Lauded by Oprah as “revolutionary” and celebrated for her groundbreaking work in conscious parenting, Dr. Shefali holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University and is one of the world’s foremost pioneers in the conscious parenting movement.

Stemming from her own journey as a parent, Shefali discovered that her frustrations weren’t about her child’s behavior but were rooted in her own unmet childhood needs. 

This realization led her to challenge the more ‘controlling nature’ of traditional models of parenting – which often puts undue pressure on children and possibly robs them of their confidence and autonomy.

Drawing from both Western psychology and Eastern philosophy, Shefali advocates for a more conscious approach to parenting, which emphasizes honoring children as sovereign beings, fostering genuine connection, and raising our own consciousness as parents.

As a NYT bestselling author and international speaker, Dr. Shefali speaks at events around the globe, spreading her message of conscious parenting and mindful living.

And with the Parenting Mastery Summit, her hope is that even more parents, educators and guardians will gain the skills they need to do just that.
