Canberra, ACT

Mario is a counsellor, parent educator and father of two who brings both professional knowledge and real-life parenting experience to his sessions.

His background includes counselling, Lifeline crisis support and more than a decade working with children and families as an Outside School Hours Care Assistant Director. He has also gained valuable experience through raising and home educating his own children.

Mario believes fatherhood is one of life’s greatest privileges, as well as one of its greatest challenges. He understands there is no single “right” way to be a dad, but that having reliable information, practical tools and the support of other fathers can make a meaningful difference.

Through Beer + Bubs parenting programs in Canberra, Mario creates a relaxed and welcoming environment where dads can ask questions, share experiences and build their confidence without judgement or pressure.

His sessions combine practical parenting strategies with honest conversations about the realities of raising children. Mario’s goal is for every dad to leave feeling more informed, supported and prepared for the responsibilities, challenges and rewards of fatherhood..
