Welcome to Bolster Coaching
Life coaching for youth, young adults, and those who care about them.
Getting a bolster, an assist, a lift, from a caring adult and trained professional cultivates:
-
deep self-awareness and empowered action
-
greater self-confidence
-
better decision making
-
increased mental health
-
improved relationships
Accessing new tools and strategies helps young people achieve their goals and dreams.
Coaching is also available for parents who could use a bolster so that they can best support their teen or young adult.
