Life Coaching for Kids!
During all stages of development, children benefit from nurturing offered by others. It provides a sense of safety and security. Powerful resilience can be cultivated within children as they learn how to be nurturing to themselves!
The best way for children to learn how to self-regulate and self-soothe is by learning about how their amazing brain and magnificent nervous system create their emotional and physical experiences.
As a certified life coach through the Adventures in Wisdom™ Life Coaching for Kids program, I have been joyfully amazed at the growth and learning of young children in how to better manage their thoughts, emotions and behavior.
Learning about their brain and nervous system, through the AIW story-based curriculum, empowers kids to feel more comfortable with their emotions, better understand where emotions come from and how to regulate them.
Children are better prepared to govern themselves, enhance self-responsibility, shift their thinking into supporting beliefs, increase self-esteem, manage change, handle anxiety, and so much more!
The 27 modules of this globally-implemented and critically-acclaimed curriculum offer support for children in wide variety of circumstances and challenges.

"My daughter's] anxiety has gone down a considerable amount. When she spilled milk the other day, she cleaned it and calmly said "that's ok! Accidents happen" instead of being upset about not being perfect. This was huge for our house! As we don't expect perfection."

MEET COACH MICHELLE
Michelle Cox - Mindset Coach
Michelle was born in Canada to an American father and a Peruvian mother. She was raised in Indiana, Maryland, Finland and Germany. Growing up overseas, Michelle was able to travel to twenty different countries and experience many cultures. Inspired by a love for people and what makes them unique, she received her Associates degree in Psychology, then her Bachelors degree in Family Sciences with an emphasis in Human Development.
Marrying her best friend, Neal, following graduation, Michelle determined to get as much real-life hands-on experience as possible by starting a family and staying home to raise her kids. She called it her "personal practicum" and planned to become certified as a Family Life Educator once her youngest started school.
Six children and 19 years later, Michelle returned to the workforce, first as a teacher aide at an elementary school, then as a certified life coach for kids and teens. Completing her certification through Adventures in WISDOM™ Life Coaching for Kids, Michelle has set out to directly respond to the emotional and behavioral challenges that she observed in the classroom, and has responded to in her own home for the past twenty-two years. She offers private coach, group workshops on Zoom and in person, as well as the popular mindset summer camps held at the Nacogdoches County Expo Center.
Knowing the strain of family life and work demands, Michelle expanded her reach in the Fall of 2023 to include adult resilience workshops and classes, as well as private relationship coaching. It is her firm belief that the secret to world peace is found in strong parent-child relationships.
In 2024, Michelle was trained and certified as a Youth Mental Health First Aid Instructor for Burke, a major mental health provider East Texas. She visits school districts and community groups across her region to inform adults on the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges and substance use issues in the youth they work or live with, and how to connect youth with appropriate professional care. Having lost an older brother by suicide in 1999, Michelle is determined to prevent tragedy through information and awareness, as well as offering hope that recovery is possible.
Armed with decades of life experience and two years as a life coach, Michelle brings enthusiasm, wisdom, humor and compassion to her work.
