embark on a journey to self-discovery and growth
through evidence-based coaching methods and creative expression, Pearl Coaching helps teens and young adults embrace their inner wisdom, build confidence, and express their unique voice
What is Pearl Coaching?
One-on-one coaching provides a dedicated space to explore life’s questions, set meaningful goals, and practice tools for change.
Together, we uncover strengths, build awareness, and translate insights into action.
Clients can choose to work through Pearl Journals on self-discovery, goal setting, or neuroplasticity — or set the agenda session by session. Coaching is available in-person or online.
Meet Elise
Hi, I’m Elise Phillips — an educator, coach, and founder of Pearl Coaching.
After more than a decade in education, I realized many students were craving a deeper kind of learning — one that focused less on grades and more on identity, motivation, and belonging. That realization led me to develop Pearl Coaching: a space where youth can slow down, reflect, and rediscover who they are.
My background in teaching and youth development helps me meet each client where they are — balancing structure with creativity, and evidence-based tools with empathy. I use coaching frameworks rooted in positive psychology, neuroplasticity, and social-emotional learning to help young people understand themselves and move forward with confidence.
When I’m not hanging out with teenagers, you’ll find me with my husband and two sons exploring the mountains, snowboarding, journaling, or collaging in my woman realm.
The Pearl Philosophy
Pearls are the gemstones of inner wisdom — formed through time, reflection, and resilience.
At Pearl Coaching, this symbolism reminds us that every person holds beauty and strength within; sometimes we just need space and guidance to bring it to light.
My role as a coach is to help you or your teen dive deeper — to explore what’s beneath the surface and uncover the treasures that shimmer there: self-understanding, purpose, and confidence.
This is a space for discovery, reflection, and new beginnings.
