About us

For Preschool and Primary school aged children. For children who want to do better in life.

Our Authentic Child program believes in Planting the seeds for emotional health and wellbeing – enabling your child to live their BEST LIFE!

As parents, our biggest wish is for our children to do their very best in life. We are all aware of the struggles our children deal with in this modern world, our children very often buckle under societies pressure and end up self-loathing, using alcohol and drugs, and one in five of them suffering from mental health issues.

Our program was designed by a Child and Family COUNSELLOR who believes that we need to teach our children from a very young age how to remain strong and connected to their Authentic selves, and to always know that they, as individuals have all the power within themselves they need to help them achieve their best lives.

We hold weekly workshops for children 3-12 years old. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and Saturdays. Both am and pm classes are available. Additionally, we run school holiday workshops and home-schooling classes. Our program is perfect for special needs children. We also have a Child and Family counselling practice that specialises in child anxiety, resilience, bullying issues and parent separation/step parents – these are often the very things that rob children of their sparkle.

Our classes are decidedly small and fill quickly each year. Our program is intended as an emotional life skills program that most children enroll in for a year or more – although per term they will learn some important skills. We do this with fun games, including costumes and microphones, props and unique brain and emotional exercises!

We believe that young children should be targeted before they have their authenticity eroded.

We are the ONLY Child related business that offers this in Newcastle – we believe children learn best when they are having fun. Our tutors teach the children through a multi-medium technique, including drama, yoga, mindfulness and physical movement – the children have so much fun they don’t realise that they are learning important life skills.

So, if you want your child to be taught the tools of emotional stability, enable them to have open conversations about what and how they are feeling, for us to educate them on their individual and unique skills – all to enable them to be emotionally intelligent. It’s time to enrol with us for 2017.

Is this something your child would benefit from? Are you willing to start a good mental/emotional/spiritual plan for your child to help them through life when it gets tough?

To show them alternatives to emotional breakdowns, self-harm and self-abuse?

We believe that this kind of program is equally important as Swimming Lessons from your child- we refer to it as  swimming lessons for your child’s emotional resilience – each class they get stronger and more capable to tackle the sea of teenage life.

In a nutshell

We offer weekly workshops for children 3-12 years old (preschool and primary school aged). Held in our Broadmeadow studio. Both am and pm classes are available.

We offer home-schooling classes that are curriculum based and school holiday workshops. Our program is designed and tutored by a child and family counsellor, whom you have access to through the program. Our program is perfect for special needs children.

We are awaiting NDIS approval. However, self-funded participants are able to be reimbursed.

In our program, we remind your child that they are authentically strong and gifted. We teach them the tools of resilience, self-love, how to be confident in public speaking and debating, and teach them coping skills for life’s ups and downs.

We teach your child, in small classes, to be an independent thinker, to love themselves and to live their best lives.
