I then spent 15 years as a dance teacher working with young people in dance studios, primary and secondary schools across the UK. I witnessed first hand young girls battle with their confidence, self esteem and body image. I was more than a dance teacher to many of the young people I taught, I was their mentor, encourager and cheerleader.

Now as a mum of four children (two of which are girls) I absolutely didn’t want my girls growing up feeling the same way that I did! I’m sure that many parents across the world share this same feeling.

One girl at a time…..

I began to search for information and tools that encouraged emotional and social literary, promoted wellbeing and positive self image. I researched positive psychology and completed courses in Neuro-linguistic Programming for children, Understanding Mental Health for young people and several parenting courses aimed at Raising Resilient and Confident children.

I am a big believer of ‘learning to teach’ so I have taken all the tools and information that I’ve learned and I wanted as many young girls to have access to it, not just my girls. This is how Accelerate Empowerment was born!

There are many shocking statistics regarding young girls but we can help change them…one girl at a time.
