Meet the Team

Welcome to Koalaco Parental Coaching! My name is Daina Booth and I am the counseller, coach and “team” behind Koalaco.

I am passionate about families and kids. I thrive on helping others to work through their challenges through connection and trust. I have been a dedicated teacher working in a variety of schools over the last 27 years. During that time I have mainly worked with 5 year olds and their parents.

I believe that working as a team is the best way to support young learners. However during my career I have also seen many parents that are looking for that guidance and support through the challenges of raising a child.

As parents we put our children first, often forgetting that we too need time, patience and understanding…

I have many years experience having raised 3 children with my husband. Together we are super proud of the adults they have become.

I have continued to study and challenge myself through the years gaining a Diploma of Counselling, Bachelor of Education and a Masters in Education. I am also accredited with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA).

I bring all that wealth of knowledge of children and parenting, to you.

Daina offers down to earth counselling with years of experience working with children. You walk away with practical ideas you can use straight away

She is a master at getting you to think objectively about your situation and that brings more possibilities and choices
— Jo

On a personal note…

When I am not teaching or counselling I really enjoy walking in nature with my dog Indie. I am known to walk everywhere (I do have my license!) but that is because I am dedicated to my 10,000 daily steps!

I enjoy sewing and I make bags for a charity called Backpacks4kids and stitching little felt hearts for the 1000hearts project. I love sharing the hearts with all those that need a little love.

I am also the founder of the burrowbag.com.au

Thank you for visiting and I look forward to meeting and working with you soon.
