Build a Happy, Loving Family
Heal Wounds. Transform Generations.
Create the Healthy, Loving Family that you have Always Wanted.
Ask Yourself: Are You a Mother Who…
Carries grief, guilt, regret, or shame about your relationship with your child.
Loves them with your whole heart, but past hurts and complicates your relationship.
Wonders how your past pain, mistakes, or parenting patterns continue to echo through generations of your family
Watches her grandchild grow up and yearns for something better for them.
Feels the sting of distance, silence, or emotional strain in
your relationship
Believes it's not too late to heal and deeply connect.
You Can Still Change the Story
Maybe you’ve done your best.
You’ve loved with your whole heart.
But something still feels broken.
Maybe it’s been years of silence or tension so thick it’s easier to pretend nothing’s wrong.
Or you see your child or grandchildren and worry if the patterns are repeating. The ones you never meant to pass down. The ones that were passed to you.
You might wonder…
“Is it too late?”
“Will they even want to have a relationship with me?”
“How can I repair something that feels so far gone? Is it really possible?”
Here is the truth.
It's not too late. You don't have to figure it out alone. You just need willingness, and support from someone who knows the way. Miracles are possible and happen every day. The power to work miracles is a matter of knowing how, your willingness to heal, and having an experienced guide to support you along the way.
The journey does not happen all at once. Some days will be harder than others. If you are committed to doing this work, your healing and growth can be the inspiration that leads your child to begin their own healing journey.
Meet Your Guide
Hi! I’m Dr. Araba Afenyi-Annan, and I am a transformational parenting mentor, author, and award-winning speaker. More importantly, I am a daughter, sister, and mother of two incredible beings.
Years ago, a life-changing injury brought my thriving medical career to a halt. I went from national expert, funded researcher, medical director, and professor to a broken, struggling woman with chronic debilitating pain, depression, panic attacks, all while trying to navigate surgery after surgery. And in an instant, the carefully planned life that I had worked so hard to create fell apart from this injury.
Suddenly, me, the caregiver, became the one in need of care. It was disorienting, humbling, and deeply uncomfortable.
At home, the impact rippled outward.
I couldn’t parent the way I once had, and the pain created distance between me and my children.
I could no longer pick up my two-year-old son or hold my 4-year-old daughter when they needed comfort..
We were still a family, but we were drifting. I could feel it. And I knew that if I didn’t do something different, the gap would only grow and lead to permanent damage. I vowed not to let that happen.
That’s when the shift began.
In that quiet space of vulnerability, I realized that the pain wasn’t just in my body. It was in how I was still trying to hold everything together on my own.
I had to stop pretending that I could do everything and get real help. I had to surrender, accept, and allow others to help me. I had to prioritize my inner healing. And most of all, I had to trust my children and trust that I could still lead with love. That’s when everything changed.
I began to see my children not just as kids I was raising, but as wise, whole beings in a sacred partnership with me. I started showing up differently. I was more present, honest, and aligned.
And slowly, we all began to heal.
Today, I help mothers, especially those later in life, who are ready to transform their relationships with their adult children, reconnect from the heart, and leave a legacy that frees future generations.
Because when you choose to heal, your family heals with you. They are reminded that pain and trauma do not define who they are—that it’s possible to rise above it, and build something more beautiful in its place. And when you lead from love and wholeness, they can rise with you.

Testimonials
Dr. Araba held a beautifully loving, open space for me to share and then provided a helpful summary of what she heard, adding what she knows as a parent and physician. She affirmed that the wisdom and answers were within me and that I was working through and discovering on my own (with help of her compassionate listening!!). She affirmed that my guidance and intuition were valid and as valuable/helpful as any other form of a solution, which felt incredibly supportive and uplifting.

I have already booked a session for next week. I am clearing out many false beliefs with her and accomplishing a tremendous amount in a short time. The sessions have laser focus. I have made more headway with a few sessions with Dr. Araba than in years of traditional counseling. Christ must be with us. She is the best!

Dr. Araba was incredibly helpful and loving. She held the space beautifully and I felt transformed after our session. Ideas and solutions were presented for healing, but also for when challenges come up in the moment. Truly transformational and my intention was fully addressed. ❤️

I feel like I opened the whole proverbial “can of worms” with Dr. Araba and she understands my concerns. She gave me good ideas, explanations and practices to try. Frankly, I feel confident knowing I can turn to Araba. It reassures me that I took the time to engage a counselor/wise person and that person is now “on call” for me. From my point of view Dr. Araba is a good investment all the way around. :-)
