Being a teen is no easy journey.
Today’s teens are faced with more stress and anxiety inducing situations than ever before. You are dealing with peer pressure, schoolwork, anxiety, low self esteem, a poor body image, issues with friendship groups, feeling alienated from your peers, depression, conflict at home, navigating the dating world, self harm, drugs and alcohol, eating disorders, sexting and the list goes on…
Now, this is not to say that you won't come across every one of these issues, but there will definitely be at least one in that list that you can relate to.
This is where we step in and can help guide you through any issues you are facing. We give you professional advise, tools, tips and support.
BU is a revolutionary new way to educate teens in today's society.
We are here to support you and lead and guide you through a tried and tested blueprint that not only shows you how to get results, but actually helps you enjoy your teen years.

Marina Passalaris
Speaker, Presenter, Teen Girl Educator & Author of ‘Beautiful Minds’
Describing herself as a bridge between parents and their daughters, Marina works closely with teenage girls and their families dedicated to helping them achieve happiness through education about grooming, vital life skills and most importantly self-esteem and confidence.
She wrote her first best selling book Beautiful Minds, A Journey of Self Discovery for Teenage Girls in 2013.
Today, Marina and her team of expert educators, deliver courses to hundreds of Australian teens and adults each year. She has received both national and international press for the success of her business and the impact she has on young and adult women alike.
Aside from running her ‘Beautiful Minds’ programs in 8 locations around Australia and regular mother/daughter retreats in Bali, Marina also runs an annual, large-scale teen event, supporting Sony’s You Can Charity. The one-day event is sponsored by Sony, Westpac Bank, Fujifilm, Girlfriend Magazine and SOS Rehydrate.
It is a day for teen girls to hear from celebrities, inspirational guest speakers and to be inspired and educated on relevant teen topics.
All the Beautiful Minds content is created and designed by our in house team of psychologists and educational experts.
Here's what others are saying about us...
“Marina made me feel that I could tell her anything; she created a loving environment for the course. I gained so much from it and think every girl should have to opportunity to participate in something so special.”
~Paris Carreira, Teenager
“I cannot speak highly enough of Marina and her program, nor can my girls. My daughters have learnt insights into themselves that may have taken them years to discover otherwise. Marina has designed a course for young ladies and for those whose parents have the aspirations that touch them in ways that I as a parent have considerable difficulties achieving. I have been particularly impressed with Marina’s desire to stay in touch with her students after the end of the course. She is an incredible role model to young girls.”
~ Andrew Wallace, Father and Barrister
“A course that every teenage girl should have access to.”
~Canberra Times
“Your ability to connect with teens and help them see the best in themselves has really benefited them in all areas of their student life. Keep inspiring!”
~Ruchika Sahai, Educator at Reddam House
“Marina’s insider knowledge of an industry too well known for exploiting women gives her a powerful edge in sharing insights into what makes for a strong, resilient girl. Her dynamic programs are a must for any girl who has wondered if she can ever be good enough.”
~Dr Justin Coulson, Psychologist, speaker and parenting expert for kidspot.com.au.
