Their combined expertise in education and well-being drives their mission to empower children and young people through Life Coaching, creating a positive impact on their lives.
Laura French
Founder and Coach
My passion for enriching children's lives is reflected in both my personal and professional journey. Living in Shoreham, West Sussex, with my wife, toddler, new baby and two lively Cocker Spaniels, I cherish family life. My dedication to children's wellbeing began early, leading me to study at the prestigious Norland College, where I graduated in 2013. Over the next eight years, I nurtured and supported children worldwide, bringing positivity and energy into their lives. In 2019, I transitioned to become Wellbeing Lead at a prep school in Hove, where I advocate for children's welfare, ensuring their voices are heard and empowering them to build resilience and overcome challenges. Continuing my commitment, I earned a Level 3 Coaching qualification through Kids Life Studio Academy, alongside certifications in Mental Health First Aid and Autism Awareness, to further support children's growth and wellbeing.
Sophie White
Founder and Coach
As a resident of Saltdean, near Brighton, I live with my youngest son Archie and our dog Henry, cherishing the importance of family. With my eldest son Joe nearby, family bonds inspire my professional approach to supporting children's wellbeing. I work closely with Laura as part of the Wellbeing team at a prep school in Hove. Together, we champion children’s voices, advocate for their rights, and foster resilience and confidence. Our shared passion has built a strong professional partnership and friendship, driven by a commitment to children’s wellbeing. My qualifications include a Level 3 Counselling certificate from Varndean College, a Life Coaching Accreditation, and NCFE Cache Mental Health First Aid certification. I specialise in understanding the effects of addiction on young people and bring a holistic, therapeutic approach to my work. By prioritising empathy, I empower children to overcome challenges and thrive in their personal growth.
