Gabriela Pattison was born in Czech Republic (former Czechoslovakia). She graduated as a pediatric nurse in 1995. In 1996 she moved to the United States in pursuit of her dreams to help families unite and break the patterns in parenting. She has spent the last 20 years researching relationship between parent and child. In 2011 she expanded her research by learning how to parent a child during a life-threatening illness due to her three and a half year old son getting diagnosed with leukemia. Today Gabriela lives in the Chicago Land area. She coaches families, works on her book series, and teaches classes for parents and children. She is working on expanding her life's dream by creating a franchise that will empower families in challenging times.
