Teen & Young Adult Coaching
for a Healthy and Confident Teen Life
Teen Health & Wellness Coaching
Navigating the challenges of adolescence can feel overwhelming and lead to unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. For teenagers struggling with self-esteem and negative self-beliefs, it often manifests into unhealthy eating behaviors and body dysmorphia.
Is your teen experiencing struggles with their eating and feeling like they can’t control it?
Are they constantly judging their body, comparing and despairing they don’t measure up?
Are they down on themselves, feeling “not enough”, and lacking confidence?
These are all signs your teen is struggling with their self-esteem and don’t know how to change it.
They focus on appearance, weight, and food to try and resolve their inner conflict.
The result is, it takes over their thoughts, feelings and their life!
But it doesn’t have to be that way.

“Through Leslie’s coaching, I have gained the ability to recognize that restricting is not always the key to achieving your goal, but mindfulness leads you there.
Before we began our sessions, I viewed indulging in sweets as a guilty action, and something to be avoided.
Now, I allow myself to continue to indulge in sweets that I crave, just on a more thoughtful basis that will maintain my overall health. This has removed the shame that has previously been felt when deciding to eat something considered “unhealthy”.
My biggest ‘aha’ moment was definitely understanding this fact. When I finally grasped it, my cravings became less frequent and I found more joy in eating sweet treats on occasion rather than daily. “
Why Coaching For Teens
Your teenager has been struggling for a while. She’s trying to feel good about her body, attempting diets, restrictive eating and exercise. She’s overwhelmed with self-judgement, tying her self-worth to external validation while hiding her anxiety and longing to become more confident, more accepted, more connected. She’s been seeking help, trying everything and feeling unsuccessful. It’s a daily struggle and she just wants solutions.
You’ve tried so much. Helping with diets, offering advice, taking her to doctors, therapists and fitness trainers. You’ve spent time, money and a lot of mental energy with little success. You’re feeling overwhelmed and frustrated too. Nothing seems to work and your daughter’s anxiety and self-judgment is only getting worse. She may be hiding most of what she’s feeling (or doing) with her eating but you know all is not well.
If you could only do something about it.
You Can!
Investing in your teen’s health and wellness through coaching is the solution. It’s the key to ending his challenges and transforming his life.
Weight, body image, anxiety and self-esteem challenges are not quick overnight fixes. It takes dedicated time. It takes the experience and know-how of a coach who specializes in teen and college-age young adults. It takes a coach who understands their unique challenges and has the necessary strategies to get real, transformative, and lasting change.
The key difference with my coaching is looking at the parts and the whole of your child’s being. It’s a proactive approach that looks forward and seeks positive change. I work with them to strengthen all of him and not just one area. Resolving one challenge is like patching a single hole in a boat riddled with holes. It slows the sinking but the end result is the same.
With my coaching program, we work together on all of who she is and all the power she holds. We work on what’s been keeping her stuck and focus on what she is capable of, not what’s “wrong”. We take on the possible and make it happen. Most of all, my coaching approach recognizes your teenager is a complex person and making true, deep change takes work on all levels. From changes in eating and health to growth in mindset, shifts in habits and evolution in her actions. It takes inner work that blooms into outer action. The more she does the inner work to shift and evolve, the more she’ll thrive.
All it takes is one small step to help her to grow, bloom and thrive.

What Clients Say…
Real Health & Confidence Change That Lasts
Do you want to know the real key to helping your teenager overcome her challenges with deep and lasting results? It’s through coaching that addresses her whole: health, mental wellness and life.
Weight loss isn’t just about cutting calories or a trendy diet. Weight gain isn’t solved by eating more. Overcoming eating challenges isn’t a quick fix. Sure, you can get temporary results but it won’t last and the root challenges will persist. It goes deeper. The body is the symptom, not the root cause. It starts with mindset and beliefs.
My coaching will work on all levels to help eliminate the roadblocks that are getting in the way of your child’s full potential and open the door for a powerful, self-directed future. My programs incorporate healthy changes naturally. We uncover what’s been keeping them stuck and they’ll learn to overcome those challenges with strength and conviction. We’ll identify central goals and sow the seeds that help them grow stronger and bloom fully. They’ll have fun discovering what works for them and learn to honor their body first and follow-through with actions and behaviors that match. Most of all, your child will be motivated to make transformational steps in order to achieve the success they deeply desire.
Your teen’s life is just beginning, help establish a path of powerful, self-directed success. Give her the gift of coaching that eliminates the obstacles and provides meaningful tools that can be used right now and at any stage of her life.

If you or your teenager have gone through therapy, you know how slow and long it can take to see results. Sometimes yielding small changes, sometimes not at all.
