It’s time to watch your teen become the most confident version of herself.

The exercises we do together combine two things: top down and bottom up healing. Top down healing or co-active coaching works with the mind first. We talk about what’s going on in her life an equip her with tools to take with her outside our sessions. The bottom-up approach incorporates somatic nervous system healing so she can learn to feel her emotions and regulate her nervous system. She will do exercises in our sessions, where she closes her eyes and learns how to listen to her body and her own intuition so that she can always drop back into herself rather than look outwards for validation.

What types of exercises will you do with my teen?

I am a certified love and relationship coach and a licensed teacher in the state of Massachusetts. I have taken additional trainings in body neutrality, hypnosis, and brain rewiring.

What certifications do you have?

Our sessions will be 90% confidential and your daughter will have to decide if she wants to share her notes with you. As a licensed teacher, I am a mandated reporter so if your daughter mentions any concerns about being hurt or hurting herself, I will have to make you aware of these concerns immediately as mandated by the state. We will use the parent session at the end, to go over major takeaways and so you can see the path forward in helping your daughter. It’s important the entire family is on board with confidence coaching, because all our work can’t be undone the second she leaves our session.

Will the sessions be confidential or can I read the notes?

You will get a guide at the beginning of our container that will talk about behaviors around the house that can support your daughter. For example, if your daughter is learning to resist diet culture and embrace body neutrality with me, but you’re talking about Weight Watchers at dinner later, that is not going to fly. This guide will help you support her. If you are ready to do the internal work of body image healing yourself, you should purchase the Mom & Me package.

How can I support my daughter?

No. I will have a free, short discovery call with you to hear more about what’s going on with your daughter and make sure she is the right fit for the program and within my scope of practice. If your daughter would benefit from eating disorder treatment or a clinical therapist instead, I will be happy to talk through that with you and refer her out.

Do all girls get accepted?

Parenting is the hardest job in the world and we are ALL victims of diet culture. Children learn through mirroring aka watching you. She watches how you talk about YOUR body, YOUR clothes, YOUR food, YOUR exercise routines. She watches how you talk about people in bigger bodies. She is always watching. This is a joint effort. And if you aren’t ready to give up diet culture yourself (which is okay, I understand how hard it is and I’ve been there) that’s okay, but you’ve got to adopt new behaviors in front of your kids and that’s what we will talk about together. If you want to be on Weight Watchers, okay. But don’t take a sharpie to every piece of food in your house and write the points on it so she sees it.  

Why are there parent sessions attached to each package?

I think all children should have a therapist that they see weekly. Coaching is typically a short container, 6 sessions or sometimes more if we think it’s best. The work is very different than talk therapy. We will figure out a cadence that works best for your schedule.

Does coaching work like therapy, where she goes every week?

I do not. 

Do you accept insurance?
