YOUR MOVE.
Own what's next.
Most teens don't feel stuck because they don't know enough. They get stuck because decisions feel overwhelming, permanent, or like there's one right answer they're supposed to find.
YOUR MOVE. is Nourish's signature 6-week developmental coaching program for teenagers that builds one foundational skill: how to think through decisions and move forward, even without certainty.
The goal isn't to help your teen make the right choice. It's to help them become someone who feels more confident making a choice.

Is this for your teen?
YOUR MOVE. is designed for teenagers who are thoughtful and capable, and:
-
feel torn between subjects, activities, or paths and can't seem to commit
-
overthink decisions, or replay them long after they've been made
-
say "I don't know" a lot, and genuinely mean it
-
wait for certainty before moving, and find it never quite comes
-
are heavily influenced by what others think, and struggle to find their own voice in it
This is not therapy. It's not tutoring. It's a structured space to build real, transferable thinking skills that can change how a teenager approaches everything.

What the program includes
Over 6 weeks, participants move through a carefully designed arc, from noticing what matters to them, through building structured thinking skills, to developing the confidence to act, learn from what follows, and communicate their choices clearly.
Each week includes either a group session or a 1:1 coaching session, so there is always a meaningful touchpoint.The program is delivered across four channels that work together:
Online group sessions | small group (max 6), 50–60 minutes. A space to explore ideas, practice thinking out loud, and realise that other teens are navigating the same things.
Journey Box | a physical set of guided reflection tools delivered to your door before the program begins. Each tool connects to that week's focus and is designed for private, independent use.
1:1 coaching sessions | three individual sessions with Marissa across the program, scheduled at a time that works for your teen. For personal application, nuance, and real conversations about what's actually happening in their life.
Between-session support | light, regular direct messages to your teen across the week to connect the dots, prompt reflection, and keep the thread alive. Delivered via WhatsApp or SMS depending on location.
Parents also receive regular insight into what their teen is working on each week, and practical suggestions for how to support without directing.

FAQs
What is the time commitment? Each week includes either a group session (50–60 minutes) or a 1:1 coaching session (30–45 minutes), plus roughly 20–30 minutes of independent reflection with the Journey Box tools. In total, expect around 90 minutes of engagement per week. Much of the reflection tends to happen naturally in between, rather than in dedicated sitting-down time.
What age is this for? YOUR MOVE. is designed for high school learners in Grades 9–12, roughly ages 14–18. Participants don't need to be at any particular stage or facing any specific decision, just willing to engage honestly and reflectively.
Is this therapy or counselling? No. YOUR MOVE. is a developmental coaching program focused on building thinking skills and decision-making capacity. It is not a clinical intervention and is not appropriate for teenagers experiencing acute mental health challenges or requiring therapeutic support.
How many teenagers are in each group? Each cohort is capped at 6 participants. This is intentional to provide dedicated support to each participant throughout the program.
Does my teen need to be facing a big decision right now? Not at all. The program works with whatever is live for each participant — big or small. The skills built apply immediately to everyday choices and carry forward into larger ones.
What does the Journey Box contain? A set of physical guided reflection tools — cards, fold-outs, and mapping boards — designed for independent use alongside each week's focus. It's delivered to your door before the program begins.
What's the role of the parent? Parents are not part of the group sessions or 1:1 sessions, those are a confidential space for teens only. This is intentional. Teens engage more honestly, and build ownership more genuinely, when they know the space is theirs. You will receive regular thematic updates on what's being covered each week and light guidance on how to support your teen's engagement, but not the content of individual conversations. There is a consent and intake process to complete before the program begins, and you are welcome to contact me anytime during the program should you have any questions or concerns.
How does between-session communication work? Your teen will receive light, regular messages across the week. These will be short prompts, ideas, or check-ins that connect to that week's theme. Messages are sent directly to your teen via WhatsApp or SMS (depending on location) as individual direct messages, not a group chat, and are part of the learning experience, not administrative updates.
