Magdalena García supports and counsels parents, teachers and health professionals internationally in forming, nurturing and repairing relationships with children.

After taking time to home-school her daughter, she currently runs Circles and Bridges, a movement to tend to the Inner Lives of children by tending the Inner Lives of their caregivers through one-on-one parent coaching, parent support groups and parent education.
