Founded by Cristiana Franco – a skilled educator, speaker, trainer and coach – Growing up Together offers in-depth support for mothers, parents, caregivers, children, and organisations who want to approach parenting with calm, love, and evidence-based knowledge.

We believe parenting is a shared responsibility – and no parent should have to do it alone. Through scientifically grounded insights and practical guidance, we help families and institutions raise emotionally resilient, self-aware and joyful children.

​​

Who is Growing up Together Academy for?

• For mothers who are ready to rediscover themselves after the (intense) transition into motherhood. Women who want to parent with intuition, peace and confidence – without guilt or burnout.

• For parents and caregivers seeking deeper connection and clarity in their parenting – including insights from Human Design and the Penta system, so their approach is aligned with the unique blueprint of their family.

• For children and teens who need support with emotional expression, social skills, self-confidence – and who wish to access their inner power through manifestation tools and conscious awareness.

• For organisations, schools, childcare centers and companies that want to invest in long-term parenting support, strong parent-child bonds, and the mental wellbeing of families and staff.
