How we work

Hi! I’m Haley , founder of FLY.

I’ve been working with teens since the early 2000s, when I was a teenager. Since then, as I’ve grown from acting teacher to founding international yoga and mindfulness programs in schools and leading courses at Harvard.

Over the decades, it’s become ever more clear that teens desperately just want their inner worlds to be seen, heard, and to matter.

That’s where coaching can help.

The good news: The teenage heart and mind are uniquely positioned for radical growth through 1-1 coaching, because they become more deeply aware of feelings, and begin to consciously create their identities.

Using the tools in my arsenal, I teach teens and parentss how to actively ride life’s big feels, challenges & changes while maintaining healthy relationships and a path of self-discovery.

If you’re a parent, coaching will help you understand why parenting a teen is so hard, and help you overcome the blind spots left by your own teen years to create a sweeter connection between you and your teen.

If you’re a teen, coaching will help you learn to navigate your inner world, define who you want to become, and empower you to do the things you need to do to thrive at school, home, and in your relationships.

  • "Working with Haley, both through her challenges and 1:1 coaching, has literally changed my life. I don't say that lightly. She is a keenly intuitive, loving, and frankly, pretty damn magical emotional and spiritual guide. Her sessions are the perfect way to begin to center yourself, prioritize what matters most in your life, and find resources to bolster your journey forward."

  • “In FLY sessions, I’ve learned how to practice mindfulness and speed down my thought process. I’ve been nicer to my sister so that’s cool.”

  • "Practicing the tools Haley taught me makes me feel free, and it makes me feel so light... and it makes me feel Human!"

  • “Haley helps me keep myself in order and get mentally and physically stronger. Meeting one on one helps me feel better about who I am, and helps me be better in school and I’ve learned to interact better with others. FLY has taught me how to stay calm in the face of challenges and understand myself!
