Our children are our future!
Why Mindfulness?
Mindfulness refers to the act of being fully present and engaged in the current moment,
without any distractions or judgments.
It involves being aware of your thoughts, emotions, and surroundings,
and accepting them without attempts to alter or regulate them.
Research has demonstrated that mindfulness can offer a range of advantages for children, such as better concentration, decreased levels of stress and anxiety, and improved emotional control.
Additionally, mindfulness has been found to enhance cognitive abilities and social skills. In our fast-paced world with lots of distractions, children often become overwhelmed, overstimulated and anxious. Staying focused and achieving their goals at school and enjoying their free-time becomes a true challenge for many children.
By teaching children to be present in the moment and to pay attention to their thoughts and feelings, mindfulness can help them navigate the challenges of growing up with greater ease and resilience. The Heartfelt Mindfulness Training also helps students to be calm during situations when they would have previously become very hurt, confused or overwhelmed.
About me
Hello, I am Nicole,
An accredited Creative Mindfulness for Kids practitioner, a patient, kind, caring and creative professional with 13 years of experience as a public-school teacher in Germany. I have prepared and led lessons in English, Music, Drama, Home Economics and Arts. I have also supported children with special needs such as autism, hearing disabilities and learning difficulties. My work is characterized by a respectful, mindful, non-judgemental, playful and creative approach to help children overcome self-doubts, fears and achieve their goals. I am passionate about fostering positive Mental Health and Wellbeing and supporting children on their way to adulthood with ease, calm and clarity.
I really enjoyed working with Nicole for more than ten years. She was always a reliable and approachable colleague who took the concerns of the people around her very seriously and tried to find solutions together with them.
I found Nicole to be a very positive woman who always had her students and their needs in mind and always supported them in their personal development. Her commitment was never reduced to the factual level, but she also developed strategies for their future together with her students. I was particularly impressed by her work as a teacher of performing arts.
Over many years, I have been able to observe how she helped students to gain more self-confidence and self-esteem with her work, thus revealing completely new perspectives on life to them. Nicole herself was also a model for many colleagues. She always knew how to allow the needs and goals of everyone and to support and value them in her work, regardless of her own preferences. Nicole was and is a great asset to each colleague and to the further development of each individual.
