Welcome to the Mindful Explorers!
Hello, I’m Kelly, founder of Mindful Explorers and mum to two young children.
I’m a qualified primary school teacher with over 17 years of experience in the classroom, and a level 5 mindfulness teacher and coach, trained in Creative Mindfulness and Mindfulness in Nature. After my second child was born, I chose to leave teaching and start Mindful Explorers. I’m hugely passionate about helping children and their parents through big feelings and difficult moments.
Mindful Explorers offers a range of courses, workshops and sessions for children, parents, families and schools, both online and in person, that support children’s emotional wellbeing. I also run the Mindful Explorers Club, an online membership for families, with a growing library of mindfulness and nature resources, courses and workshops, plus a new mini theme each month to give you something fresh to explore.
My sessions are packed full of practical tools and techniques that help children calm their bodies and minds, understand their feelings and begin to manage them. Parents leave with a toolkit they can use confidently at home, and children learn strategies they can eventually use on their own.
These skills play an important part in children’s emotional wellbeing, as well as being a strong foundation for learning. They help to build focus, resilience, confidence and kindness towards themselves and others.
All of this happens through mindful games, storytelling, creative crafts, breathing and calming techniques, time in nature and play. And plenty of fun, of course!
Sessions are suitable for children throughout the primary years, and I work with schools from Reception to Year 6. I support families and schools across Cambridgeshire and the surrounding areas as well as online across the country. I’m also Enhanced DBS checked.
