I'm an educator, yoga therapist and public speaker, and mom to two grown boys. My work is dedicated to supporting children, teens, and families to develop strong inner resources through the tools of yoga and mindfulness. I understand the overwhelm and frustration that can occur when you have a child dealing with anxiety in your home, your classroom, or in your practice

I created this course to help you find a new way forward. Together, we will explore a strength-based approach to helping children manage anxiety. Along the way, you will have the opportunity to try many different practices that can help children (and adults) manage difficult emotions and meet challenges.

Anxiety is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an upcoming event or something with an uncertain outcome. People with anxiety disorders often have the experience of recurring intrusive thoughts, things that come up over and over again, that intrude on their day-to-day tasks and has an impact of their well-being. It's important to remember that anxiety is a normal part of life and it has a role to play, like all of our emotional experiences.

You will explore the relationship between the brain, the nervous system, and the body—and how anxiety can impact this relationship. This video explains how in this course, you will explore a new approach to anxiety by getting curious about what it is trying to tell you.
