Educational Coaching is a specific and uniquely developed style of coaching for children and adolescents which offers a safe, nonjudgmental, nurturing, and supportive partnership for the initiation of healing, self-appreciation and self-discovery.
Educational Coaching supports growth and change, and provides the structure and strategies needed to create success, improve performance, and enhance the quality of life.
Educational Coaching is designed to help children remember their innate inner resources, define their purpose, and reconnect with their natural born potential. My goal is to help children remember their strengths, design a meaningful joyful life, and then continue their growth without me.
Educational Coaching offers individual and group coaching to children & adolescents ages
5-15, and provides parents with creative tools and to bring out the best in their children.

Body-Centered Coaching
What is Body-Centered Coaching?
Body-Centered Coaching, developed by Marlena Field, PCC, CPCC, is based on the premise that the body has a natural intelligence that can offer a new depth of learning and self-awareness. The body is an amazing source of information and an under-utilized resource for learning and change.
Body-Centered Coaching recognizes that the body, mind and soul are different aspects of our whole being, and that these aspects need to be integrated in order for us to experience fulfillment and peace.
What is the Heart of Body-Centered Coaching?
- Your Authentic Self
- Being Present, Mindful & Centered (Being mindful means being aware and attuned to body signals, feelings, emotions and thoughts)
- Experiencing Self-Awareness Through the Body
- Body Wisdom
- Embodied Wholeness
What does Body-Centered Coaching involve?
Being intuitive about the language and signals the body is sending. Interpreting the information and then integrating it to open many more creative pathways. Participants will learn to use the body to better understand feelings, thoughts, perceptions, memories, intentions and intuition.
