I am a Certified Mindset & Life Coach for Youth and Early Childhood Educator. I offer private one on one sessions and small group workshops that are deeply rooted in child development, social and emotional learning and supporting the mental health of children. Decades of research confirm these skills as essential for effective learning, sound decision making, physical and mental health, and success in life. The challenge is that we aren't just born with these skills. We must develop them in the same way that we learn to play the piano or catch a ball. I am honored to guide young children through positive mindset work. As a mom and teacher, I see the great power in nurturing mindsets especially during the primary school years, when children are forming beliefs about the world around them and experiencing new social settings and challenges for the first time. My mission is to empower children with a positive mindset and the skills to use the power of their minds through the unique opportunities and challenges of today. These are skills that children can use for the rest of their lives, and when they learn how to apply them to their own unique life experiences, they can truly create happiness from within, self confidence that sticks, and a fulfilling life.

Chelsea received a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education Interdisciplinary Studies from Liberty University. It is through her passionate studies of child development and social emotional learning that she then sought and received her license to coach young children. She is a member of the National Association for the Education of Young Children, the Family Life Coaching Association, and runs a local non-profit serving children born with cleft lip and palate with her husband.
Through a creative coaching process, activities and art, imaginative play and games, coaching stories are used to teach children powerful mindset skills. A safe environment is provided for children to explore, relate with, and practice the skills that support their ability to thrive through the ups and downs of growing up ~ without getting stuck or giving up on themselves. Through mindset development, the root of thought patterns that hold children back is the central focus.
Children learn how to:
manage life’s curveballs like a big change or disappointment so they can pick themselves up and go for it in life;
build self-esteem from the inside out so that it is based on who they are and not what they have achieved;
move through the common anxieties and fears by believing in themselves and creating courage to go for their dreams with self-confidence;
develop their “inner compass” and self-leadership skills to think for themselves, make good decisions, stay true to themselves and stand up to peer pressure;
set and achieve goals by creating a vision for what they want in life and achieving their goals so that they can reach their fullest potential; and
so much more.
We use the WISDOM™ system, a goal-oriented, proven story based coaching model and the power of stories to target transformation in key areas of mindset growth for life. Through stories, children get to hear relatable, real life problems in a non-threatening way through someone else’s shoes. Children appreciate getting in touch with their thoughts and feelings in this way and open their minds to see some of the most challenging skills in action. Enlightening story talks after the story open the door for children to apply the skills to their own lives under the guidance of a professional coach. Your child’s coach will carefully implement engaging and fun activities to give them a “hands on” experience to really anchor their learning. Oftentimes, parents are invited in during the last few minutes of coaching sessions so children have the opportunity to share some of their key takeaways. Parents also receive a take-home sheet with resources to carry the conversation on at home along with simple, yet powerful references to the stories that reinforce the skills they are working on as they take their action steps outside of our coaching sessions. Programs are generally 5-12 weeks long and can be customized to fit each child’s unique needs. Sessions are held once a week throughout the duration of a coaching program.
We are happy you are here! Today’s youth grow up in a rapidly changing world. Mindset skills help children navigate the unique ups and downs of today! Contact us here or message us on Facebook to inquire about one of our coaching programs.
Together, we will find a program that fits your child’s needs.
"I loved everything I have found about Adventures in Wisdom! It is actually exactly what I have been looking for. My child is 10. His teachers all say he lacks self-confidence, which is baffling to me. He is my only child and my whole world! I have learned some of the reasons through the information I received from Adventures in Wisdom! The information was mind-opening and I appreciate it."
— Melissa (Mom of 10-year-old daughter)
Looking in the mirror and not liking what is seen, struggling with friendships or competition, grades, and being excluded are just a few issues we all don’t want our children to get stuck with in life. If this describes what your child is going through, please contact us. I work to give children the tools to work through and/or face issues in new, exciting ways with confidence, resilience, and mental well-being. Our coaching programs serve children on the mental wellness side, empowering children to learn how to proactively build self-esteem and confidence, live life with direction and achieve their goals, develop resilience and coping skills to navigate through the challenges of life without getting stuck, and to be who they want to be in the world.
