Growing up, I was a shy and nervous child, and as I got older, I was in my mind constantly and became more anxious. Not dealing with the issue at hand, I went on for many years feeling this way. Thankfully, in my late 20s, I stumbled into mindfulness and gratitude practices which helped shift my perspective and helped calm the noise in my head.

Now, as an adult. I am motivated to help children with inclusivity, self-love, mindfulness, and gratitude from a younger age. By teaching children to be accepting and loving of themselves and their peers - I hope to create a better space for children in the classroom and at home. By teaching children practices of self-love, mindfulness and gratitude - I hope this will help children to know it is okay to find space and slow down to understand their feelings and emotions.
