Contact UsAbout Us
Hi, we’re Jen & Mandy, the coaches at Empowered Minds Kids Studio.
As experienced elementary educators, we loved nothing more than connecting and forming real relationships with our students, but more and more we saw the need for inspiring and guiding children to reach their full potential, build resilience, and develop essential life skills that just couldn’t happen to the fullest extent in the classroom.
We embarked on our Kids Life Coaching journey and are certified Kids Life Coaches dedicated to nurturing the true potential of every child.Â

We specialize in providing unconditional support for the whole-child and family. We’re committed to fostering resilience, self-esteem, and positive growth in the next generation.
We’re also moms who get just how hard being a parent can be! Parenting is an ever evolving role and finding supportive cheerleaders is essential in this journey. This perspective allows us to connect with families in a very real and authentic non judgmental way. We certainly don’t claim or promise to have any magical quick fixes, but we do promise to walk alongside you as we figure it out together.
Our Mission
At Empowered Minds Kids Studio, our mission is to empower children to discover their unique strengths, develop lifelong skills, and believe in themselves through authentic relationships and intentional, play-based coaching.
We nurture the whole child, creating meaningful opportunities for discovery, growth, and connection. We partner with families to help children build a strong foundation of self-awareness, resilience, confidence, and well-being that extends far beyond our studio walls.
what is kids life coaching?
At Empowered Minds Kids Studio, we believe that how we coach is just as important as what we coach.
Our method brings together genuine human connection, intentional play-based experiences, and strengths-based coaching to nurture the whole child and build a foundation for life.
We recognize that every child comes to us with their own personality, strengths, interests, experiences, and needs. Rather than expecting children to fit into a predetermined approach, we adapt our coaching to meet each child where they are.
We don’t simply teach skills. We create meaningful experiences where children can discover, practice, apply, and ultimately take ownership of those skills in their everyday lives.

Coaching Services
Our coaching programs help children discover their strengths, develop lifelong skills, and build a strong foundation for emotional, mental, physical, and social well-being. Designed primarily for kids ages 4–14, our programs nurture the whole child through genuine connections, purposeful play, and individualized coaching experiences.
We recognize that every child is wonderfully unique! That’s why we begin with a Whole-Child Wellness Assessment and family consultation to understand your child’s strengths, interests, needs, and areas of growth. From there, we tailor their coaching experience to support meaningful goals and celebrate progress along the way.
And because growth doesn’t stop when a coaching session ends, our programs include take-home tools and family connections that help kids practice their developing skills in everyday life.
Our goal? To help kids believe in themselves, grow through life’s experiences, and build a foundation for life!

name, so we invite you to schedule a brief call for us to connect and learn more about your goals for your child.
There’s No Silly Question… Ask Away!
What is the difference between a kids life coach and a counselor?
Therapy or counseling typically works to heal past trauma or underlying behavioral issues. Kids Life coaching is the process of determining goals (mindset, lifestyle, behavioral, etc) and the obstacles preventing the child from reaching those goals.
Kids Life coaching is not only for children experiencing problematic behaviors, either. All children can benefit from having a supportive unbiased adult as a cheerleader and life navigator by their side. Children are children and they tend to make impulsive decisions based on immediate gratification. All children have the ability to be coached to self-evaluate and reflect on their choices, so the behaviors they choose set them up for success.
How do I know if my child would benefit from kids life coaching?
No two children or families are alike, so this is a personal question that will depend on your child’s needs. We offer an initial family consultation as a way to meet your family and establish the outcomes you’re looking for. Prior to our consultation we ask that you complete the online Lifestyle Assessment as a way of giving us a full and clear picture of your child, so we can make the best recommendations to suit your family’s needs. In the initial consultation session, you’ll get to experience a few of our play-based coaching techniques and learn more about the benefits of coaching. After it all, you and your child can make an informed decision about how you wish to move forward.
Will my insurance company cover kids life coaching sessions?
Unfortunately, insurance companies do not currently recognize kids life coaching as a medically necessary service, so it is not covered under most insurance plans. However, many families are able to use HSA, FSA, or HRA funds to help with the cost. While these cards typically do not process directly, families have successfully submitted receipts for reimbursement. In some cases, a letter of medical necessity from your child’s pediatrician can support that process, and we are happy to provide detailed receipts to make it as smooth as possible.
Will my child enjoy their coaching session?
ABSOLUTELY! The emphasis of all our coaching programs is on having FUN! We get kids and we know they learn best while having fun and playing. We’re highly interactive, including experiments, sensory play, arts & crafts, toys, games, role play.. You name it and we do it! Kids like to stay busy, so we tap into that natural need for exploration and discovery all the while teaching them life skills that are easily being transferred because they are actually practicing them. We don’t believe in worksheets or “homework”, but we do believe in hands-on tools to make the learning stick. Each child receives a tangible tool-kit filled with motivational resources to help them outside of our coaching.
