For your teen to be SEEN and also easily understood so that they do not feel like they have to overtly explain who are they are.

I am here for this!

Welcome.

I’m Nomveliso Mbanga, founder of Mayine Development Institute. With over 30 years of experience coaching teens, young adults, and families — especially within Indigenous frameworks — I have learned that true transformation takes time, commitment, and care.

If you are ready to embark on a coaching journey that honors your child’s growth process, builds emotional resilience, and supports long-term academic and personal success, you’re in the right place.

Our Coaching Philosophy

Coaching is not a quick fix or a transactional service. It is a deep, intentional investment of time, energy, and resources. Young people are still growing, learning, and navigating life’s complexities. They need consistent reflection, support, and guidance over time to build real confidence and leadership.

Because of this, our coaching programs are designed with long-term transformation in mind — not instant results.

Teen-Centered Process: Coaching sessions are designed for the benefit and emotional safety of the teen or young adult. Parents are asked to exercise care in how they express their own frustrations, particularly in front of or through the child. Should a parent need support, they are encouraged to contact the assigned teencoach directly to process concerns in a constructive, coaching-appropriate manner.

“Coaching is not a three-month magic wand but a journey. It is a long-term investment of time, money, and heart — especially with young people who are still becoming. Real growth takes consistent guidance, repeated reflection, and patient progress. Some results may show in months. Others take years. And that’s okay — because we’re building something that lasts.”
