Reparenting Coach
Unlearn what no longer serves you and reclaim who you truly are
Reparent Your Inner Child
Self-paced Experience to Transform Your Inner World
I’m Melissa Maouris and I've been a full time coach since 2017. I have trained in mindfulness, neuroscience and inner child work and specialise in Reparenting helping people embody their own ideal parent for themselves.
This unique experience to learn to Reparent Your Inner Child allows you to build your emotional resillience, self-trust and break down subconscious blocks that have been holding you back. What's different about this approach to inner child work is that it's fully experiential. Inside are a myriad of practises that take you from feeling lost in your old patterns, to an embodied, carefree version of yourself. Find out more below.
We Are All Children Trapped In Adult's Bodies
I spent years wondering why I couldn't move forward in certain areas of my life. Why I'd work myself sick trying to prove something. Why success felt like it required so much suffering.
Then I used inner child work to travel back to me at 18 when I failed my A-levels. I'd been so used to things being easy that I didn't study, and when the results came in, I felt sick. That was the moment I decided: I have to work really hard to succeed. Nothing comes easily. If I rest, I'll fail.
For over twenty years, that 18-year-old ran my life. She pushed me to work when I should rest. She made me believe I was never doing enough. She was terrified of ever feeling that shame again.
The biggest thing I've learnt from all my trauma trainings is that we all have younger, childlike parts of us trapped inside our adult bodies.
The parts of us that got hurt, that felt unsafe, that learned to shrink or push or hide. They're still here trying to keep us safe using strategies that made sense when we were seven or fifteen or twenty-three. But they often don't serve us anymore.
Here's What's Actually Happening
Your inner child is the part of you that tells you what's possible, what's safe, what you're worthy of.
Maybe you learned that love is conditional. That you're too much or not enough. That your needs don't matter. That the world isn't safe unless you're perfect, or small, or quiet, or constantly achieving.
These beliefs made sense once. They helped you survive. But now? Now they're keeping you from the life you actually want.
But you can learn to untangle these knots. You can become the parent to yourself that you needed. You can hold your inner child with such tenderness that she finally feels safe enough to let go and let you step into who you truly are.
This is the work of reparenting your inner child. It changes everything.
Does This Sound Familiar?
-
You feel stuck in patterns you can intellectually understand but can't seem to break
-
You hold yourself back even when you know you're capable of more
-
You're exhausted from working so hard to prove yourself, to be enough
-
You compare yourself to others constantly and feel triggered by their success
-
Deep down, you know your childhood is still running the show, but you're not sure how to change it
-
You want to feel free and alive but that version of you feels buried under years of "should"
-
You've done therapy, read the books, but the patterns persist
What Becomes Possible When You Reparent Your Inner Child
One participant shared: "I can see just how hard I am on myself, and this is definitely something I want to work on with my younger self. I think this can often get in the way of success in my life."
Another said: "The dream for my future self is to allow myself to take up space, to express myself and be brave and stand up for myself, to trust myself to love myself and to choose myself."
When you learn to reparent your inner child, you move from:
Self-criticism → Self-compassion.
You catch yourself in old patterns and respond with kindness instead of shame.
Procrastination → Aligned action.
You understand what's really holding you back and can move forward with ease.
Comparison → Connection
You stop measuring yourself against others and reconnect to your own unique path.
Playing small → Full expression
You give yourself permission to want what you want, dream what you dream, be who you are.
Wounded child → Wise adult AND playful child
You access both your wisdom and your wonder. You feel liberated, carefree andbelieving anything is possible.
Content Guide
Nurtured Child
Learning To Recognise & Respond
Through guided meditations and journal prompts, you'll start to understand which childhood version of you is showing up in your adult life and what they actually need. You'll learn to recognize your triggers in real-time. To notice when you're operating from your wounded child rather than your wise adult. To catch the moment before you spiral into old patterns.
"I have much more insight into the ways I am still affected by my childhood, the roles I played and where my behaviour is still influenced by old stories. I now understand more about my family and our dynamics."
Playful Child
Reclaiming Joy and Permission
Most of us have learned that play is frivolous, that our needs should come last and that pleasure needs to be earned.
This module is about unpicking those layers and reconnecting with what brought you joy before the world told you to be serious. Using experiential practices you will find permission to prioritise yourself and remember what it feels like to be carefree.
"Life has just felt so free this week. I've been trying to remember about play and self care and when I have, I've managed to bring myself back up quicker than normal.""
Dreamy Child
Claiming Your Vision
As your inner child feels safer and more playful, your ability to dream comes back online. Possibilities feel limitless again. This module is about reconnecting with your grandest vision for yourself. Not the one you think you 'should' want, but the one that actually lights you up. You'll learn tools to activate this vision and rewrite the subconscious stories holding you back.
"An older version of me came up this time that's scared of getting things wrong. I'm looking forward to soothing her anxiety, and allowing both of us to not be so scared of not being right but rather dreaming, playing, being together and enjoying that."
Authentic Child
Integrating and Embodying
This final module is about integration and learning to live from this new place.
You'll gain tools to talk to yourself in new ways amd shift your self-concept in real-time. You will start to forge an ongoing, loving relationship with all parts of yourself. This is the lasting change, not a one-time breakthrough, but a new way of being with yourself.
"I have gained a thirst for developing myself to be the best I can be and found a loving relationship with discipline. I have learnt to trust, deeply listen to, give myself space to feel things out, hold myself and support myself more."

FAQ
I've never done inner child work before—is this for me?
Absolutely. Whether you're brand new to this concept or have been working with your inner child for years, you'll find value here. The program is designed to meet you where you are.
I've done lots of therapy and healing work. Will I get something new from this?
Yes. This isn't just about understanding your inner child intellectually—it's about embodying the practice of reparenting. Many participants who'd done extensive therapeutic work found this to be a missing piece.
How much time do I need to set aside for the experience?
Each module takes about an hour to complete, though you'll want to give yourself space for the emotions and insights that arise. Most people find that doing one module per week works well, but you can move faster or slower based on what you need. You have lifetime access.
What if difficult emotions come up?
They might, and that's actually part of the healing. You'll have tools and guidance throughout for working with whatever arises. If you need additional support, you can book 1:1 sessions with me. That said, this work is best done when you're relatively resourced, not in the middle of acute crisis.
How is this different from therapy?
This is experiential coaching, not therapy. While there may be therapeutic benefits, I'm not a therapist and this doesn't replace mental health treatment. This is about learning to practice reparenting as an ongoing skill. If you're working with a therapist, this often complements that work beautifully.
Can I do this if I had a good childhood?
Yes. We all have moments from childhood where we needed more than we received, or where we formed beliefs that no longer serve us. This work isn't about blaming your parents, it's about becoming an even better parent to yourself.
