Hi, I'm Cecilie Viallon. With 15 years of experience in the insurance industry across five countries, I've built strong expertise in claims, underwriting, and managing complex situations with calm and clarity—skills that also help me as a mother. Since moving to New Zealand in 2019, I've embarked on a new journey combining my professional strengths with my passion for supporting families through my business, Mama Papa Little Heart. I create educational resources and provide guidance on positive parenting and breastfeeding, sharing evidence-based insights online and through social media, including my French Instagram account empowering mothers. As a certified digital consultant and published author, I enjoy crafting content and managing social media strategies while exploring technology's role in connecting communities. I'm always open to connecting about business, parenting, AI tools, or just how to survive a toddler-filled day while meeting deadlines!
