Our Story & Our Team

Our Story

Bright Awakened Coaching was founded by Steph, a mother of three, school-based counselor, meditation practitioner, and spiritual life coach.

Over more than a decade, she has guided children through their emotional and social journeys, both as a professional and as a parent. Steph’s passion for this work grew from her own healing journey, where she learned that true growth begins by feeling emotions fully, finding gratitude in challenges, and reconnecting mind and body through mindfulness.

How It Began

As a parent and counselor, Steph noticed how sensitive children are to the energy and demands around them. Overwhelm often shows up through behavior in ways that traditional regulation strategies can’t fully reach.

Using an imaginative, heart-centered approach that first nurtured her own children and later the children she worked with professionally, Steph created Bright Awakened Coaching, a space where children lead with imagination, finding their calm and confidence from within.

Parents are gently guided to see the need beneath behavior, understand the brain–body story behind emotions, and approach growth with curiosity, connection, and compassion. Together, families rediscover balance, resilience, and the beauty of growing side by side.

Growing Together

As Bright Awakened Coaching evolved, Sig, also a parent of three with a background in counseling, coaching, and wellness, joined the mission. With her grounded presence and practical approach, Sig brought fresh ideas for expanding the program and creating simple, sustainable solutions for busy, stressed parents.

Together, she and Steph have blended imagination with practicality, making Bright Awakened Coaching a supportive and accessible experience for every family.

Our Mission

Together, Steph and Sig guide families toward calm, connection, and lasting emotional growth, helping children thrive while parents feel empowered, confident, and supported in nurturing their family’s emotional well-being.
