Why do we do what we do: Our Story

Sandy comes from a small village in Brittany, France. She grew up in Foster Care all her life. At age 18, the Foster Home she was in, kicked her out on the street and Sandy found herself facing daily challenges, totally alone with zero family, working every night in restaurants and night clubs to support herself financially as she was still in full time education.

She graduated from High School at age 21 with a "Secretary/Accountancy Qualification" and decided to go travelling backpacking for a few months after her graduation. She first travelled around France for a month and then decided to go to UK where she met her daughter's father. She moved to UK a year later and became a mum at age 23 of her beautiful daughter Nikita.

Unfortunately, the home environment was not safe for Nikita, so Sandy started her  journey as a single mum just before Nikita's 3rd birthday. Sandy remained in the UK to ensure Nikita would grow up with the love of her father's family members, the only family she really knew and grew up with at the time. Sandy started working as a Childminder, Foster Carer & Teacher at the age of 24 and attended many courses working with children including psychology. A few years later, she decided to take her studies to the next level and enrolled with an online University whilst working full time and being a single mum from which she graduated with a "Batchelor Honours in Business" at age 41. Sandy has always liked organizational work and has a deep passion working with Children & Teens.

When Nikita reached her 10th brithday, a New Life started and both, mother and daughter moved to Belgium where Sandy worked as a Lecturer and Teacher on the "N.A.T.O" military base for both children and adults.

Sandy & Nikita had a beautiful and close relationship until Nikita's 16th birthday, when she started being influenced by very unhealthy and toxic relationships. The strong bond they had, started to fade away and the rocky mountain of struggles took place with a path that took 10 years to cross.

During those 10 years, both Mother and Daughter experienced struggles after struggles between themselves. Their  relationship became a Love / Hate journey, influenced by many internal and external factors. Some of those factors included physical violence, verbal abuse, running away from home, leaving home, unhealthy choices, toxic relationships, absence of family support, acceptance, tolerance, resilience, angriness, moodiness, controlling, ruling, manners, self harm, arguing, school grades affected due to repetitive school absence, lack of appreciation/interest/motivation, very poor communication, the use of unhealthy subtances, dealing with police, death threats and a few more...  Despite all of it, both worked very hard personnally to rebuild their relationship, involving  different psychologists which had more of a negative rather than a postive impact on their mother/daughter relationship.

After many years of trials and errors, both took personnal help seperatly. Sandy started studying NLP and Mindfulness and was accredited certification, followed by Hypnosis which she currently studies at the Master Level. Nikita started personnal coaching and did a lot of deep work on herself with beautiful outcomes. Both were able to slowly embrace and accept circumstances and situations that seemed totally unrealistic and impossible to accept or deal with for that matter, a few years prior this personnal development.

The relationship evolved beautifully and grew into something absolutely wonderful and unbreakable after 10 years. Mother and daughter have learned so much from each other and the greatest gift of all is, the gratitude that came out of all those experiences even the most scary, terrible and painful ones. Accepting, forgiving and moving on gratefully from that particular Path is truly what saved their bond.

Today, Mother & Daughter are building Alpha Teen Coach together, making it a Premium Brand and working along side each other, creating programs and packages to support Teens, families, communities and schools experiencing similar situations and pain on their own journey.

The biggest desire that Sandy & Nikita have, is to build a Legacy together and create a children's home in the near future offering help and support to Teens and Youths currently on the street with zero support and help them unleash the infinite potential within to ignite their light because they strongly believe that each individual is unique with a great gift waiting to be shared with the world.

Alpha Teen Coach is currently offering support to both Parents and Teens, and now, it's taking a step further by helping Teens within school environments, specifically in Sandy's former boarding school in France. Collaborating closely with therapists, specialists, and experts, the program is dedicated to helping teenagers thrive and foster stronger bonds with their families.
