Town: Wells, UK
Girls Journeying Together groups: Wells, Somerset
It’s such a privilege to offer a nurturing girl’s group for your daughter where she can meet new friends and have fun whilst preparing for her teen years. Your daughter will join a group of Girls Journeying Together (ages 10 to 12) where every girl is welcomed and celebrated just as she is. The girls are supported through the transition to secondary school, and helped to feel at ease with themselves at a time when they experience a lot of change both inside and out.
The group meets monthly for a year and through fun activities, your daughter will gain lasting confidence in areas including;
- Knowing what to expect and feeling comfortable in her changing body
- Trusting her feelings and learning how to manage them
- Tuning into her inner compass
- Being a good friend and choosing the kind of friendships she wants
You will join a mother’s circle giving you a valuable network of other women all navigating parenthood through this transitional time. Doing so also deepens your own relationship with your growing daughter.
We can all remember the challenges that came with adolescence and are aware of the current landscape our own daughters need our support to navigate. In Girls Journeying Together group your daughter will discover a safe space where each girl is encouraged to embrace being herself, connect with her inner sense of knowing and build strength and resilience. This is a truly powerful foundation, and she will carry the journey she makes in girls’ group into her future, making lasting friendships along the way. It’s certainly something I know I would have really benefitted from.
My purpose is to change girls’ and women’s lives for the better, and I can’t think of any work more fitting, fulfilling and fun. I’m so proud to be part of Rites for Girls, an organisation whose mission is to change the world – one girl at a time.
I live on the edge of Wells in Somerset with my husband, two inspiring children (a son and daughter) and two exuberant, but very cuddly, dogs. I have a background in Psychology, Education and Technology Consultancy.
I have loads of energy to share. I love being in nature, from woodland walks to wild swimming. I am often planning my next adventure, and enjoy yoga, learning new things, and pottering in my garden.
