Purpose. Confidence. Direction.

Together, we'll break things down into manageable steps. We'll identify what's getting in the way, strengthen your confidence, develop practical life skills, explore career or education options, and create a plan you actually feel excited about. You'll leave with more than just ideas—you'll leave knowing how to move forward.

01

Get clear on your strengths, values and goals

We dig into who you are right now - what energizes you, what you are good at, and what you actually want from this year

03

Build practical life skills one step at a time

Budgeting, routines, goal setting, self-advocacy - chosen based on where you are and what you actually need.

02

Figure out what's getting in the way - and tackle it

Whether it's motivation, focus, time management, or just not knowing where to start - we name it and build real strategies around it.

04

Find a direction and make a plan to get there

College, trades, career path, a gap year experience - we explore what fits and build a concrete next step by month six.

You will leave with ...

A clear picture of your strengths and how you work best

You'll know what drives you, what holds you back, and how to use both to your advantage.

Practical life skills built for the real world

Time management, planning, routines, and follow-through - skills that go well beyond this year.

Genuine confidence and independance

Earned by showing up, setting goals, and following through - every single month.

A clear sense of direction and a plan to get there

Researched, thought through, and ready to act on - whatever that next step looks like for you.

How Gap Year Coaching Works

Six months. Three phases. One coaching session each month with a 30-minute check-in, ongoing online support between sessions, and momentum that keeps you moving forward.

A Note From Me

​​

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that life rarely follows a straight line.

​

Mine certainly didn't.

​

Like many people, I questioned my direction more than once. I changed paths, doubted myself, wondered if I was falling behind, and felt the pressure of trying to figure out what I was supposed to do with my life.

​

Looking back, I didn't need someone to tell me what career to choose, and I didn't need years of therapy. I needed someone in the middle.

​

Someone who could help me understand myself, recognize what was getting in my way, build on my strengths, work through my challenges, and remind me that I was capable—even when I couldn't see it myself.

That's one of the reasons I created Healthy Routes.

​

Today, I have the privilege of helping young adults navigate this same season of life with greater confidence, clarity, and direction. Not because I have all the answers, but because I've learned that the right support, the right tools, and the right conversations can change the way you see yourself—and that changes everything.

​

I can't promise you'll leave with your entire future mapped out. What I can promise you is leave our sessions knowing yourself better, trusting yourself more, and feeling more prepared to take your next step.

​

If you're ready to stop feeling stuck and start building a future that feels right for you, I'd love to help you find your healthier route forward. - Jen LeClair Avery
