Meet Fiona

Dr. Fiona Ghiglione is an accomplished educator, researcher, Assistant Professor, author, founder and mum of two girls. With over 20 years of experience supporting youth and parents, Fiona brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to her work.

Fiona's work at Mothering Girls focuses on preventative education and connected parenting. She is passionate about giving young girls and their parents the best chance to thrive during the preteen and teen years.

Her approach is greatly influenced by her extensive training in mindfulness and developmental psychology. She has a PhD in psychology and mindfulness from the University of Sydney, Australia, which has equipped her with a unique perspective on how we need to move forward in supporting this next generation of youth.

Every one of her programs are designed to combine practical, evidence-based strategies with compassion and empathy, to help parents and their children navigate the often turbulent pre-adolescent years in a refreshing way.

When Fiona is not working, she loves spending time with her husband and two daughters, doing Spartan races, and travelling. She is a long-term expat, now living in her fourth country.
