Tamara Iglesias is the owner + founder of Wellynest, a conscious parenting coaching brand dedicated to empowering families to live fully whole + nourished lives.
Tamara’s mission is to shift the way we raise our children by bringing the awareness of self into the parenting journey. As parents, when we heal ourselves, we can heal our children and ultimately heal the world. Consciously parenting from a place of respect, cultivating deep trust and creating healthy boundaries is essential.
When parents are supported on their own healing journey and inspired to use conscious words, act with intention and slow down to spend quality time, children can develop into fully-realized, emotionally healthy adults. Parenting with conscious intention helps the entire family thrive.
Tamara has created a conscious parenting coaching program, helping her clients nurture their children by healing themselves first. Setting children up for healthy connections, relationships and coping methods, Tamara’s approach has helped hundreds of families. Tamara’s own personal journey has inspired her desire to change the way we raise our children, and she is doing so every day with Wellynest.

Wellynest's accessible approach weaves together personalized programs comprised of self-care, conscious parenting, movement, meditation, healing botanicals, ancient healing modalities, essential oils and more. And most importantly, guidance through the continual journey of self-awareness and self-love, as true wholeness comes from within. When these two worlds meet, conscious parenting and whole life wellness, the entire family unit is supported and change can happen.
When I had my sweet baby girl in 2013, I realized this deep-rooted purpose and passion inside me around shifting the way we raise children in America. I want to support families in giving their child the greatest chance to thrive, in a home that is not only safe and filled with love, but also attention, respect, trust, nutrients, and an environment free of plastics, toxins, excess stimulants and anything else not fully supporting the beautiful growth of their body, mind & spirit! It was then I knew I needed to create a company that gave not only individuals, but also their families, spouses, children and loved ones the support they needed to thrive. And what if you started from the very beginning? What if you didn’t need to reclaim your health as you got older but you already had it? What if you didn’t need to go to therapy to find your self-worth and realized you were worthy of being loved and achieving true success in this world (whatever that looks like for you)? What if you already had that? What if you were raised in a way that all of your gifts were cultivated from the moment you were born…that you were treated, respected and raised as a whole being…given the attention and trust you needed to thrive, the food and nourishment you needed to grow and an environment that supported it all?
That is what we are creating here. Powerful choices, intentions, actions, words, thought-processes, resources and more that allow us this level of conscious awareness around the parenting journey, truly the journey of life. When we clear the pain of our own past, let go of our current unhealthy expectations, and heal from childhood trauma, we clear the path for our children’s future. This clear path will gift your children a blank canvas, for them to paint and design their world and their future from the day they are born – so not only is health their birthright but love, respect, honor, self-confidence, self-worth, body awareness, strength and so much more! That is our mission. That is our dream. And we are bringing it to one family at a time, one new being at a time. No matter where you or your family are, we can help, support, and guide you to a version of yourself that you are proud of from the inside out. Thank you for your time, your interest and your support. We truly hope that our nest, the Wellynest, becomes a part of every family in America and beyond. Help us spread this mission and please reach out, as we are so ready to welcome YOU to our “nest!”
