Community Highlights: Meet Karla Martinez of Karla’s Parenting

Today we’d like to introduce you to Karla Martinez.

Hi Karla, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Let’s start with my experience as a mother of four that has shaped my approach as a parenting coach.

Growing up in Venezuela, I had a traditional upbringing where strict discipline and authoritarian parenting were the norm. However, when I became a mother myself in the United States, I realized that I wanted to break away from those patterns and adopt a more balanced and compassionate approach.

My decision to become a parenting coach stemmed from my own struggles and the desire to provide support to other parents facing similar challenges. I realized that many parents, like me, were looking for guidance on how to foster healthy relationships with their children while maintaining discipline and structure.

My coaching philosophy is rooted in empathy, communication, and building strong connections within the family. I draw upon my own experiences as a mother of four to provide practical advice and strategies that help parents navigate the complexities of modern parenting.

In my coaching practice, I emphasize the importance of active listening, open communication, and understanding each child’s unique needs and personality. I believe that a nurturing and respectful environment is essential for children to thrive. I also encourage parents to prioritize self-care, as I’ve learned that taking care of ourselves is crucial to being the best parents we can be. Parenting is about the parent and not the actual child.

Living in Nashville has been a wonderful experience, and it has allowed me to connect with diverse families from various backgrounds. I’ve had the privilege of helping parents build stronger bonds with their children and create harmonious family dynamics.

Ultimately, my story is one of transformation and growth. It’s a journey from a traditional upbringing in Venezuela to embracing an even more empathetic and balanced approach to parenting in the vibrant community of Nashville. As a parenting coach, I’m committed to helping families find their own paths to nurturing, loving, and respectful relationships with their children.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Of course not. Having to go to the dental office, coming to be a mom, and studying and pursuing this career at the time was hard.

My social media started growing, I had clients, plus a family to raise. So I decided to stop working as a dental hygienist. Parenting had my heart when it came to choosing, and that’s what I did. I chose to be a mom and help other parents be better. And this was hard to do.

I had too many fears about starting my own business. This is the reason I study marketing. I needed to learn how social media works.
