As 2020 has so far been a year of tragedy, the unknown and uncertainty I have decided to use the time that we all have endured either losing jobs or even just the rigorous day to day uncertainty in our brains as well as being cooped up inside, in turn leading to possible depression or anxiety etc. This is all NO GOOD for us as humans, not to mention the hundreds of thousands who became sick during a pandemic! So as I was saying I’ve been using this time to study life coaching, my niche being 12-18 years of age. In addition to being a yoga instructor, I am adding life coaching to my resume. They can certainly go hand in hand.
I’ve seen first hand how 12 year olds can easily lose track of what it is they love to do or may not even know what they love to do until they put social media aside and reflect. Being busy with something other than social media can build confidence, keep kids out of trouble, let them find a purpose and most of all let them explore.
Another side of age 12-18 are also feelings, deep feelings that can come about during times that we are all experiencing right now. It can lead to kids feeling uneasy and afraid of the unknown.
Life coaches are not therapists so if your child has deeper issues that need medical attention please don’t be afraid to ask them how they are feeling and get them the help they need. Life coaches are designed to guide a person and allow them to see different sides of the coin and help them move toward the right direction if they are in a funk or just need help with sorting out what they are feeling as well.
I am excited to help your child. Yoga can be incorporated as well if desired. Coaching can be done in person or via phone, zoom or any other face to face video outlets.
Take a moment to read this article if you have children between the ages of 12-18.

We think of life coaching as something for middle-aged executives, yet 17- and 18-year-olds are increasingly signing up. Is it for career advice – or because they help assuage loneliness?
