, combined with over two decades of professional work with families, have shaped my deep commitment to guiding caregivers through the beautiful yet complex journey of raising children.
My career began with a deep curiosity about infant development, sleep, and family dynamics, leading me to earn a degree in psychology. Over the years, I expanded my expertise, becoming a Newborn Care Practitioner, Pediatric Sleep Practitioner, Licensed Massage Therapist, and Craniosacral Therapist. Each step in my journey reinforced my belief in a holistic, evidence-based approach to caregiving—one that nurtures not just the baby but also the well-being of the entire family.
Recognizing a gap in comprehensive, high-quality education for caregivers, I founded Modern Parenthood Institute—a place where aspiring professionals can receive practical, research-backed training in newborn care, pediatric sleep consulting, and parent coaching. My goal is to support students with both knowledge and confidence, ensuring they feel prepared to support families with skill, compassion, and integrity.
Currently, I’m furthering my education by earning a doctorate in holistic therapy and counseling, allowing me to integrate mind-body wellness into my teaching. At Modern Parenthood Institute, we believe that caregiving is more than a skill—it’s an art, a calling, and a journey of continuous learning.
Whether you're here to become a certified newborn care specialist, pediatric sleep consultant, or parent coach, I’m honored to be a part of your path. I invite you to learn, grow, and step into this rewarding field with confidence.
Welcome to Modern Parenthood Institute—where education meets empowerment.
