"Heather radiates warmth, love and generosity. My students enthusiastically look forward to her visits each week! Between her visits, I often overhear them quietly singing their beautiful "Time In" song and tapping along to the beat. She is extremely patient, kind and open-minded, often incorporating children's spontaneous ideas into the lessons. It's also very clear to me and to the children that she cares deeply about each individual child. She truly sees them for who they are, and they feel it. Additionally, I've found Heather to be very responsive, flexible and easy to communicate with. She is a joy to work with!"

"After attending Heather's Mindful Kids workshop, I feel this has given me extra tools to understand how to create that space needed within myself daily and the children around me that I share this space with. Heather is so warm and inviting, learning with you as she opens the dialogue to enrich our future. I especially loved seeing what was shared with us led in its truest form with children/families attending. Her facilitation style makes all around relaxed from the moment you meet her. I am grateful to be part of this movement and look forward to incorporating all of my learnings/tools within my future."

“Mindful Kids classes are so special and unique. They provide a sacred space for slowing down and learning by living and experiencing right next to your child. They also provide immense insight into everything from parenting to just living life intentionally. It is like the best elements of a parenting workshop, yoga class, meditation practice, and conversation with a best friend all combined into one and made vibrantly whole in its own special way. Heather provides a wealth of wisdom, condensed in an approachable way, and taught with tools that make it easy to access later. Heather herself is such a peaceful, loving person and she truly connects with each child on their level, through play and exploration. She always seems very alive to the moments and experiences even as she does the work of facilitating them. I am deeply grateful for the lessons our family has learned at Mindful Kids!”
Julia Spector Mancini, Parent, Yoga Teacher (January, 2017)
"Working with Heather at Mindful Kids has helped us at Mama Melli Childcare Center create a loving, grounding space for the kiddos. She has not only taught us how to teach mindfulness to the little ones (ages 1-3), but she has taught us how to practice mindfulness ourselves, helping us BE wonderful caregivers and conscious BEings. We have truly enjoyed our time with her and we look forward to learning more! Thank you, Heather! You're helping me transform Mama Melli's!"
Melissa Peck, Owner and Teacher, Mama Melli Childcare Center (August, 2016)
THE BIG WHY?
Why teach kids meditation and how to manage their energy?
The benefits are truly infinite and the well being of our world depends on it.
Teaching meditation to children is not a luxury, it is a necessity.
At this time in which we live, it is integral for every human being to be able to connect within and know how to navigate both their inner and outer worlds.
We are multi-dimensional beings, it's time to teach our children this truth.
These are the natural effects of this work, this practice, this way of being.
