Faustine is a Life Coach who has experience working with children and adolescents and their families in a psychiatric setting. She facilitates active learning in workshops and classes that promote success in all aspects of life.
Her philosophy is that everyone is capable of creating the life they want to live when:
they are afforded the opportunity to learn tools and strategies that work for them in coping with challenges
learn to embrace their failures as feedback [sometimes it is just changing your point of view],
are willing to ask for help
are willing to collaborate with others
empower themselves in life by taking responsibility for their part in the creation of any situation they find themselves in. . . . and
can forgive their self and others.
Faustine has written a short, user friendly, book, “What you Focus on Grows”, that is scheduled to be published in 2022 providing information and strategies, based on neuroscience and growth mindset, for creating success in all aspects of life. Included in the book is a bibliography of reference work and resources as well as links to videos.
Faustine’s Masters is in Adult Education and she completed the Family Mediation course for the state of Florida in 2019.
