Empowering Youth to Connect to Their Awareness & Thrive in Changing Times
My mission is to empower youth and those who engage with them to thrive by remaining conscious of their strengths and inner compass, joyful in their body and open to a full spectrum of possibilities.
Bringing together decades of parenting, educating as a special educator and facilitating as an Access Consciousness ® Facilitator, I enable the possibility of something far greater for youth of all ages. I deliver these tools through keynote speaking, smaller group interactive workshops, and follow through one on one when needed.
Offering simple, pragmatic tools so youth can:
-
release anxiety and stress to allow everyday happiness
-
cultivate inner sovereignty and confidence
-
use conscious choice to create the life they desire
-
connect and communicate with their bodies
Cathleen allows children and teens to see their own strengths and abilities.

Cathleen's Talks
Strategies for Youth in Strengthening their Inner Compass for Resilience
For youth of all ages to stay conscious and mindful of their own inner sovereignty, they need to be given a chance to hone these skills.
-
become aware and celebrate their strengths, interests and talents
-
tune into their own knowing and awareness outside of peer influence
-
have comfort and communication with their body
This talk can address youth directly or the people who are engaging with them.
School Supports for Youth to Thrive Among the "Herd"
Students come from diverse backgrounds with varying needs into a system that often requires them to conform and fit in.
This talk addresses how teachers can still nurture the individuality of each student and allow student choice when possible.
Also, I discuss exercises that can easily be done in a classroom to bring back ease of learning and body awareness.
