Dear Children’s change maker

“It’s time to do something different for childhood and it starts with the spaces we hold for children.”

If you are reading this, it’s because children matter deeply to you. You feel a quiet call, a sense that things could be different, that children deserve more than the systems that overwhelm, frustrate, or fail them. You long to create spaces where children feel truly seen, heard, and empowered to grow.

Maybe you’re already working with children, yet feel constrained by outdated methods, limited resources, or systems that fall short. Or perhaps you’ve held this vision quietly for years but haven’t yet discovered the path to bring it fully to life. You’ve read books, followed the experts, maybe tried a course and still, something feels missing.

I understand that feeling. I’ve walked this path since 2003. Through trial, reflection, and persistence, I discovered that real transformation happens when adults create spaces where children can flourish and when adults themselves have clarity, skills, and support to hold that space ethically and effectively.

That’s why I created Kids Life Studio® Global Coach Network. This is not just a certification, not just a method, but a living concept and global movement.


Who This Is For

This is for the children’s change maker who:

  • Cares deeply about children and their future

  • Believe in ethical, evidence-based approaches

  • Is ready to step into meaningful, lasting impact

  • Wants to join a global movement of change-makers creating spaces where children flourish

“When adults show up fully for children, they help them grow with resilience, joy, and possibility.”


The Concept, Training, and Movement

Concept: A Kids Life Studio® is the transformative space we create where children feel safe, valued, and empowered. This is a space we create wherever children are: classrooms, playgrounds, homes, sports fields, online, or even under a tree. It is a space of presence, creativity, compassion, and possibility.

Training: Our Kids Life Studio® Coach Academy school gives our students the tools, strategies, programmes and experiential practice they need to make real impact. Our training programmes are rooted in neuroscience, developmental psychology, and play-based approaches and we apply the principles ethically and practically to guide children in real-world spaces.

Movement: Completing our training programme connects you to a network of dedicated child advocates. Each Kids Life Studio® space contributes to a global movement, shaping environments that build resilience, wellbeing, coping and creativity in children everywhere.
