About Us

Parent From Heart is a group of like-minded moms passionate about positive parenting, honest motherhood, and creating a supportive community for intentional parenting.

With years of collective mothering between us, we have learned a thing or two about thriving (not just surviving) parenthood. We have been there, done that, and have the scars to prove it. We know that raising kids is a wild ride, so we passionately research and write about topics that will help other parents.

Not only do we have tried and tested tips for parenting success, but we also find the best research-backed strategies to save you time and stress. Our team of medical professionals fact-checks everything, giving you peace of mind and empowering you with up-to-date information.

Parenting is hard. Being a positive parent is even harder. It takes intention, bucketloads of patience, and some serious emotional regulation skills. Our mission at Parent From Heart is to offer as much support and honesty as possible to empower parents wanting to feel more confident in their parenting journey.

Parenting can be lonely and overwhelming…which is why we’re here! Let us be the village you need to learn, grow, and create a positive relationship with your kids.

Alana Pace

Contributor / When I’m not nursing cold, stale coffee, I usually can be found with the baby on my hip, barefoot, and racing after my two older kids. Thanks to a degree in psychology and a free-range childhood backing onto an expansive evergreen forest, positive parenting and play-based learning are my passions.

I advocate for mental health—in teens, particularly—having recently written a resource book on mental health for the Commission on Human Rights Philippines. I believe in using my words to help parents like myself see that happy, loving, and confident parenting relies heavily on strong mental health.

Jewel Joven

Senior Writer / I am a proud, hands-on, homeschooling mom to a dynamic trio: two teen daughters with personalities as different as night and day and a son with boundless energy and a knack for science. I've studied Family Life, Child Development, Early Childhood Education, Parenting, Marriage, and Nutrition - and I'm here to spill the beans on all the insider secrets I've gathered along the way. I was also part of an incredible organization that worked with at-risk mothers, teaching them the ABCs of parenting, the magic of positive discipline, and the art of homemaking. At the University of the Philippines, I studied General Psychology, Adolescence and Adulthood, Family Life, and Child Development.

Mikko Pornel

Writer / I’m a fearless leader of a pack of three boys, proudly known as Nana in our household. During the day, I’m a supermom, shuttling kids to school runs and soccer practices. But when evening falls, I switch gears. I channel my experiences into writing by crafting content from my beachside home office. My path from studying Consular and Diplomatic Affairs at De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde to six years of dedicated writing has led me here. Now, I’m blending sandcastles with deadlines, all while sharing insights and joys of parenting through my writing.
