Join Modern Charm School

Our Mission & Vision

We envision a world where women can earn more, take initiative, show courage, be determined, and leave a legacy all while stylishly dressed.

Legacy builders write their own personal stories, rewrite their families' stories, and change the direction of an entire generation.

This is the world we want to create and live in.
 


Which is why we created the pillars of Modern Charm: Wealth, Gumption, & Legacy.

At The Modern Charm School we believe in updating traditional charm school subjects so that they reflect the hearts, minds, and desires of modern high-achieving women.

We believe:

Beauty is for all women of every size, shape, color, and age.

Elocution is about how to advocate for yourself and those around you

Poise is rising up and standing tall in the face of adversity

Pluck and Gumption is about leading with initiative, determination, and courage

What My Students Are Saying

the motto: confident women leave legacies 

Andrea Teeter


"I've been celebrating and decorating my body. This is something I didn't know was available to me-and I cannot thank you enough. I've been painting my nails-which I'm lovvvving. My nails were my starting point... It felt safe to decorate them and make them delightful to my eyes. Getting used to loving the look of my hands nudged me slowly putting lovely things onto the rest of my body."

Ashley Wolfe


"Loving the live calls. The look books are great because it takes the guesswork ou tof any style decisions I might not be making for myself. I love the community!"

Carrie Marshall


"We do the makeover before you hit the goal because you show up so much better for yourself and for your life when you love who you are. Don't wait for the right size, right thing, the right place, invest in yourself and know it is going to be absolutely worth the investment."

what the Charmings are saying

Krystal S.


"Miss J's tools helped me move forward. Help me move from my frumpy sweats and free T-shirts to an amazing, stylish even chic wardrobe that accentuates what is uniquely me. She did all of it with kindness, grace, humor and just the right amount of tough love when I needed it."

Jill Angie


"It was the little things that I didn't even realize we were going to do that had such a huge impact."

Karine Havard


"I started to have fun dressing myself and taking it in a lighter approach. The salsa music in the "clean up" workshop was a breakthrough for me. I;m using it to bring my mood up when chores are aligned."

Hi, I'm Judith Gaton

About Me 

 

I craved more than the usual conversations about style and wealth, so I created a space for women like me AND YOU.

I am a smart cookie (Doctorate, Master Certifications, Author, Fashion Design Degree...) My clients are smart cookies. They are diverse, hilarious, and are so much more than fruit shapes. (You are not a damn apple or pear!)

That's why I created Modern Charm School. So the smart cookies could talk about style in an elevated way, AND about the things that really matter like building a legacy and having more than enough.

That is how the FOUR pillars came to be.

It was important to me that Modern Charm School have a framework that lead with style, but was so much more. In the words of my client, Dr. Matthea "It's women that are trying to achieve bigger things and frumpy is holding them back. ...This is the room where you are doing bigger things and you need to figure out the Style Part.

So here is to all of our Stylish beginnings... Join us.

These interactive workshops have you doing much more than flipping through Pinterest images or scrolling Instagram for inspiration. We teach you the basics and you go take action.
