About Yawara

I believe in nurturing the whole child through deep listening, curiosity, and connection. Every child has a unique spark, and I meet them where they are-offering gentle guidance, playful learning, and emotional support to help them grow with confidence and joy. I've worked with kids ages 8-18 in roles like youth camp facilitator, private soccer coach, long-term mentor, and high school coach. These experiences taught me the importance of structure, encouragement, and fun in helping children thrive. I'm inspired by the child mental health and social work professionals in my life who remind me that caring for kids means supporting whole families. As I step into this next chapter, I bring not only experience, but my whole heart. I'm honored to create safe, engaging spaces where children feel seen, supported, and free to be themselves.
