Aura Bakker founded Everything New Parenting and is the CEO of Vision of Mulund Institute, a non-profit organization focused on raising children in a spiritual context, fostering deeper connections within families, and nurturing happy, balanced children.

 

Raised across Holland, England, and California, Aura's early life exposed her to everything she now helps support in others. She has dedicated her career to guiding parents and children toward greater emotional and spiritual growth and connection.

 

Holding a BA in Music from the Netherlands, Aura began as a music and elementary school teacher before expanding into consulting, leading retreats for children, and developing a games-based approach to parenting and family life. She is the author of The Heart-Strong Warrior & How to Be One.

Testimonials

Our son had a hard time relaxing which was also affecting his sleep. Since we learned how to support him through massage, meditation, and deep breathing techniques, he has not only been able to sleep better but has also gained lifelong tools to release tension and express his emotions more freely. Our two older children have also resonated with this, and as a result, our family's connection has deepened.

​

What’s even more beautiful is that Olivier,

at just eight years old, has started sharing what he’s learned with his friends—reminding them to feel the wonder and mystery of life and even breathing with them when they need help. Aura's guidance has helped us approach parenting with more awareness and presence, allowing us to support our children’s growth in a more meaningful way.

–Barry & Cindy

Aura’s approach is unlike anything we’ve tried before. Through simple but powerful games, she showed us how to build positive habits in a fun and natural way. These games have become part of our daily life, making it easy to nurture connection and joy with our kids. Instead of just reacting to problems, we now have playful, meaningful ways to strengthen our family dynamic. It’s been a game-changer—literally!

–Lilly & John 

Working with Aura has completely transformed how I connect with my child. I used to feel stuck in a cycle of frustration, but she helped me shift my focus from managing behavior to strengthening our bond. Now, I have the tools to reconnect when things feel off, and our home is so much more peaceful. I can’t recommend her enough!

–Isabel​, Amy's mama

Aura was a special guide for our son, Thijmen. Even before he was officially diagnosed with ADHD, she had already recognized the signs and gently pointed us in that direction. Through yoga and playful exercises, she helped him relax the ‘busyness in his head’ and showed him that there are many ways to experience the pleasure of calm.

​

What stood out most was how quickly she made him feel safe and connected through her gentle approach. She has a rare ability to bring comfort and trust, not only to children but also to parents. Her dedication to the well-being of every child she works with is something we have always deeply appreciated. Working with Aura has opened our eyes to new possibilities in parenting, showing us that there are different paths to walk when raising a child—and for that, we are truly grateful.

 

–Mirjam & Jan Rijk

I have known and worked with Aura in the context of children and adolescents over a number of years. I have always been in awe of her ability to get to the very nub of what each child needs. She is a talented educator but more than that she sees and feels beyond what is apparently the case and brings a wisdom and sensitivity to young people and their parents that I haven't witnessed in anyone else.

​

Aura's calm, professional approach is balanced by her compassion and humour. I wish she was my teacher!!

​

–Karin, Mother & Counseler

Aura is a beautiful soul. She is deeply intuitive. She is a healer. She is filled with joy and warmth and strength and a deep knowingness. Her work effortlessly weaves the energetic, the emotional, the spiritual, and the body.

​

Her work with our daughter over the past three years has been transformative—not just for her, but for our whole family. She has an intuitive ability to lead her right where she needs to go and to help her connect to the deep, beautiful parts of her heart and mind, while also guiding us as parents to support her in a more meaningful way.

 

–Abby, Sofia's mama

Aura has been in our daughter’s life for years, first as a guest speaker in her afterschool ‘Girl Empowerment Group’ and later through weekly Zoom sessions with her best friend. They talk about life, make art, discuss feelings, dance, laugh, and work through anything that comes up. She leads while also letting the girls lead.

​

She always sends us the most detailed and loving recaps, honoring their privacy while keeping us connected. For our daughter, this time with Aura is like a spiritual practice—helping her be a good friend to herself, to others, and to the world. She treasures this hour each week to let go and just be.

​

Beyond that, Aura has also helped us as parents, offering insight and tools that have brought more connection and ease into our family. We are so grateful for her presence in our lives!"
