Stepfamily Magazine wouldn’t be possible without the help and support of some remarkable writers. We give them a big round of applause, and we genuinely thank them for contributing their work to help educate and support the stepfamily community.

Anita Inglis

Anita Inglis

Anita is a step/mum to 7, ranging from tweens to adults. As a child of divorce and a divorced mum, she was completely unprepared for life married to a man in a high conflict relationship with his ex. This led to her current career, helping others deal with complex stepfamily dynamics. She lives in New Zealand but works with clients in North America and Australasia. She specialises in helping families navigate high conflict situations and those dealing with trauma. She is a certified stepfamily coach, with graduate and post-graduate qualifications in psychology. Along with co-founding Stepfamily Magazine, she also found the Institute of Step-Family Dynamics and mentors other step-family coaches and professionals.
