- Brillinace Unboxed: Whole-Child Mindset Coaching
Helping Sensitive, Creative & Brilliant Minds Flourish
Through Brilliance Unboxed: Whole-Child Mindset Coaching, I work directly with children to build confidence, emotional regulation, resilience, self-advocacy, positive self-talk, and a strong sense of self. While I offer guidance to parents when needed, my work is intentionally centered on empowering the child—helping them grow from the inside out and step into the brilliance they already possess.

Is this right for your child?
Children flourish when they feel truly understood. When we honor their mind, emotions, and unique way of seeing the world, their inner brilliance is unboxed.
Why I do This Work
For more than 25 years, I’ve dedicated my work to helping children thrive academically, emotionally, and personally. I believe every child has a brilliant mind, and when they understand how it works, they gain confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self. My own experience as a dyslexic learner fuels my empathy and belief in the extraordinary strengths that come from thinking differently.
I created Brilliance Unboxed: Whole-Child Mindset Coaching to support children in feeling seen, safe, understood, and empowered—because when a child understands their mind, their emotions, and their strengths, they flourish from the inside out.
I specialize in supporting children who:
- Needs help building positive self-talk
- Feels emotions deeply or gets overwhelmed easily
- Is highly creative, imaginative, or sensitive
- Struggles with perfectionism or anxiety
- Is neurodivergent (ADHD, Dyslexia, Gifted)
- Has trouble advocating for their needs
- Has difficulty in unstructured or social situations

Jennie Burkart
For more than 25 years, I’ve dedicated my work to helping children strengthen their academics, understand how their unique mind learns, and build the confidence and emotional resilience they need to thrive. I work with all children—those who are sensitive and thoughtful, high-achieving and driven, deeply creative, naturally cautious, or simply navigating the everyday challenges of growing up. My background also includes extensive experience supporting neurodivergent learners, giving me a broad understanding of the many ways children think, learn, and see the world.
I earned my Master of Arts degree with honors in Education, with an emphasis in Learning Dis/Abilities, from Teachers College, Columbia University. I later worked as an educator and curriculum developer at Park Century School, where I created hands-on learning tools and instructional methods designed to help children understand their strengths and approach learning with confidence and curiosity. I have also served on the school’s Board of Trustees for six years, further deepening my commitment to supporting students and families. During this time, I saw how powerful it is when children understand the way their mind works and feel supported emotionally, academically, and personally.
Every child has brilliance waiting to be unboxed.

- My Approach
How I Work With Your Child
Children flourish when they feel truly understood. When we honor their mind, emotions, and unique way of seeing the world, their inner brilliance is unboxed.

No two brains are alike. I tailor every session to your child’s unique interests, strengths, and learning style.

Strength-Based
We don’t focus on ‘fixing’ what’s wrong. We focus on amplifying what’s right, using strengths to overcome challenges.
- My Tool Kit
Integrative Methods for Whole-Child Growth
My approach is warm, relational, and grounded in connection. I help children understand how their unique brains learn, interpret challenges as opportunities, and develop healthy inner dialogue.
Children learn to:
- communicate clearly
- express their needs
- understand their emotions
- reframe challenges
- shift limiting beliefs
- advocate for themselves
- navigate both academic and social settings
Together, we build strong internal foundations—mindsets that support growth, emotional tools that help them navigate difficulties, and the confidence to use their voice with clarity and courage.
