3 Step Guide To Talk to Your Teen With more EASE
Marketing by

“Elise led me to finding freedom within my tightly wound body. She held a container for me that was so supportive I was able to drop in deep while connecting with my inner child. In this space I was brought to my knees many times and she was right there always guiding me to see the light, love, and confidence in myself that I may have never seen. Her work is deep and transformative as I use her practices and tools over and over again in my life as a parent, wife, friend, business owner, and woman. It's really touched me in all parts of my life. I am forever grateful!”— Jenn

Imagine spending the next 6 years/the rest of your life feeling confident in your choices as a mom, and connected to your daughter, no matter what.

Sounds great but…

  • The last 14 times you tried to connect with your teen, you said the wrong thing and it ended worse than before you started

  • You do want to know about what’s going on in her life, but when she told you about her new boyfriend, you were immediately transported back in time to worst-case scenario-land, and were suddenly convinced she would end up pregnant by 16, or broken-hearted on the bathroom floor. With these images swirling through your head you said something judgmental and ended up in an argument…. again.

  • You know you need to “put your oxygen mask on first”, but spending time and money on yourself feels selfish and hard. You just find it easier to focus on, and worry about fixing the other people’s problems, (your teen).

 

Well, not around here…

It’s time to say goodbye to feeling like a shitty parent who has no idea what you’re doing…

 

…and hello to feeling more confident in yourself and connected to your teen.

 

 

Get ready to start prioritizing yourself like it’s 1999

 

…or some other year when you were a teenager and the center of your own universe, (but in a healthy way that actually improves your relationships!)

I’m telling you, these years don’t have to suck!

It is possible to move through this time with more ease, trust, acceptance, and better communication so that you can truly enjoy spending time together as a family.

Kind Words

  • "Working with Elise has brought substantial change to my life and relationships. Rather than responding from fear as I have done for the past 50 years, I have learned how to communicate my emotions and needs without needing any response in return. This has really changed my relationships with my parents and siblings. In addition, as a mother of teens and young adults, I have learned how not to make it about my agenda and my needs, but simply to listen and come from a place of love and respect. It has really changed my relationship with my kids! My only regret was that I didn’t find Elise earlier as a mom. "

    Lisa

  • "Working with Elise was one of the best decisions we made for (and with) my 13 year old daughter. Having a safe, non-judgmental space for her to be seen, heard, and express herself was so supportive and I am deeply grateful to Elise for holding that space and providing safety."

    – Sivan (Teen Mom)

  • "Elise really helped me with everything this year. I had a great time talking with her and always looked forward to our sessions. She really helped me to be more accepting towards myself, and I felt like I could trust her with what I was saying."

    —M.M. (teen client)

  • “Before working with Elise I had crippling mom guilt. I felt like the joy was stripped away from motherhood, and all I could see was this gray and sad dynamic. After working with Elise I was freed of the guilt and worry clouding the dynamics between my daughter and I. I stepped into my gifts as a parent and a human.”

    — Esma A

  • "My daughter LOVED her sessions with Elise, and I could see the positive changes in her as she became clearer on her needs and her ability to express them. You don’t need to wait for your teen to struggle, having someone safe to talk to outside the family structure is invaluable. I wish I had someone like Elise in my life as a teen. "

    – Mom of teen

  • "Working with Elise was so great. The best thing about it was having someone I can trust outside of my family to talk about anything and feeling really safe to say stuff I wouldn’t have been able to tell anyone else. Elise helped me make progress with things I didn’t think I would be able to get through. She’s so much more than a coach, she really made me feel safe, and I know she really cares."

    — Gaia 14

  • "Elise has been absolutely transformational in my journey as a mother. I came to her seeking overall support, and validation, to gain greater insight into my stressors and to develop positive coping strategies and skills. Elise created a space of safety and comfort. She helped me see avenues and pathways in my life that I wasn't able to see on my own, and she gently and encouragingly helped me begin to walk those pathways toward decreased stress and increased engagement with my children, as well as overall happiness. Elise is unique in her ability to truly listen and engage with her clients. She looks at the whole picture, she is honest and straightforward, kind, supportive, and truly has a gift for coaching and helping her clients know themselves better and become the best versions of themselves. I would recommend Elise to anyone I know, with absolute raving, off-the-chart reviews! She is talented to the moon and stars and beyond!"

    — Hannah S

  • “Elise helped me identify and work on many aspects of my well-being. We talked about family, my health, and she helped reignite some of my old passions. Elise helped me identify the areas that were holding me back as well. I am so appreciative of her compassion and the personal investment that she made in supporting me. There is not just one area I would say that Elise has helped me with. She has a very well-rounded approach and helped me to identify the things that I wanted to work on and guided me through the process.I highly recommend working with Elise. She is not just an excellent coach, but a wonderful person. Her passion for helping others truly shines through.”

    —Lisa S

  • “I've loved working with Elise these past few months. She does a really good job with guiding and the general free structure of the sessions. The weekly goals were helpful with making short-term goals to better myself in the long-term. Elise helped make life seem a lot more manageable and helped to shift me out of my automatic response that is always having anxiety toward everything.”

    —A.C. (teen client)

  • My expectations were beyond met once my daughter started working with Elise. I was seeing great growth in my daughter. She trusted Elise and she seemed at little more comfortable in her own skin after each session with Elise. She was able to work through some anxiety issues that she had been struggling with for years. One day she turned to me and said “mom, I used to have such a hard time with anxiety and I just don’t anymore. I have learned to work with my anxiety and Elise helped me with that” I was so happy to know that she had been taught some great tools to help her with her anxiety. Beyond that, my daughter says that her confidence has improved, she has learned to handle stress better and learned time management. All this growth was in a relatively short period of time and now my daughter will let me know when she feels like she needs to have another session with Elise. I am so grateful to Elise and the work she has done to help my daughter and me. I love knowing we don’t have to do this alone and that we can always go to Elise to for help.

    -Becky B.

  • I absolutely loved my teen working with Elise, it gave her a person that she trusted, that she could talk to. She was always in an uplifted mood after her sessions with Elise. Elise was really supportive during the 3 month sessions. My teen did a total of 3 sessions with Elise and it made a huge difference in her mental health and relationship with herself. I'm so grateful to Elise for the work she does, it's hard work being a teen.

    -Jamie S.
