Why Coaching?

My mission is to help my clients better understand who they are, what they need, and where they want to go. Limiting beliefs and negative mindset are two of the biggest roadblocks to overcome when it comes to battling stress, low self-esteem or poor academics.

No matter the original belief, we work on our thoughts for a complete transformation. Wellness encompasses many areas such as mental, emotional, physical, and academic. Our mindfulness & mindset coaching is an all-in-one approach.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What program should we start with?

We recommend the Teen Talk Group Program for our teens, which focuses on making connections with peers, embracing uniqueness, and reviewing healthy habits.

For our young adult clients, we recommend the Grace and Grind private sessions to get started on improving healthy habits and creating an individual action plan.

What age clients do you work with?

I work with middle, high-school and college age students. Each coaching program is tailored to the specific age group.

Are you a counselor?

For nearly a decade I’ve worked with teens as a high-school counselor in Milford, CT.  I understand the academic pressures, social dynamic, emotional struggles and abilities of the counseling department. Coupled with my coaching skills, I have a unique ability to connect with teens and move them from where they are now to where they want to be.

How do I know if my child needs a life coach?

All teens and young adults can greatly benefit from life coaching. Here are some of the needs of our clients (one or more may pertain to your child):

Calming Techniques and Coping Strategies

Social Fears

  • Making friends
  • Socializing with peers
  • Managing school situations
  • They are not involved in extracurricular activities
  • They need support in finding a job

Fear of Not Doing Well

  • Workload is overwhelming
  • Their school/activity responsibilities are too much
  • Certain situations are making them nervous

Mindset Shift, Increasing Motivation and Self Confidence

Fear That They Don’t Know What To Do

  • They don’t care about school.
  • They don’t care about not attending.
  • They have negative feelings and are not sure how to change that.
  • They are unsure what to do next with their life
  • They are not sure what to study in college

Academic Support

Fear of Failing

  • They are missing work
  • They don’t hand in assignments on time

Are your programs virtual or in-person?

We have both a virtual and in-person option for our Grace + Grind private program. However, Teen Talk is in-person.

How long are your coaching programs and what is the format?

Typically my coaching programs are 8 weeks long except our Teen Parent Workshop which is a single session either privately or in a group setting. The format is very informative, hands-on often with activities, and of course we have some fun! Private Coaching is 30 minutes, while group is 45 minutes – I understand the busy schedules of my clients.
