Keynote speaker, coach, and educator helping parents, professionals, and communities raise emotionally intelligent, informed young people.

I help audiences understand what today's young people are really facing, emotionally, relationally, and online, and what we can do about it. My talks blend research, real-life stories, and practical tools that parents, educators, and professionals can use immediately.
My work sits at the intersection of emotional intelligence, sexual health education, and real family dynamics. I don’t believe in shame, scare tactics, or one-size-fits-all answers. Instead, I offer compassionate, practical, research-informed tools that honour both the needs of young people and the realities of the adults supporting them.
Tools to help young people handle big feelings, identity, and social media pressure with confidence.
How to talk about puberty, bodies, boundaries, consent, and relationships without shame or panic.
Why your emotional skills matter more than perfect answers, and what to do instead.
Support for schools and communities ready to move from fear-based messages to practical prevention.
Growing Up Informed is my educational ecosystem for families, a place where parents and teens can access journals, courses, and resources that turn hard conversations into everyday language.
Growing Up Informed helps parents feel prepared, not panicked. You’ll find practical guidance, real-life scripts, and step-by-step support for puberty, emotions, boundaries, relationships, and the online world, so hard conversations become part of everyday life
Growing Up Informed gives teens a safe, supportive space to understand what they’re feeling and what they’re going through. Through journals and resources, teens build emotional language, confidence, self-respect, and clarity around friendships, identity, boundaries, and healthy relationships.
Growing Up Informed supports schools, organisations, and communities who want young people to be safer, more emotionally skilled, and better informed. Through talks, training, and resources, we help adults create consistent, age-appropriate, shame-free messages around emotional wellbeing, puberty, boundaries, and respectful relationships.
Whether you’re planning a conference, a school professional development day, or a parent education evening, we can shape a talk or training that fits your audience.
I have experienced a remarkable transformation in my life thanks to the coaching services provided by LifeVista. Their support has been invaluable.

Before discovering Growing Up Informed, I was genuinely anxious about discussing puberty and emotions with my child. The resources and guidance proved to have completely transformed our conversations. I now feel confident and equipped to have open, honest discussions with my child. It’s been a remarkable experience seeing the growth in our communication and the trust it has fostered. I will be using this service for my two younger children when they are ready.

Educating my teenager about sexual health and well-being used to feel daunting. Joanne made this journey smoother by offering practical advice and fostering a sense of mutual understanding and respect. Our relationship has grown so much stronger because of it. My teenager and I now share a bond rooted in trust and openness, which is truly invaluable.
