Sometimes I hear this…
I think it’s so important to find someone you “jive” with as a counselor/therapist. The last woman she saw in Denver came highly recommended. I have to say I hated her off the bat. She was so rigid and cold. She would make Lulu do these stupid role play exercises and she was so flipping expensive. She would charge us to talk on the phone afterwards if we had any questions and we were not allowed to text or email her. Like I realize that people’s time is important but that is ridiculous!
Lulu (Little Sister) and her mom, Kate
Turn into this…
"Also, I can’t tell you how much Lulu loves talking to you! She tells me all the time! She woke up this morning talking about how much she loves it! I am so grateful for you Keri! I am so glad our paths crossed that morning at the studio! ❤️❤️"
And From the Parents…
-
"Thanks so much Keri! I am beyond grateful! She came in and gave everyone a hug after her chat with you. 🙏🏻 I’m still reeling from the argument. I’ll be in the car for awhile today. If you are around and can chat, let me know. Thanks!"

Adventurous & Active
Mentoring and Coaching
for your tween and teen daugthers.
Just a few examples of what I like to do in my free time.
I had a goal of doing a standing split on a horse, for a fitness magazine, at age 45.
I love being upside down.
Going upside down, even if it’s laying on your back with your feet in the air, or a restorative yoga pose like child pose,
Going upsdie down is. a natural anti-depressant. This, and other useful tips I will teach your daughters.

Choosing a mentor who feels like a big sister rather than a traditional clinical therapist can be incredibly beneficial, especially if you've tried multiple therapists with little to no results.
Sometimes, children refuse therapy
or don't open up enough to benefit from it.
It's crucial to find the right person.
Someone who can speak their language, provide a safe place to release emotions, clarify confusions, and listen wholeheartedly without judgment. Someone your daughter connects with and is willing to try trusting.
I guarantee that you will start seeing results, or at least your daughter will start feeling better, after just a few visits.
We can stop at any time you feel like it is not working out. We will know after the discovery meeting if there isn’t a pretty good initial connection between your daughter and me.
My goal is to have your daughter look forward to our time together.
Your daughter may say she finally feels heard, or that a huge weight has been lifted off of her. Or maybe I was able to make her laugh out loud a little on our first meeting. Or maybe I allowed her to really cry, for the first time in a long time, and without fear of someone telling her to stop or toughen up.
We will both enjoy our deep conversations and daily dramas. I plan on earning her trust and friendship and promise to have fun doing all of it—just like best friends. Best friends can make any situation bearable, and a true friend supports and encourages the other.
Your daughter’s confidence will begin to rebuild or repair naturally over time, as she grows to confide and trust me, and as we build our support system. Knowing she has somone “on her side”- a reliable, trustworthy, compassionate, and supportive BFF, she will become empowered to do anything.
Your daughter will have access to my personal cell phone for 7 days a week/24 hours a day contact with me. Many crises happen in the late evening hours, and I promise to always be there for my little sister in need. I may not always be able to answer, and I do turn my phone on sleep/do not disturb, but I will always get back to them as soon as humanly possible. I will always take an emergency call or text (if I’m aware of it).

Sisters Come in All Ages: Adopt Me as Your Daughter's Big Sister!
Guiding Teens with the Heart of a Sister and the Wisdom of Experience
Get started
Simply sign up your email for more information, events, announcements, or…
to adopt the big sister (you always wanted).
I am just like an older, more mature, less hormonal, more emotionally balanced “Big Sister” - You Always Wanted (for your daughter, or for YOU!!.
I offer family and individual mentoring, friendship, and sisterhood. Sisters always have a special bond, so part of my goals are to decrease sibling rivalry and enhance the relationship you currently have with your daughter. The strongest bond comes from the Mother, but you may find yourself to attached, or too emotional to handle all your daughter’s problems, struggles, drama.
I can ease that struggle and strengthen the strongest bond between a mother and daughter. I am, and have always been close to my own mother. We are best friends to this day, but it wasn’t always like that! Middle and High School were rough (that’s an understatement) but even then, I figured out (or was shown) healthy ways to process and understand what was happening inside my body and mind, as much as how others affected me.
I like play like a 15-year-old (gymnastics, yoga, pickleball, ping pong, handstands, and fun!)
I am:
A published children’s book author of “The Beastie Book”
200RTT Yoga & Meditation Teacher
Trained Mindfulness Guide
Emotionally strong and balanced
Kind, empathetic, understanding
I was a fun-loving, happy-go-lucky tween/teen and now in my second half of a century of age, I am again that person, but with the wisdom that comes along with being a mother to two daughters (20 and 18) and a loving spouse of almost 25 years. I have 3 dogs, 3 cats, and a lot of love and understanding to share!
Give your tween or teen the loving compassion and support
of a generous Big Sister & BFF
Keri Atchley, B.S.Y.A.W.
