‘I had the pleasure of attending Katie’s children’s mindfulness and meditation course, and can’t recommend her enough. Her knowledge and passion, and ability to engage both adults and children in mindfulness techniques, are truly outstanding’

‘Katie’s approach is both practical and inspiring. She provides easy to follow exercises that make mindfulness accessible and enjoyable for children of all ages. Her warmth and expertise makes learning from her, a pleasure.

Since completing the course, I have implemented practices in our school, and the impact on our students has been incredible. The techniques have helped improve focus, reduce stress, and create a calmer classroom environment. Many children have said they feel they have more control over their emotions, and better equipped to deal with every day challenges. What Katie teaches is invaluable, and the benefits for young minds are clear to see’

(Holy Family High School, well-being co-ordinator).

‘Since completing Katie’s self-regulation training, we have implemented her resources and strategies into our school curriculum. Our children are all different and learn in their own way. Some of the children are blind, so explore using their senses, and are now able to explain how they are feeling. I am so pleased to be able to use Katie’s knowledge and tools, as designated mindfulness teacher, into our school, which is amazing and had a huge impact on our children’s well-being and learning. The children have created their own ‘Happy Box’ and are now able to access all the resources in the classroom’

(Liverpool Royal School for the Blind, designated mindfulness practitioner).
