FAQ

My child may not be able to attend every day of the workshop. Will they still benefit from the class?2026-02-14T23:59:38-08:00

Yes. Each class is designed to stand alone, so participants will benefit from however many sessions they’re able to attend. I also send class summaries and handouts to parents after each class, so families can stay informed about what their child is learning and create opportunities to practice together at home between sessions.

My child has a hard time sitting still. We’ve tried meditation at home and it’s never worked for them.2026-02-14T23:27:17-08:00

Totally understandable! I design my classes to support many different learning styles and nervous systems, including kids who need to move their bodies in order to stay engaged. Movement-based mindfulness—like walking meditation—is one option, where attention is gently guided to the present moment through the rhythm of footsteps. I also incorporate games, discussion, creative activities, and art to keep things engaging and fun. Participants always have choice around how they participate.

My child could benefit from learning mindfulness, but they’re socially anxious.2026-02-14T23:59:55-08:00

They’re not alone—many of the tweens and teens who attend my workshops and groups experience some level of anxiety. The skills we practice support nervous system regulation, help participants notice and work with worried thoughts, and build self-compassion. The groups are intentionally small, warm, and low-pressure, with no requirement to share more than feels comfortable.

Do I or my child need prior experience with mindfulness or meditation to attend your programs?2026-02-15T00:00:16-08:00

Not at all. My programs are designed for beginners and those with prior experience alike. Everything is introduced in a developmentally appropriate, accessible way.

Are your mindfulness workshops and groups considered therapy?2026-02-14T23:16:55-08:00

No. While I do offer therapeutic support groups as a licensed therapist, my mindfulness, meditation, and yoga workshops and classes are not therapy. They’re educational and skills-based, offering a supportive, trauma-informed space to learn practical mindfulness tools rather than focus on personal processing.

What if my child doesn’t want to talk or share?2026-02-14T23:09:57-08:00

That’s completely okay! Participation is always optional. Participants are welcome to listen, observe, or engage through movement or art instead of verbal sharing.

How many attendees do your in-person workshops and groups allow?2026-02-14T23:19:09-08:00

My in-person programs are intentionally kept small (10-12 participants) to create a sense of safety, connection, and ease. Smaller groups help reduce pressure and allow each participant to feel seen and included.

What will my child gain from participating in a mindfulness workshop?2026-02-14T23:07:49-08:00

A stronger sense of self-awareness, practical tools for stress and big feelings, and a supportive experience of learning alongside peers in a welcoming environment.
