Hi, I’m Melissa, the mom behind 15 Summers. I have two sensitive, curious, school-age kids, and since I was pregnant with our first, we’ve lived in four countries. We’re now raising our family just outside Lisbon, Portugal. Like a lot of parents raising kids far from extended family, we’ve had to navigate plenty of challenges along the way.
What made a big difference for us was having support early on. Coaching helped my husband and me get on the same page, try new tools, and bring more calm and connection into our home. It didn’t fix everything, but it helped us focus on what matters and move through hard moments with more confidence.
I started 15 Summers because I want more families to have access to that kind of support. The company name is a reminder that childhood moves fast, but the connection lasts. When we invest in our emotional health as a family, we’re building something that can carry us through the teen years, adulthood, and maybe even into how our kids parent one day. It’s not about doing everything right. It’s about showing up with care, even when it’s messy.
I hope you find a coach here who feels like the right fit, and that your conversations lead to more clarity, connection, and ease in your everyday life.
