Welcome to Calm Ahoy Kids
Hello there! My name is Emma and I’m so glad you found Calm Ahoy Kids. When I became a Mum to my little boy, I wanted to create playful, creative ways to teach him well-being skills that I now love to share.
I have Bachelor of Science degree in Social Work and have worked with children and young people in schools and the community for nearly 20 years. I am also a trained Relax Kids Coach, kids yoga teacher and children’s mindfulness teacher.
I have always loved working with young people and supporting their mental health through teaching coping strategies and practicing creativity. I really enjoy using playful breathwork activities, mindset positivity techniques, relaxation and mindfulness skills.
Whether you are a busy parent, teacher, or caregiver; I hope you find fun ideas to try with your children! Take Care Emma x
