Eighteen months ago, wanting to give her children a better future, Amanda Aarons, her husband and two children immigrated to New Zealand. South Africa “Is a hectic place” and it was time for a change.
Relocating teenagers is a tough move. It’s hard to move and leave everything they know, this I know first hand.
Since being in New Zealand, Amanda’s focus has been on settling her children in. Not one to sit idle though, while she was doing that, Amanda began to do a life coaching course.
“It really gave me some insight into other teens and how they too have similar issues, I discovered that using art as an ice breaker, is was an excellent way to get kids to really open up about what thy are feeling, and experiencing. Art seems to refocus the kids and while they are working their ability to share and open up is less guarded.”
Amanda, also a talented artist, is now working as a creative tutor and life coach. She has created workshops that have managed to help teens create long term visions that help with focused goal setting, gratitude and values, self esteem and image. A process that I’m told, in over a short few weeks really makes a marked difference in these kids lives.
I love the concept behind this. A place to meet other teens and learn real life coping skills. A sense of belonging and understanding is so important for our teens. Best of all the first session is free and obligation free. Amanda also offers one to one tutoring for all ages, so if you’re in Auckland and interested in learning more contact her.
