Coaching for Teens & Young Adults
Does your daughter or son struggle with their weight or hate their body? Does she have body anxiety and low self-confidence?
It goes a lot like this: your teen worries constantly with how she looks and feels about herself and her body. It consumes her thoughts and behaviors. She often eats to cope with emotions, has uncontrollable cravings and eats processed “junk” foods. Or, finds herself overeating when she’s not even hungry. She’s may be trying diets, calorie counting, restricting, or eliminating foods. On top of it she’s developed anxiety about her body and eating, has low self-esteem and is constantly worried about others’ opinions of her and how she measures up.
The result? The happy, active and engaging child you once knew has been replaced by an self-judging and unhappy teen or young adult who’s struggling with their eating and self-worth. If your journey is anything like mine, then finding help through doctors and nutritionists has been difficult and frustrating, leading to dead ends and a defeated and hopeless child.
There are so few practitioners who specialize in helping teens with their body image and eating, or fully understand their specific needs.
A nutritionist might help with food changes and meal plans but can’t cure your child’s damaged self-worth and confidence. A therapist will focus on his mental wellness “problems” but not solve his eating habits or weight issues. A doctor will tell him to eat less sugar, recommend exercise, or even give B-12 shots but never address the root cause of his eating, beliefs and emotions.
All these professionals leave you trying to patch it all together to get a positive result. It’s exhausting, expensive and typically fails.
That’s how it was for my daughter and me, so I decided to change all that through my health and life coaching program for teens and college-age young adults. Through individualized coaching we break down limiting beliefs, end harmful eating behaviors, and build self-love and self-care to overcomes their greatest body image and eating challenges.
Hi, I’m Leslie
I’m a master certified health and life coach, and certified nutritionist working with teens and college-age young adults who continually struggle with their weight, eating, body dissatisfaction, and constant self-judgement, leaving them with low self-esteem, anxiety and a lack confidence that dramatically inhibits their ability to live life fully.
Working together, they are able to triumph over weight and body anxiety challenges, take back their personal power, become fully confident in who they are as a unique individual, and most of all, achieve the life and happiness they deeply desire.
My goal is to help every client Grow. Bloom. Thrive.
Testimonials
Jeannie D.
“Before working with Leslie, my sixteen-year old daughter was struggling with anxieties about weight, food and general life issues. Leslie helped my daughter through reframing exercises and planning that helped her have a better relationship with food and her perception about her body. What makes Leslie stand out is the devotion and time she took. In the end, Leslie empowered my daughter to better communicate and to do her own reframing on a daily basis.”
Denise C.
“Working with Leslie has taught me a lot about myself and why I am the person that I am. My initial goal was weight loss, but I learned much more. I learned that I have to be kinder to myself because any goal takes a mindful discipline and a positive outlook – and she dives deep into these things. I discovered that I was over-eating with a destructive mindset.
Coaching from Leslie changed my mindset for the better and to be kinder to myself. I know that I am finally on track to eating better and becoming healthier. I really appreciate Leslie and all the help she has given me. She is so kind and respectful during our talks and always makes me feel comfortable to open up. I highly recommend Leslie, she will help you achieve your goals.”
Aya F.
“I loved working with Leslie. I loved how I never felt judged of my bad eating habits and how I felt safe talking to her. She was very understanding and helped me improve mentally and physically. She never made me feel disappointed with myself when I wasn’t making any progress but instead helped me understand why, what was getting in my way and how I could overcome it. She also helped change my view of food.
Leslie always went above and beyond in trying to help me. It didn’t feel like I hired a nutritionist, it felt like I hired someone to help me get my life back together. She listened to my problems, gave me feedback and showed me how I could approach things. Her feedback was always useful. I benefited a lot from working with Leslie.
She would be the first person I would recommend to anyone who struggles with food.”
