About Bold New Girls


Bold New Girls is unique, comprehensive learning support including: teaching, coaching, consulting, and mentoring for girls in learning and personal development in Vancouver, BC. Bold New Girls infuses social/emotional development into individualized learning programs for optimal learning and growth. Its aim is to help girls feel happy, healthy, and confident, and inspired by focusing on a relationship of safety, nurturance, alignment, and validation. When girls feel cared for, safe, connected, and emotionally relaxed, they are more willing to take risks in learning and grow and develop, socially, emotionally, and academically.

Bold New Girls encompasses the entire “learning experience” of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and takes a preventative and proactive approach in working with young girls, equipping them with the necessary school/academic skills and life tools as they grow and develop a clear sense of self. Bold New Girls was developed to help girls become self-aware, self-accepting, and self-empowered through focused and intentional conversations. Girls can learn to be bold and act with courage, to be strong on the inside, and to be confident in who they are. Girls can also learn to that every day is a new day and a chance to make better decisions, healthy choices, and love themselves more so that they can be their best selves! And with a growing sense of self, learning and life skills can be better nurtured and developed.

Bold New Girls offers integrated learning and personal development programs created to meet the needs of each and every young girl to support her journey. These integrated programs aim to value her interests and strengths and are uniquely created to address each girl’s primary areas of concern in learning at school and in life. Programs are driven by the necessity of promoting self-awareness, self-expression, and self-knowledge. Bold New Girls encourages girls to step into their potential. Bold New Girls inspires girls to expand their thinking. Bold New Girls challenges girls to discover and nurture their authenticity!

Discussion and dialogue is at the centre of each and every Bold New Girls session and the action is in the interaction – interpersonal interactions is where most of the work of influence gets done, allowing girls to further understand themselves and the perspectives of others.

Girls Today:

Girls today are facing insurmountable pressures to be successful, thin, popular, beautiful, and good at everything. Girls today live in a stressful and competitive world of eating disorders, cyber bullying, “sexting”, and “micro-celebrity”. Girls have more choices now than ever before and their lives are moving at an exponential pace, most likely a factor in increasing symptoms of anxiety and depression. There is a clear need to help girls slow down in order to create space to reflect and connect with themselves, NOT the false or idealized sense of achievement, popularity, and perfection they see all around them or feel they “should” be. Girls who don’t know who they are, look outside of themselves for definition. They turn to perfectionism, drugs, alcohol, academics, eating disorders, compulsive exercise, and relationships to find a sense of belonging and purpose. Life can feel out of balance and anxiety producing for these girls! Through Bold New Girls, girls can learn that they have value and worth, they matter, and they can make a difference in this world. And, they can embody a sense of well-being and happiness.
