# Oak and River Education, Ltd.
Oak and River Education, Ltd. is a parent coaching practice led by Dr. Victoria A. Elasic, an ICF-trained coach and Montessori scholar based in Sevenoaks. The business specialises in supporting high-capacity parents—particularly those managing demanding careers, parenting gifted or neurodiverse children, or navigating competitive educational environments like the 11+.
Victoria works with parents who carry substantial emotional and logistical responsibility for their families but may feel isolated or overwhelmed by the invisible load they bear. Rather than offering superficial advice, Oak and River provides structured, reflective coaching partnerships designed to create lasting change.
The coaching approach focuses on understanding each family's unique dynamics, values and goals. Sessions explore the patterns underlying daily challenges, clarify family values, strengthen communication and empathy, and build sustainable home systems. The work emphasises developing parental confidence and consistency whilst supporting children's independence and resilience.
What distinguishes Oak and River is its rejection of burnout as inevitable for capable people. The philosophy—rooted in the metaphor of oak and river—recognises that sustainable strength requires both grounding and flow. Victoria works with a deliberately limited client base to ensure depth and genuine partnership rather than scaling.
The business also notes that coaching may be eligible for support through the UK government's Access to Work scheme, making services potentially more accessible to those with qualifying circumstances.
