Empowering overwhelmed parents to move from survival to wellness—and truly thrive.
I’m Daria Pool, a Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW) with over 30 years of experience supporting parents through life’s most challenging and meaningful moments.
I help parents navigate overwhelm, strengthen connection, and feel more grounded in their role. I specialize in supporting parents, with a focus on attachment-based parenting, trauma, and perinatal and infant mental health.
As a parent of three adult children and a proud grandmother to twin grandsons, I understand how deeply rewarding—and overwhelming—raising children can be. My work in child welfare and family court has shown me that parents love their children fiercely and are doing their very best, even in difficult seasons.
My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and practical. Together, we’ll work toward helping you find balance and reconnect with your child—and yourself.
About Daria
"When a mother finds her centre, the entire family breathes deeper."

Nurturing Resilience
Clients often tell me I’m down‑to‑earth, genuine, and deeply validating. I bring a fresh, supportive perspective that helps you notice your strengths and treat yourself more gently. Using integrated therapies, my approach supports you as a whole person rather than treating individual symptoms.
Nervous System Regulation
I provide somatic tools to move from a state of 'fight, flight, freeze or fawn' into one of grounded presence, allowing you to respond rather than react.
Assertive Boundary Setting
Learning to protect your emotional energy is a foundational strategy for long-term health. I work on scripts and internal permission to express your needs and desires.
Identity Reclamation
Supporting parents in rediscovering who they are outside of the 'caregiver' role, fostering strategies that prioritize personal agency.
Authentic Support for your wellness
'A regulated parent is the greatest gift for a child, but the first priority is finding their own peace.'
