Coaching kids is different from coaching adults because of the rapid brain development constantly occurring as children grow. The brain is not fully developed until the early 20s. Adults have a developed brain and have more life experience to draw upon in their exercises with me, which makes coaching kids require a more vital teaching component. Coaching helps kids build resilience, self-esteem, and self-confidence. It also helps children develop their own "heart compass" or intuition to think for themselves and stand up to peer pressure. Through the coaching experience, teens will learn to live life with intention, purpose, and a vision for what they want in their lives.

Life Coaching for Teens & Preteens

Emotional Resiliency and having a growth mindset are essential for living life with joy and confidence.

When coaching adolescents, I use a combination of my own curriculum, Mindful Schools lessons, and HeartMath coaching. In my workshops and in one-on-one coaching sessions, I teach skills to help kids build confidence and emotional resiliency such as meditation, HeartMath techniques, mental rehearsal, self-talk transformation, positive affirmations, journaling, qigong, and art therapy. In my teachings, I speak a lot about scientific research, but I also include the importance of feeling a spiritual/energetic connection. From my experiences, I have come to believe that much of emotional instability, absence of self-love, and suicidal thoughts stem from a lack of connection to the wisdom of the heart, and to the creator of all things. You can choose to call this source by many names (the higher self, Universe, Divine, God, etc.) I believe we are each unique expressions of this divine energy. Most of the energetic portions of my lessons involve connecting to intuition (which is important for self-love and trust), and qigong/meditation techniques (which are important for mental and physical well-being.)

My teachings are a blend of spiritual and scientific lessons. Each session is tailored to the individual student’s needs and is created to inspire each person to live a life of heart connection and high vibration.
