Hello & Welcome

I'm Anya

A former attorney turned early years advocate and mom of two. But more than any title? I’m a woman who knows what it’s like to carry it all.

Thank you for being here! Allow me to share a glimpse into my life's journey and the rewarding path I have chosen.

From a young age, I felt a deep pull to make an impact in the world.

My dream? To become an attorney in the land of opportunity—the United States.

But growing up in a small Eastern European country during the geopolitical turmoil of the Cold War era, that dream felt impossibly out of reach.

Immigration was rare.

Opportunities were limited.

And a young girl daring to imagine a future beyond her borders?

Even rarer.
Still, I held onto that dream with everything I had.

Then, fate stepped in.

My mother was awarded a prestigious scholarship to attend graduate school at NYU—and I was granted a student visa to join her in New York City.
It was the beginning of a brand new chapter—one that would eventually lead me not only to the courtroom, but far beyond it, into the heart of a mission I never saw coming.

Five years later, I met my soulmate, married him, and proudly became a citizen of this great nation. I fulfilled my lifelong ambition and graduated from law school, ready to embark on my legal career.

But fate had a different plan in store for me.

As I cradled my newborn daughter in my arms, I realized that I couldn't bear the thought of leaving them to work 40-70 hours a week at a law firm. 

But, despite achieving my dream, I realized my true calling was somewhere else entirely ...

So, I became a stay-at-home mom—and in that sacred space, I discovered a deep passion for early childhood education.

Fast forward a decade, and I’m now an entrepreneur, educator, and advocate—empowering families around the world to embrace and celebrate the early years through purposeful parenting.

Anya currently lives in New Jersey, where she finds deep joy in pursuing her passion for early childhood education while raising her two children alongside her loving husband.

Although her children now attend school, Anya remains actively involved in their learning—enriching their education at home through hands-on exploration of culture, history, science, art, and more.

As a family, they cherish the wonder of travel, the magic of Disney, and the simple beauty of the great outdoors.

Thank you for being here.

At the end of the day, my work isn’t just what I create—it’s who I raise, how I serve, and the ripple effect that begins at home—one child, one parent, one peaceful home at a time.
