This class is great for ages 12-14 who are willing to feel a little silly and maybe get a little sweaty. This class takes place in Cumberland Maine.
Testimonial
“I didn’t know how to help my daughter anymore. She needed another adult she trusted to support her with her body image and self confidence. Kelly is a ray of sunshine! My daughter enjoys the interactions with Kelly very much. She WANTS to listen and practice what they discuss which is a sigh of relief for me.”

Testimonials
“I can see the shift in my thinking. I am choosing to love myself. I am deciding to take care of my body. Like, duh. Developing new habits doesn’t seem as daunting with the support of Kelly and this community. It feels fun. Possible.”
17 year old
“I called Kelly because my daughter was hating herself and hating her life. Traditional methods weren’t helping and I knew it was time to think outside the box. She LOVES the experience with Kelly. I can see the glimmer of hope in my daughter’s eyes again.”
Mother, 16 year old
Frequently Asked Questions
Our virtual empowerment communities are for ages 15-18. We build our relationships within a coaching platform, Mighty Networks. With a private group chat, maintaining the integrity of the program, we lean in for support and guidance.
Multiple times each day, your teen will receive a text/image/video outlining a movement based challenge. These are meant to be brief (and silly) energy bursts to shake up, shift out and move on with the day. Movement based challenges can be done in the privacy of their rooms, in the classroom halls, with others or alone, as well as completed outside. This chat will allow for members to engage with each other, offering encouragement and connection as they tap into how to be kind, to themselves and to others.
Once a month, we sit down together in Zoom and start to unpack the themes that keep coming up in the group chat. For example; pressure to be thin, words we use to describe ourselves, and resistance to change. Simply put, we nurture relationships that feel good because we want to feel good.
Yes. Parents will receive a newsletter offering a theme to the monthly work your teen has been engaged in. Various challenges and prompts will be included to align you with the daily habits your teen is striving towards. During your first month parents will receive one video-call with Kelly to discuss individual needs.
No. If you have hand weights, that’s great, but it’s not necessary to participate. We use our own resistance and find the nooks within the house for effective and fun movements, such as the wall, stairs and chairs.
Max 12 members, ages 15-18.
My Body Academy is a seasonal (three month) commitment.
