Hi there!
I’m Dr. Gila,
(Rhymes with “tequila,” but I won’t leave you with a hangover 😉)
I’m a neuropsychologist-turned-coach and solo mom who gets it. I offer support that’s grounded in science, shaped by lived experience, and delivered with a hefty dose of compassion (…and the occasional 90s reference).
Bring me to your school, group, summit, or podcast!
Supporting kids starts with supporting the adults who care for them.
Through workshops and guest interviews about regulation, resilience, growth mindset, and more, I help parents, educators, and organizations deepen their understanding of what kids need — and how to respond with connection, not control.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Gila for workshops, presentations and keynotes.”
“Dr. Gila’s expertise shone through in her insightful presentation, which provided both valuable insights and practical strategies.”
— Sumitha Bhandarkar, AFineParent Academy
