We empower early adolescent kids and parents to become the most compassionate unstoppable humans on the planet.


OUR METHODOLOGY


Neurologically, biologically, and spiritually, early adolescence is the greatest window of opportunity to nurture the individual, peer and parent relationships, and a deeper connection to the outside world.
 
We believe fulfillment and success boil down to building essential connections and skills in these categories, scaffolded depending on the stage, age, and ability.

👏 WHAT PARENTS & KIDS ARE SAYING

HUGE GROWTH

"I knew I needed new beliefs and skills in parenting my middle schoolers. This online course and 1:1 coaching has given me the insights and momentum I needed as a parent. I feel more confident, and there's a tangible difference in both of my daughter's behavior because I feel like I know what I'm doing!"    

S.A., 6th & 8th grade Parent

MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCES

My son has significant learning disabilities, and Ashley's approach to working with our family, and her connection with my son has been priceless.  She has a wealth of knowledge in the area of supporting a student's executive function and social emotional skills. Most of all, every time she's with him (whether middle school prep camp or 1:1) she intuitively meets him where he is at in that moment and supports his development from that point. It takes a unique person to be able to teach in such a dynamic way.  Best of all, she has a way of making every experience meaningful to him! For that, we get buy-in from our son we don't see in any other learning environment.

BEST CAMP EXPERIENCE EVER

"Our son is doing SO well in middle school. Before Middle School Prep Camp he hated camps and was really nervous. I know his confidence and positive attitude have come from your camp. It was the best thing I could've ever exposed him to!"

SON LOVES IT

"Our son Elliot had the pleasure of working with Ashley his last year in elementary school.  He was completely taken with her from day one, as we were. For us as parents, Ashley's strength is not only seeing the individual potential of each and every child she works with, but also in adapting her approach to how that particular child learns, communicates and functions with his or her peers.  She is a genius at drawing out that little bit of extra potential, often overlooked by others.

SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT

“My daughter has gained so much through working with Ashley that cannot even be measured.  I've witnessed significant improvement in the areas of organization, goal-setting, taking responsibility for herself and her actions, finding her voice to interact effectively with both peers and adults, academic achievement and improvement, self growth and improved mindset."

E. Pazol, BVSD Parent
