I can sometimes get hit with waves of anger and impotence.

I want it to be easier for me - and other folk who offer services like mine - to be able to work WITHIN the education system. Teaching young folk mindful tools so that they can self regulate, KNOW themselves, establish healthy boundaries, remain balanced, calm and joyful amongst so many asks and pressure and gried and despair... this should be rooted into the school system.

But it's not, and sometimes it feels a long way away before it will be. I know that if it were easier to work within the education system we could reach more kids that could very much do with these mindful tools.

In the meantime, while this isnt a viable option, I’m committed to serving my community ways that are both inclusive and sustainable. For me it's important to offer flexibility in my pricing and payment options so that my services are as accessible as possible. So if your young person or people are struggling and could do with some sessions with me but my prices are out of your reach, did you know I offer a discounted rate for families in these circumstances? I also offer payment plans :)

I wanted to share one of my deepest desires for 2025:

that us folk who work in youth mental health and well-being are able to work WITHIN the education system.

Teaching young folk mindful tools so they can self-regulate, KNOW themselves, establish healthy boundaries, remain balanced, calm and joyful amongst so many asks and pressure and grief and despair... this should be rooted into the school system and available to all young people.

If you work in education, or if you are a parent or carer with influence in your kids' schools, please ask, investigate, suggest and perhaps even insist that these services become the norm.

This change won't come overnight, but I DO believe it will come.

In the meantime, I’m committed to serving my community in ways that are both inclusive and sustainable. For me, it's important to offer flexibility in my pricing and payment options so that my services are as accessible as possible. So if your young person or people are struggling and could do with some sessions with me but my prices are out of your reach, did you know I offer a discounted rate for families in these circumstances? I also offer payment plans :)

I'm taking bookings for 2025, get in touch to find out more :)

People learn more from who you are than what you do. Someone once said to me.

The founder of Lorraine E Murray interviewed me recently for her radio show and I feel like this phrase sums up the vibe from our chat. I'd never felt more aligned, more true, more ME when sharing how I show up in this world and what moves me to do the work that I do.

So if you find yourself consuming my content because how I am resonates with how you are, then I urge you to listen to this interview. I feel like it has it all. At the time I remember that what we had shared felt so complete. I felt so aligned and true. I'm not even going to try and summarise it in words because I wouldn't be able to do it justice!

"People learn more from who you are than what you do." Alguien me dijo una vez.

La fundadora de , Lorraine E. Murray, me entrevistó recientemente para su programa de radio y siento que esta frase resume la vibra de nuestra conversación. Nunca me había sentido más alineada, más auténtica, más YO al compartir cómo me presento en este mundo y qué me mueve a hacer el trabajo que hago.

Así que si consumes mi contenido porque cómo soy resuena con quién eres tú, te insto a escuchar esta entrevista. Siento que lo tiene todo. En ese momento recuerdo que lo que habíamos compartido se sintió tan completo. Me sentí tan alineada y verdadera. Ni siquiera voy a intentar resumirlo en palabras porque no podría hacerle justicia.

Did you know that the national animal of Scotland is none other than the UNICORN?

Google me if you don't believe me ;)

I think culturally, Scotland is very like the way I teach meditation to kids: the tools we co-create together are practical and pragmatic, with a sprinkling of MAGIC throughout ;)

Let’s call this my Christmas message to you 🦄

When mobile phones run low on charge, we plug them in to charge. Us humans need to charge ourselves up too and the easiest, most accessible and powerful ‘charger’ we have is the ground below our feet :)

1. Whatever you are doing, stop and stand or sit still
2. Notice the contact of the soles of your feet with the ground
3. Take a few slower, deeper breaths as you notice your connection with the ground and imagine that you are being ‘charged up’ through the soles of your feet.
4. Carry on with your day!
5. Repeat as many times as you need on a daily basis.

Do you or your young folk struggle with not ‘fitting in’? Would you prefer to thrive from a place of connection and belonging?

Get your FREE downloadable meditation designed to help those who don't fit in feel empowered, supported and celebrated for being the beautiful, unique being that they are.

Cuando los teléfonos móviles se quedan sin carga, los enchufamos para cargarlos. Nosotrxs, lxs humanxs, también necesitamos cargarnos y el "cargador" más fácil, accesible y poderoso que tenemos es el suelo bajo nuestrxs pies :)
1. Hagas lo que hagas, detente y quédate o siéntate quietx.
2. Fíjate en el contacto de las plantas de tus pies con el suelo.
3. Respire más lento y profundamente unas cuantas veces mientras notas tu conexión con el suelo e imagina que está siendo "cargadx" a través de las plantas de tus pies.
4. ¡Continúa con tu día!
5. Repite tantas veces como sea necesario a diario.

¿Tu o tus jóvenes luchan por no “encajar”? ¿Preferirías prosperar desde un lugar de conexión y pertenencia?

Darling person,

If what you see and read here makes your heart sing and makes you feel that excited feeling, then I'm here to help you make these dreams a reality.

These are some of the fabulous folk I've trained to become kids meditation teachers. I too once dreamed of doing heart-led, meaningful work with young folk but felt lost and stuck. Then I found and my life was forever changed! I trained on the Connected Kids Professional Course in 2019 and now run my own heart-led business called Meditation for Misfits.

And now I get to train others in the same course - it's such a pleasure and an honour! It fills me with so much hope knowing that every adult who trains with us is supported and prepared to go out into their communities and create these amazing ripple effects towards better mental health and well-being for young folk, whilst also making a viable business out of it!

I currently run courses in:

- La Floresta, Barcelona, Spain (where I live)
- Fife, Scotland (where I'm from)
- New locations coming soon (reach out if you want me to come to you, I LOVE any opportunity to travel for work!)

Teens often think that meditation is a serious, boring, adult pastime.

Then they do their first session with me where we start building their bespoke mindful ‘toolkit’ and they are so SURPRISED how much they love it!

I'm so grateful for my training which helped me nurture and reconnect to my playful, intuitive, creative side so that in my work with young folk I am able to meet them where they are at :)

As their adult, you can help support your young misfit's mental health too!

Lxs adolescentes a menudo piensan que la meditación es una actividad seria y aburrida para adultxs.

¡Pero luego hacen su primera sesión conmigo donde comenzamos a construir su "kit" personalizado de herramientas conscientes y se sorprenden de lo mucho que les encanta!

Estoy muy agradecida por mi formación en , que me ayudó a nutrir y reconectar con mi lado juguetón, intuitivo y creativo para poder conectar con lxs jóvenes dónde están :)

Como adultx, también puedes ayudar a apoyar la salud mental de tu joven misfit.

You can’t teach meditation and mindfulness to kids unless you do it from a place of integrity.

You cannot introduce mindfulness to your young folk without taking care of yourself and your own mental health.

How can you do this?

By building up your own meditation practice and mindful tools.

I learnt that when I trained to do what I do on the international programme

I also learnt that if I want to be my most balanced, connected, calmest, most authentic version, then I need to have my ever-expanding toolkit of mindful superpowers to hand.

I want this for you too. And I ALSO want this for your young folk. Feeling overwhelmed, lost, disconnected and stressed shouldn't be a regular day-to-day existence for anyone...

If this post resonates AND you are also someone who has tried meditation and never got on with it, please reach out, you're exactly the person who could benefit from my alternative take on introducing you and your young folk to the world of mindful superpowers ;)

I’m ‘weird’ and ‘different’ and thanks to mindfulness meditation I’ve learnt to embrace this and celebrate who I am!

But being different and not "fitting in" can be tough and my mental health was rubbish for years.

Do you or your young folk struggle with not ‘fitting in’? Would you prefer to thrive from a place of connection and belonging?

¡Soy "rara" y "diferente" y gracias a la meditación de mindfulness he aprendido a abrazar y celebrar quién soy!

I like to say that the way I work is 'playful yet pragmatic, with a sprinkling of magic', and I like to use this (adapted) Thich Nhat Hanh quote as inspiration.

This being human thing can be really tricky and we need ways to be able to stay in our magic, especially us misfits! Cultivating and preserving our inner magic is a fundamental way to stay balanced and thrive in a world that is full of challenges and despair.

Having a 'mindful toolkit' to hand helps us tap into that sparkly magic juice and I see it as my job to help you and your young folk build yours.

It took me 18 months to get brave about changing the name of my business to Meditation for Misfits.

I sat with it, on it. Scared to bring it to the world, because I knew this name wouldn't be for everyone. (SUCH a metaphor for the terrible inner struggle I had for so long with letting my inner oddball out the closet, for fear of rejection)

I got feedback from more than a couple folk who I respect and who have been in business for years saying the word MISFIT was perhaps a bit too... charged/triggering/negative.

And it was hard for me in that moment not to start trying to explain and justify to them why it HAD to be this name. Because these folk aren't and weren't my 'ideal client', as they say in business.

My tribe (as I prefer to say) are the folk reading this and feeling seen. Perhaps this is you. And if it is, a hearty welcome my dear!

Stay weird my friend!
