Why Teens Need This Now More Than Ever
Growing up in today's world presents unique challenges. Between social media pressures, academic stress, self-doubt, anxiety, personal struggles, and the intensity of adolescent changes, many teens find it difficult to feel confident, worthy, and emotionally balanced.
When young people are equipped with genuine self-awareness and practical emotional tools, they don't just survive difficult situations – they navigate them with wisdom, resilience, and an unshakeable sense of their own worth. They learn to trust themselves, to make decisions from a place of inner knowing rather than fear, and to create authentic connections in a world that often feels disconnected.
Teen emPOWERment PlayShop is a program designed to help empower teens in loving themselves & finding happiness in their lives, despite current issues and challenges they may be experiencing. It was inspired by the adult workshop created by Louise Hay called Love Yourself, Heal Your Life®, which is based on her affirmative principles & philosophies. Teen emPOWERment PlayShop is taught only by trained Heal Your Life® instructors, Jeanine Sciacca & Nancy Boudrah-Assad.
The age groups are 12-17. Sharing is encouraged amongst the group. All teens will learn from each other. This is not considered a support group; it is not like school and it is not therapy. It is however a place for teens to learn new skills & tools to assist them in living a more self-fulfilling life, while supporting one another through the process. These tools are compliment and integrate well with any other already on-going therapy. During these interactive PlayShops, teens will engage while learning new resources through exercises, fun, discussions and partnering work.
Teen emPOWERment PlayShop is intended solely for teens, which creates a safe and comfortable environment for teens to open up and contribute life experiences & concerns. It is highly recommended for parents, caregivers and supporting staff to also learn these new philosophies by participating in the adult version of this program: Love Yourself, Heal Your Life 2-Day Workshop. This encourages continuity and further integrates what has been learned. Parents/caregiver’s consent is required for teens under age 18.
Based on Louise Hay's timeless teachings, this program will help teenagers learn how to:
LIKE who they are and begin to discover that they are deserving & lovable

worthy & POWERful

MEET Nancy
Nancy is a deeply compassionate and skilled transformational coach dedicated to helping people overcome life’s challenges and become their authentic selves. As a certified Heal Your Life® Workshop Leader and Coach, trained in the empowering methods of Louise Hay, Nancy combines profound emotional healing with practical tools for growth and self-discovery. She is also a Silva Method graduate, bringing to her practice a unique approach to mind mastery and self-awareness.
Nancy knows firsthand the struggles of living an unauthentic life—seeking approval, people-pleasing, and wearing a mask just to get by. “I know what it’s like to be afraid of what others think, especially within a culture that discourages speaking up and making personal choices for happiness,” she shares. “Forging my own path took courage, but it also empowered me to pave the way for future generations.”
Through her coaching, Nancy integrates advanced modalities like Gestalt Therapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy to guide clients through lasting changes in stress, trauma, and self-worth. Her method fosters a safe, supportive space where clients can explore, heal, and find their true selves.
As co-host of The Coaching Corner with Jeanine Sciacca, Nancy shares her insights weekly, offering listeners practical strategies and transformative perspectives on personal growth.
She is passionate about empowering individuals to live confidently and authentically, guiding each client on a profound journey of self-love and courage.
This workshop is designed to be a sanctuary where every young person feels genuinely seen, deeply valued, and completely safe to explore who they're becoming.
Every parent wants to shield their child from pain, but what we can truly give them is something far more powerful: the ability to transform any experience into wisdom, any challenge into strength, and any moment of doubt into a deeper understanding of self-love.
We believe in creating transformative experiences that help young people move beyond simply getting by – we want to see them thrive, lead, and step confidently into their potential as the changemakers of tomorrow.
Let's bring this powerful healing work to the next generation and watch them transform into confident, loving, resilient young leaders!
Love & Light,
