Sometimes the signs are quieter than we expect.
As a mum of teenagers, I’ve been there. I know how easy it can be to look at a change in behaviour and think,
“What’s going on?” or “Why is she acting like this?”
But underneath the anger, withdrawal, overthinking or constant worry, there can sometimes be a young person trying to process a lot.
Friendships.
School pressures.
Changing bodies.
Comparison.
Big emotions.
And the pressure of figuring out who they are.
Our girls don’t always have the words to tell us what’s going on.
Sometimes they need us to look beyond the behaviour and ask, “What might be happening underneath?”
This is one of the reasons I created Rise Up Strong a 10-week wellbeing program for girls aged 11–13, giving them a safe space to understand themselves, build confidence and learn practical tools to manage worry, emotions and everyday challenges.
If this sounds like something your daughter could benefit from, I’d love to tell you more.
DM me RISE and I’ll send you the program information and upcoming dates.
And if you know a mum who might need to read this, share this post with her.❤️

A NEW PROGRAM FOR GIRLS STEPPING INTO HIGH SCHOOL
What if your daughter could start high school feeling a little more confident, connected and prepared?
Starting high school is a big transition. New expectations, new friendships and lots of unknowns can bring excitement but also worry, self-doubt and overwhelm.
That’s why I’ve created Rise Up Strong, a new 10-week wellbeing pilot program for girls aged 11–13 years, designed to support them through this important transition.
Across the program, girls will explore:
* Building confidence and self-belief
* Understanding feelings and managing worry
* Nervous system regulation and practical calming tools
* Resilience and positive self-talk
* Healthy friendships and boundaries
* Body confidence and self-care
* Discovering their strengths and what makes them unique
Through yoga, mindfulness, breathwork, movement, reflection and guided conversations, girls will build a toolkit of practical skills they can take with them into high school and beyond.
AND THERE'S MORE...
Thanks to a generous grant from the Yoga for Good Foundation Yoga for Good this pilot program is being offered FREE to participating families
Limited places available.
If your daughter is preparing to start high school and you’d love to give her a supportive space to build confidence, connection and resilience, I’d love for her to be part of Rise Up Strong.

This term in our yoga programs, we’re doing more than just yoga ✨
Children are learning about their bodies in ways that feel safe, playful and empowering.
Through movement, breath, mindfulness, games and connection, children are learning:
• about their body systems
• ways to calm busy minds
• building confidence
• posture and back strength to support growing bodies
• how breath, movement and the body work together
In a world where many children are feeling overwhelmed these classes give them tools they can actually use in everyday life 💛
