Hi, I’m Kate, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a coach, educator, wellbeing advocate, and mum, on a mission to help parents navigate the rollercoaster of raising teens— without the overwhelm, self-doubt, or endless Googling.

Through coaching skills and co-regulation tools, I empower mums to feel confident, calm, and equipped to guide their teens through the many challenges of these years.

 How I got here

Let’s rewind to 2014

I was juggling a high-level role in education, raising young kids, and managing the wellbeing of 45 teenagers. I pushed myself to do everything… until I burnt out completely.

I hit a wall—physically, emotionally, mentally and I couldn’t be the mum, educator, or mentor I wanted to be. Coaching changed everything for me.

As I worked my way back to health, something unexpected happened—students started asking me what I was doing differently. They noticed a shift, and they wanted to feel the same.

By combining coaching skills with co-regulation tools I had gained from qualifying as a Sophrologist, whilst working in a Swiss school, I saw something powerful: teen boys willingly attending wellbeing sessions… and walking out calmer, more confident, and more focused.

That was my lightbulb moment.

I realised something HUGE: We’re trained to care for our children, but no one teaches us how to skillfully coach them and support their mental and emotional health.

I wanted to change that.

What I know for sure

Being a mum of a teen is… a rollercoaster of highs and lows.

✔ You’re constantly second-guessing yourself—am I doing this right? Am I too strict? Too lenient?
✔ You’re overloaded with advice—but none of it feels clear or actionable.
✔ You want to stay connected with your teen, but they’re pulling away, and the old parenting playbook no longer seems to work.

Sound familiar?

Here’s the good news: There’s a better way and it doesn’t have to feel hard.
