Youth Life Coach

Helping kids, teens and emerging adults live the life they’ve always imagined!

Certified through Adventures in Wisdom and Youth Coaching Institute, I'm passionate about coaching youth, ages 6-29, so they can step into their best selves, live happy and fulfilling lives and see that when they transform their thoughts, they transform their lives.

I coach youth, in fun and engaging ways, on a variety of topics including:

  • Achieving Soaring Confidence and Self Esteem
  • Bouncing Back from Setbacks
  • Training Your Mind for Success
  • Working Past Limiting Beliefs
  • Goal Setting and Motivation
  • Not Giving Into Peer Pressure
  • Building & Maintaining Strong Relationships
  • Time Management
  • Stress Management
  • Being In the Driver Seat of Your Life

The secret to living a joy-filled life starts by empowering youth at a young age to chase what makes them happy, dream big and celebrate their uniqueness. When we come into this world, we’re born with a light. Our dreams have no limits, we’re fearless, and we’re unapologetically ourselves. Then as we get older, this bright light can sometimes dim from outside influence, the media, etc. I coach youth because I want to ensure this special light they’re born with stays shining bright throughout their lives.

I've experienced first-hand what happens when you let this light get dim. I once found myself unfulfilled in my career, burnt out and lost, losing sight of what filled my cup up.

After working with a coach of my own, I transformed my life and discovered what truly lit me up – coaching youth. Now my light burns bright as I strive to be the coach I wish I had when I was younger. If I had the skills gained through coaching back then that I do now, I would’ve saved myself a lot of time unlearning negative programming and discovering what a fulfilling and meaningful life means to me.

My life’s goal is ensuring youth learn this at a young age so they can go into adulthood living each day of their life to the fullest.

I'd love to discuss how I can support you or the youth in your life!
