Stories From the Heart: What Parents Are Saying
These heartfelt stories come from families who’ve seen real change through Creating Love Within—children learning to love themselves, handle big emotions, and navigate everyday challenges.
A Look Inside the Journey
"Jennifer is a skilled and caring teacher and we're so grateful that she offers keys to emotional intelligence for children. She easily adapted the course to ensure our son with Down syndrome was meaningfully included and engaged. Our son adores Jennifer and he looked forward to each weekly session. He gained skills to self-regulate, navigate challenging situations at school, and to bring joy and healthy relationships into his life. We noticed big shifts in our son's wellbeing, relationships, and overall learning. Thank you Jennifer!"

"My 9 year old daughter participated in the self-love journey course with Jennifer, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Jennifer was very accommodating to work with, and very warm and kind while working with our daughter. When she finished each session she was able to articulate her feelings and share the topics that they discussed. This course opened the doors for lots of conversations around self love, acceptance, and friendships. We would highly recommend this course to families and would love to participate in anything that is offered in the future.
Thank you Jennifer!"

"Creating Love Within" by Jennifer Gillingham is a truly beautiful course for children, teens, and even adults. The content is thoughtfully designed to guide participants through self-discovery, emotional regulation, and self-love in a way that is engaging, accessible, and deeply meaningful.
Jennifer is the most perfect instructor for this journey. Her warm, compassionate approach makes every participant feel seen, heard, and supported. She brings such a beautiful presence to the experience, and it’s a gift to have someone like her be part of a child’s personal development.
My daughter gained so much from this course. She’s now not only more in tune with her own emotions but is actively supporting friends by sharing the tools she learned—offering ideas to help others self-regulate and feel more grounded.
In my daughter’s own words: “That course was so helpful! You get to learn new things, it helps you express your emotions way better, helps you calm down, and love yourself. I didn’t want it to end!”
"Creating Love Within" is more than just a course—it’s a powerful resource that empowers young people to build emotional resilience and a strong foundation of inner love. I highly recommend it to any parent, educator, or caregiver looking to nurture the emotional well-being of the young people in their lives.”

"My 2 kids, ages 12 and 9 benefited so much from this course. They were able to share their experiences and goals. They were able to collaborate with each other, but also other children in the course to create a positive and meaningful experience which will help them thrive in future life experiences.
Thanks again for everything from the Nichol's! Much love ❤️"
