Teen and pre-teen programmes

We suggest a $100 koha per term to help cover overhead costs and ensure we can continue offering these valuable programmes. However, we are committed to keeping our programmes accessible to everyone, so this contribution is entirely optional.

We are located at Level 2, 18 Brougham street, New Plymouth.

We have thoughtfully designed our programmes to align with the unique stages of adolescence and brain development. Through a blend of education, interactive activities, art, and open discussions, we create a safe and supportive environment where girls can explore, learn, and share their experiences.

Topics We Cover Include:

• Building Self-Confidence and Positive Identity: Helping girls embrace their individuality and develop a strong sense of self.

• Understanding the Adolescent Brain: Exploring how their brains are developing and what it means for their emotions and behavior.

• Physical and Emotional Changes: Providing knowledge and tools to navigate these natural transitions with confidence.

• Challenging Negative Self-Talk and Beliefs: Cultivating a positive mindset and self-compassion.

• Social Media and Technology: Encouraging mindful and healthy use of digital platforms.

• Daily Habits of Self-Care: Teaching routines that support mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

• Healthy Peer Relationships: Building the skills for connection, communication, and conflict resolution.

• Creating a Vision Around Who You Want to Be: Empowering girls to set intentions and embrace their potential.

Our programmes are designed to equip girls with the tools they need to navigate adolescence with resilience, confidence, and a strong sense of self.

Hi, I’m Elle! For the past four years, I’ve been running programmes and retreats to support pre-teens and teens as they navigate the often confusing and challenging adolescent years.

Growing up, I faced my own struggles with mental health, and I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel. That’s why I’m so passionate about sharing my story and the tools I’ve learned along the way. My goal is to help you understand what’s really going on during this time of change and empower you with the knowledge and confidence to handle it.

This isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about creating a space where you can feel supported, heard, and inspired to grow into the best version of yourself. We’re in this together!
