About Us

Tween to Teen Queens is dedicated to helping mums and daughters stay connected to themselves and each other as they navigate the changes of the tween years.

I help mums and daughters stay connected to themselves and each other while everything is shifting.

I'm Mariana, founder of Tween to Teen Queens.

I support mums and daughters through the tween years—when everything starts to change.

What I see all the time:

Daughter changes → mum tightens

Mum tightens → daughter pulls away

That’s how the connection starts to break...

My work isn’t about fixing your daughter.

It’s about helping both of you navigate change

without losing yourselves; or each other.

Because the goal isn’t to control the change…

✨ It’s to stay close through it.

Helping girls grow and relationships stay strong while everything is changing

For almost four years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting over 100 families.

Working with girls as they navigate this stage of life,

learning who they are becoming, trusting themselves, building confidence, understanding their emotions, and embracing the changes happening in their bodies.

But above all…helping them stay true to who they are

in a world that expects so much from them.

More recently, my work has expanded to support mums as well.

Because I’ve seen that this journey isn’t just happening to the girls;

it’s happening to the relationship.

And when both mum and daughter are supported,

something powerful happens: they don’t drift apart as they change… they stay connected through it.

Meet Skylar & Scribble!

Scribble is growing, learning, and figuring things out—just like your daughter.

Skylar is her guide, helping her make sense of big feelings and changes.

Together, they create a safe, relatable, and playful way for girls to understand themselves and stay true to who they are.

I use my avatars, Skylar and Scribble, in every session because they bring a sense of fun into the learning and help girls truly connect with what we’re exploring. Through them, learning becomes something relatable and real—they help girls understand their feelings, build a shared language, and develop the confidence to navigate change. They also make big topics feel safe, light, and easier to talk about, so girls can open up without fear or pressure.

At Tween to Teen Queens, we believe the bond between you and your daughter is worth protecting; especially as she grows.
