Raising a daughter and having experienced the challenges of being a teen girl myself, i created her world now to help girls gain confidence, build trust, own their strengths and to (hopefully!!) open up the line of communication between mother & daughter.

Her World Now is a program I hold so close to my heart.  I've designed Her World Now specifically for pre-teen and teen girls. As we all know, in today's world it's harder than ever to navigate those challenging years from 11-17 (ish) and I can vividly remember the how hard it was for me 30 years ago!   

We, as well intentioned parents who want nothing but the best for our kids, put expectations on them that as far as they're concerned are totally outrageous (and annoying and stupid and unfair because all we want to do is make their lives more difficult).  Right?!  

What they don't understand and almost can't understand when it's coming from us, because it's in their nature during this stage of life to start separating themselves from us, is that we do it because we want them to succeed in an ever evolving environment that continues to be more and more competitive and where true success and happiness are harder and harder to achieve.  

The social pressures and daily interactions, social media, the access they have to just about anything...I personally feel overwhelmed just thinking about it so I can only imagine what it feels like to be living it, right now, as they are.  The words terrifying and confusing come to mind.  Our girls are dealing with ALL of that on top of the expectations and demands we put on them based on our own standards and values. 

I'm raising my own 14 year old daughter and I see from her and other young girls I've worked with just how much of a need there is for them to have some guidance and support outside of their parents.  If your daughter is anything like mine than you understand that as far as she's concerned you, her parent with a lifetime of experience and knowledge, know nothing!  It's beyond frustrating, trust me, I'm in the trenches with you and I get it! 

What I'm offering with this program is much more than just a generic, one size fits all program.  It's a relationship in which I work to establish trust and create a safe space to talk openly so that the groundwork has been laid and I can therefore give support and guidance to our young ladies that are facing the many obstacles and distractions in today's world.  Her own personal cheerleader and coach, if you will.

I work with both the child and the parent(s) based on how you, the parent, see fit.  In order for me to make progress and help your child grow, it requires commitment, work and patience from everyone involved.   I count on the parent(s) to communicate openly with me so I can develop a course that is specific to your child's needs.  That might not match up with what your child wants to discuss or work on and that is absolutely ok.  I have found that quite often once the communication starts many different topics will come to surface and it's for everyone's benefit that the conversations get started so there's an understanding, an awareness, between child and parent.   

My goal is to help you reach your child, to address concerns you have and to open up the communication lines between you.  I am here to be the friend your child can talk to without judgment.  I am the voice that your child will hear when she chooses not to hear yours.  I am the person who hasn't put expectations or demands on them but instead encourages and cheers them on as they grow throughout the process.  AND parents, I'll be cheering you on too, the whole time!

They say it takes a village...and it's true.  I've done a lot of work with pre-teen and teen girls and it's been quite insightful for the parents and hugely beneficial to the girls.  When I can help, even with something as simple as getting your child who hates physical activity to move her body four times a week and have fun doing it, my heart fills up!  

We all have a passion.  We are all our own individuals.  We all see and react to life differently.  It would be my honor to work with you and help you encourage your child to know who she is and to be true to that person so she can live with confidence, intention and joy.
