Girls Circle Inc. Program

The Girls Circle is a model of structured support groups for girls from 9-18 years. It is designed to foster self-esteem, help girls maintain authentic connection with peers and adult women in their community, counter trends toward self-doubt, and allow for genuine self-expression through verbal sharing and creative activity.

Each week, a group of six to ten girls of similar age and development meet with me for a couple of hours. During this time the girls take turns talking and listening to one another about their concerns and interest.

The girls can express themselves further through creative or focused activities such as:

Often times themes are introduced which relate to the girls‘ lives such as:

The Girls Circle model can be applied to programs in areas such as:

Life Coach For Teens
I often think of how my life would have been different if, as a teen, I had access to positive role-models and mentors in my life. It is now my passion to offer powerful tools to teen girls to promote health on every level: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.

The benefits of having a mentor and life coach as a teen are endless and could just be life saving!

Women’s Circles

Celebrating and supporting women to ignite their passions, raise up their voices and step into their personal power in a wonderful supportive community setting. We come together in a sacred space and nature to retreat and renew our souls!

How are you, really?
How is Connection to your Self?
How is your Connection to Mother Earth?
How is your Connection to your Community?
A women’s circle is a principle as well as a shape.

A women’s circle is an opportunity to step out of your busy life,
gather with other women and share your pain, celebrate your joy and are kin.
Sometimes we share ideas and suggestions, as an equal to an equal.

"Groups run by and for women are our psychic turf; our place to discover who we are,
or who we could become, as whole independent human beings.
Somewhere in our lives, each of us needs a place, a little psychic territory. Do you have yours?"
~ Gloria Steinman
