Teach Children Meditation Campaign

So much of this work, supporting children, healing nervous systems, learning new skills, isn’t meant to be done alone.

We weren’t designed to regulate, learn, or grow in isolation.
Children especially learn safety through relationship.
Adults find sustainability through community.

Going “fast” can look productive.
But going “together” is what creates lasting change.

Whether you’re a parent, educator, or practitioner you don’t have to carry this on your own.

Connection is part of the medicine 🤍

Save this as a reminder that you’re allowed support too.

How to Adapt Mindful Skills for Trauma-Experienced Children & Teens
Trauma-sensitive practices + energy awareness for real-life support

If you work with or care for children who’ve experienced trauma, you already know:
Not every mindfulness practice feels safe for every nervous system.

Stillness, closing eyes, or “just breathe” can sometimes increase distress, not reduce it.

In this 50-minute live session, we’ll explore how to adapt mindfulness and meditation in ways that feel safer, more inclusive, and supportive for trauma-experienced children and teens.

We’ll gently explore:
✨ How trauma affects a child’s energy + nervous system
✨ How to make mindfulness practices non-triggering and choice-based
✨ Why grounding and co-regulation matter before techniques
✨ How your own presence and energy awareness support emotional safety
✨ Practical ways to adapt mindful tools for real classrooms, therapy rooms, and homes

This is for educators, therapists, counsellors, foster carers, adoptive parents, and practitioners who want to support children without pushing them beyond what feels safe.

You don’t need to be an expert.
You just need tools that honour where children are right now 🤍

If this resonates, you’re warmly invited to join us.
Come as you are .

Join us March, 4 at 8 pm

Free spaces fro early bookers.

Many children with ADHD don’t need more discipline, they need tools that work with their nervous system.

In this live session, I’ll share:
✨ Mindful, practical ideas for supporting kids & teens with ADHD
✨ How to introduce meditation in ways that actually feel safe and doable
✨ What to do when focus feels impossible
✨ How to adapt tools for different ages and needs

This session offers a gentle introduction to my Teach Meditation to Children 101 approach, grounded, trauma-aware, and realistic for everyday life.

You’ll also be able to ask questions live and share any challenges you’re facing.

If you support a child with ADHD, as a parent, teacher, or carer, this is for you 🤍

All levels welcome.

We often expect children to calm themselves…
But calm is something they learn from us first.

✨ Children borrow calm
✨ Your presence matters more than any “perfect” technique
✨ Small shifts = big impact

When you slow your breath, soften your voice, and stay close, their nervous system feels safer too.

You’re not “failing” if your child can’t self-regulate yet.
You’re teaching regulation through connection.

Save this for the hard moments 🤍

Struggling with your own sleep issues?

I've had this for many years since the menopause and would often use a long, background noise/meditation track to help me go to (and stay) asleep.

I’m so pleased to be resharing my conversation with Dr Dan Siegel now released in shorter, easy-to-watch parts.

Dr Siegel’s work has shaped so much of how we understand:
🧠 Brain development
🤝 Attachment
🌿 Regulation and integration

Breaking this interview into 8 parts makes it easier to revisit and reflect on each insight.

If you work with children or love one this series will deepen your understanding of what’s happening beneath behaviour.

🎥 Part 2 goes live today on YouTube

Many families with children who have ADHD know the bedtime struggle all too well, the tossing, the late-night energy, the brain that just won’t switch off. For children with ADHD, falling asleep can be a real challenge and when sleep is disrupted, it affects focus, mood, emotional balance, and regulation the next day.

Sleep is like a child’s “internal battery.” When it isn’t fully charged, behaviour and attention can look worse than they are and sometimes *lack of sleep can even mimic ADHD symptoms.

So what helps?

✔ Slow down the evening, avoid screens before bed
✔ Create a predictable bedtime routine
✔ Introduce gentle mindfulness or calming rituals
✔ Use slow breathing, body awareness or visualisation to settle the “busy brain”
✔ Model calm, your nervous system cues theirs

Mindfulness isn’t a magic fix, and it’s not a replacement for therapy or medication but it can be a powerful tool to help nervous systems unwind and prepare for rest.

If sleep has been a nightly battle, this article is for you.

This beautiful crystal joined me in my meditation today to work on my solar plexus and heart chakra.

It's a Brazilian citrine quartz.

In an earlier meditation this week I had the feeling my energy needed something like this for balance.

I did my usual 20 minute meditation, lying down this time, and placed it on me.

Very interesting experience. 🙏
