How The Booster Way® Came About


Born from a shared mission to help families replace their mean voice with a kind one.

The Struggle We Saw Everywhere

We created The Booster Way because we saw the same struggle showing up everywhere we went. Whether Kathryn was teaching in elite schools, working with young offenders, or mentoring parents, it was always the same story - behind every face was a mean voice whispering...

“You’re not enough".

The Turning Point

We recognised that voice because we knew it ourselves. For years, we searched for ways to quiet that inner critic. When we discovered Mindful Self-Compassion, everything shifted. Through practice, we learned to meet ourselves with kindness, to respond rather than react, and to make friends with who we are: imperfect, complex, a little bit messy, and fully human..

That’s where The Booster Way® was born...

From our shared passion to sow the seeds of kind self-talk in children while they’re young, and to give families a simple, practical language they can grow together.

Our Vision for the World

We want every child and family in the world, whatever their circumstances, to have access to these life-changing skills. By nurturing kindness and confidence early, we can help reduce anxiety, self-doubt, and despair.

Teen suicide prevention is at the heart of our mission.

The Booster Way® is more than a programme...
it’s a movement.

A way of living and speaking to ourselves that can change the world,
one kind thought at a time.
