Nurturing kids to be confident & self-assured teens & adults

Confident Kid Collective

As a former educator, nanny, and eating disorder recovery coach, I’ve seen firsthand how early body-image struggles, low self-esteem, and disordered eating begin — often at home, in classrooms, and during puberty.

After struggling with an eating disorder for over 10 years, starting at just 13, I know how powerful it is to have safe, supportive spaces to talk about body changes, emotions, and self-worth. My mission is to help kids and teens build confidence, practice compassion, and understand that healthy bodies come in all shapes and sizes.

That’s where Confident Kid Collective comes in — a four-lesson unit designed to teach emotional regulation, body confidence, and self-awareness through age-appropriate conversations and interactive learning.

✨ 4-Lesson Curriculum

1. Core Values & Strengths
Objective: Students will explore their personal core values and learn how aligning their actions with their values leads to a fulfilling life. They’ll identify their unique strengths and discover that embracing what makes them special builds genuine confidence.

2. Navigating Big Emotions
Objective: Students will learn how to recognize and cope with emotions in healthy ways through self-care, mindfulness, and breathwork. They’ll understand that all emotions are valid — and gain tools to navigate feelings with confidence and empathy.

3. Body Image & Navigating Body Changes
Objective: Students will gain knowledge about puberty and body diversity, learning that every body changes differently. They’ll explore body image and acceptance, discuss how media and social influences affect self-perception, and practice kindness toward their growing bodies and others.

4. Healthy & Happy Bodies
Objective: Students will learn the foundations of holistic wellness — including intuitive eating, joyful movement, rest, and emotional well-being. They’ll understand that “healthy” looks different for everyone, and that caring for their body means listening to and respecting it.

💬 School Talks & Workshops

In addition to the curriculum, I also offer school talks and workshops for students who are struggling with body image, self-esteem, or confidence. These sessions can be tailored for age groups ranging from late elementary through high school and can be presented as assemblies, classroom lessons, or small group discussions.

Together, we can create environments where kids feel safe, seen, and empowered to grow confidently into who they are meant to be.

The greatest thing you can give a child is confidence.
