About me

In my time as a counselor and motivational speaker, I’ve worked with students facing both academic challenges and emotional struggles like stress or trauma. Sometimes, a slight adjustment, like changing study routines, can make all the difference. With a passion for motivation and years of experience in self-esteem and coaching, I’m here to guide your child toward building healthy habits and reaching their full potential. Having overcome personal challenges, including heart disease, I know firsthand the power of perseverance. I am dedicated to helping students thrive, no matter what they face.

My 12 yr old daughter has been using Coachbit now for some time and I can honestly say it has been a fantastic journey. When we started, her response to time management and responsibility was very erratic and spontaneous to when she felt like it. Needless to say she wasn't very disciplined and was highly emotionally driven. Through the coaching, which she is always excited for, she has learned some very key skills that I was not successful in teaching. I had reached my wits end previously and so Coachbit was a real win when we came across it. At first it was odd, not personally being involved but needing to allow the process to unfold. Now I recognize how this approach is part and parcel of the success, the growth of discipline and Independence is because the skills have been nurtured at a pace that she able and a space that ultimately belongs to her. The thing that matters to me is that the changes that have come as a result, are part of her character now and not just a display to impress/manipulate me to get what she wants. She is recognizing the benefit for herself, perhaps in some ways unwittingly but the changes are grabbing hold none the less. Sometimes the progress was slow, but the foundation is solid and I'm beginning to recognize the exponential persistent growth of skills and character that will hopefully serve her well throughout her life! Thank you Coachbit!

Worked great for our son I saw an improvement in my son's organization and time management. He seemed to get a lot out of the instruction.

Coachbit has provided my child with a constant stimulation and motivation towards improvement of herself, her habits and motivation. She is constantly learning new things and is challenged with accountability to keep improving and keep laziness at bay. Its tough for her to maintain the commitment which is good in itself as it teaches her perseverance and the content certainly teaches her things that I struggle to find the time for.
