Nicole has created a beautiful space for girls to do what they do best... shine!"

"The virtual retreat for parents was so fun! I loved watching each girl step into her leadership to ultimately share her gifts. From playing a guessing game, to Name the Tune, to learning to draw a Unicorn, the girls and moms were all engaged and in the flow from the moment it started to the very end. My daughter and I are both very much looking forward to the next event with Nicole!"
Girls loved the virtual retreat too. Here's what one girl had to say:
“Most of the time the moms are in charge of everything. It’s fun to boss them around too.”

Hi there!
I'm Nicole. As a mentor and educational therapist, I love to create supportive environments for kids and teens to thrive and be seen for who they are, just as they are. I grew up (and still live) in the San Francisco Bay Area and often felt stressed out and disconnected during my preteen and teen years. Once I graduated from college, I discovered a whole world of resources to help with stress and disconnection that I didn't learn about in school: women's circles, yoga classes and my favorite..... retreats! Through retreats and other trainings, I've studied leadership, vocal empowerment, movement, mindfulness and much more. I became a Qoya Movement teacher as well as a certified kids' yoga teacher. As I took all of these trainings, I kept thinking to myself, "How can girls get these resources and experiences earlier in life?" Girls Shine Bright is my creative solution to just that! I hope your daughter join us for this leadership series! - Nicole |
