What our Clients say

"We really enjoyed the Mindful Literacy Curriculum, and found it to be a great compliment to our Personal Reflections class. It served our adolescent learners well, and supported our goals of providing the space to practice self-regulation during a time of great developmental change. Our students looked forward to being outside for their weekly lesson, and were very engaged in the heart-fullness practice Laura shared with us. We will use the skills she shared throughout the year in our community.”

Alsion Montessori - Fremont, CA

"Everything we learned at this retreat can be applied to the human existence — no matter what your profession is. But as a teacher, I can apply it all to the classroom — breathing, stretching, eating, listening, sharing, writing, EVERYTHING!"
