Isla Reddin

Isla is passionate about nurturing the mental and emotional wellbeing of youth and their parents, particularly during the adolescent and young adult years. Her own experiences of navigating through this stressful and confusing time with her two sons created a deep calling to share her learning with other parents. In the past 18 years Isla has worked with thousands of young people on their journey through grade school, college, university and into the workplace. Studying psychology, brain development and communication theory helped her to further grasp the complexity of adolescence, its impact on both the young person and the parent and gain the tools and strategies to teach and coach others. Isla speaks to parents, teachers and community groups bringing awareness to how the brain development of the adolescent child informs so much of their behavior and how caring adults can support their teens through these difficult years.
