Deb Dunham

Deb Dunham is the emerging voice for today's tweens. She is passionate about nurturing the self-esteem and independence of young people and believes that every child is capable and valuable. Recognizing the lack of resources for tweens and their parents, Deb founded True Inner Strength to provide workshops and supportive products aimed at guiding young people toward a higher vision of themselves.

When Deb's eldest daughter was entering tweenhood, the family moved, facing numerous challenges in the transition. One night, as Deb offered comfort and encouragement, her daughter said, "I wish you could write down everything you said so I could remember because it made me feel better." Thus, the encouragement journal was born. That journal evolved into the Tween You and Me book and journal for preteens.

Deb's background has been one of healer and advocate for all ages, as a Physical Therapist, Birth Doula, and mother of three children, including two tweens. To all her roles, Deb brings a balance of creativity, inspiration, and practicality that motivates all who work with her. Together with her husband, Tim, Deb nurtures her 3 children north of Boston, MA. To contact Deb, e-mail info@trueinnerstrength.com
