the quiet mind

Mindfulness and Positive Psychology based program to lessen anxiety and stress and increase resilience in children.

As a facilitator for Peaceful Kids and Peaceful Parents, I have cultivated mindfulness practices over several years. The techniques and strategies acquired have proven invaluable during difficult periods, including IVF treatments, cancer surgery, chemotherapy, awaiting medical results, and hospital recovery. These experiences presented significant challenges, and the application of mindfulness methods greatly enhanced my ability to manage and cope effectively. I weave both Mindfulness practices and Art Therapy skills within the sessions.
