Empowering mums to raise strong, confident preteen girls

The Mothering Girls’ Mission

To educate, support and inspire mums and their pre-teen girls on how to live resilient, strong and connected, in today’s world.

Why?

There is so little support for mums of pre-teens yet it is such a critical age for preparing our girls for the world. It is too late to wait until adolescence hits to equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive.

Research has shown that stable, loving and responsive relationships are fundamental to a girl’s development. Relationships where she learn how to think, understand, communicate and develop social skills. And one of her most important relationships is with you – her mum!

Mothering Girls is dedicated to creating a tribe of women who take on the challenge of helping our girls navigate these challenging but rewarding years ahead and reach their full potential.

Here’s to strong women. May we know them. May we be them.

Connected & Understood

The connection we have with our girls goes through a huge change in the preteen years. Let me help you use the preteen years to really enrich and connect with her in a way that lasts into the teen years!

Mindful & Resilient

As our girls grow into the teens she will inevitably face hard stuff. Our programs prepare her with a rich toolbox of tools so she knows exactly how to tackle those hard things when they come her way.

Supported & Whole

Every one of our girls is unique. There is only one of her in the whole world! At Mothering Girls we ask the question, “how can we help every preteen girl learn to love exactly who she is?”
