Have you tried everything, but nothing seems to work?

Introducing “Empower Me Within”

This is a life-changing program that helps girls (and daughters just like yours) embrace their strengths, navigate emotions and develop resilience so they can step into their power with confidence and courage.

The Reality for Many Girls Today

Raising a strong, resilient daughter in today’s world can feel overwhelming, especially when many young girls struggle with:

Big emotions they don’t know how to process
Friendship challenges and social pressures
Low self-esteem and negative self-talk
Feeling anxious, stressed or unsure of themselves

And as a parent, it’s heartbreaking when you can see she needs support, but she’s no longer listening to you. You want to help her, but she just won’t accept it from home. That’s why Lou has created Empower Me Within—to create a supportive community to help girls feel seen, supported and confident in who they are.

“We recently had the pleasure of hosting Lou’s Breath by Choice workshops as incursions for our Vacation Care program, tailored specifically for Everton Park OSHC (EPOSHC). Initially, we connected with Lou through a family at our service who praised her programs, and from our very first interaction, Lou’s enthusiasm and support were clear. Her communication was excellent, making it a seamless process to bring her workshops into our Vacation Care setting.

“The feedback from our families was overwhelmingly positive, and our children loved every moment. All of the girls who participated left feeling refreshed, empowered, and visibly uplifted by the session. Lou’s attention to detail, flexibility, and genuine passion shone through in every aspect of the workshop. She provided our children with valuable, practical life skills that align beautifully with our service’s goals.

“We’re thrilled with the experience Lou created for our service, and we look forward to collaborating with her again soon!”

Nicole Maanders

I’ve already told lots of mums about how valuable this
program is—the strategies and the skills are amazing!

Parent feedback

This program has given us our happy daughter back, and she is actually sad the sessions are over. She just loved it! After spending hundreds of dollars on psychologists, this has by far been more worthwhile than all the other professional visits. We are so forever grateful and can’t thank you enough!

As a mother, all you ever want is for your child to feel confident, capable, and supported — and that’s exactly what working with Lou has given my daughter, Chloe. Since starting 1:1 coaching and joining the Empower Me Within program, I’ve seen an incredible transformation in her. Her confidence has grown in ways I never imagined—she walks taller, speaks up more, and believes in herself, both on and off the court. Lou has helped her build resilience, not just in sport but in life, teaching her how to navigate challenges with grace and grit. Most importantly, Chloe now sees herself as a leader. She’s stepping up, encouraging others, and showing up with strength and heart in everything she does. I’m beyond grateful for the positive impact Lou has had on her journey—it’s been truly life-changing
