The goal of this class is for kids to learn about growth-mindset habits to improve their social and emotional intelligence. To find their voice, embrace their true selves, know that they have a purpose in life and find their self-confidence to transcend peer pressure and walk their path with resilience and grit. To achieve these goals we'll focus on self-awareness and the ability to navigate disappointment, hurt and anger, accepting responsibility for one's actions and words and finding one's resilience and grit. We'll also focus on ways to improve their interpersonal communication within their self and with others, shifting inner perspectives, building self-esteem and self-confidence as well as gratitude. We'll learn how to create a calm mind in the face of our worries and build a growth mindset with practical day-to-day lifestyle choices that also include creating habits and SMART goals that stick. Additionally, we'll add tools on how to calm their nerves when needing to speak in front of others and how to increase their organizational skills in school and at home. 

I have my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Interpersonal Communication with a specialization in Art Therapy and my Master’s Degree is in Organizational and Personal Development. I am a Qualified Mental Health Professional and have provided direct counseling services for 7 years. I have been a Guided Visualization Facilitator for 25 years. I am a Certified Life Coach, Certified Health Coach and a Certified Brain Health Coach and am also working on completion of a Corporate Wellness Manager Certificate. I believe in the importance of a positive and rewarding educational environment, one that consistently communicates the value of everyone’s creativity, ideas and strengths. I truly love teaching these secular and non-therapeutic classes that are both educational and immersive about health / wellness / emotional intelligence and brain science and finding relaxation, calmness and personal awareness and growth. Teaching for the left and right brain is my superpower!
