Why Parenting?

Hi, I'm Tarila! I echo the truth that parenting is one of the hardest jobs — and also the most rewarding. Yet many parents find themselves caught in cycles of overwhelm, guilt, and burnout, reacting more than leading. Over time, this stress affects not only the parent’s wellbeing but also the child’s.

I founded Hearts of Gems to help busy parents shift from stress to connection, from reactivity to calm, and from guilt to confidence. I offer practical tools, mindset shifts, and heart-centered strategies that support both you and your children. In today’s busy world, it’s easy to lose sight of what matters most — but I’m here to make sure our children don’t fall through the cracks.

Our approach is proactive, practical, and full of heart. Because when a child feels truly seen and understood, everything changes: their self-worth grows, resilience builds, and they step into life as emotionally healthy adults. And the world needs more of that.

Connection Tools

Shipped to over 20 countries, our connection-focused products have helped families around the world spark meaningful conversations, deepen understanding, and nurture children’s emotional wellbeing.

Each product is thoughtfully designed to fit into everyday life — because beautiful moments often happen in the little pauses of our busy days.

At Hearts of Gems, we believe small moments of connection can leave the biggest impact. Our products make it easy to turn those moments into lasting memories.

About Me

I still remember watching Supernanny when I was 17 — completely fascinated by the way children expressed big emotions and how adults could guide them through it. I found myself taking mental notes, determined to one day break generational cycles and show up differently for my own children.

Due to a genuine pursuit of understanding, I dove into child development and psychology — not just to learn, but to truly transform how I showed up at home. This led to a remarkable shift in our family dynamics: more connection, less conflict, and a home that felt calmer and more cooperative.

I founded Hearts of Gems and became a Certified Parent Coach to help parents move from overwhelm to confidence and connection.

You don’t have to be perfect to be a great parent. You just have to be honest, present, and willing to grow.
