Our evidence-based mindfulness approach teaches children how to control their bodies, breathe, focus and relax.

It is the science of happiness.

At Mindful Child we offer a whole-child approach to wellness. Our unique therapeutic technique utilizes many alternative and complementary therapies that are backed by neurological research. At Mindful Child, we work to find the root of the problem, not treat symptoms. Our integrative, health-based approach, combines neuro-sensory-motor techniques with growth mindset, positive psychology, nutrition, cognitive behavioral therapy, aromatherapy and relaxation training. All therapy sessions are play-based and the aerial yoga hammock is used as a therapeutic prop to enhance mindfulness, executive function, and relaxation.

Therapy Sessions

Childhood is full of fun and play, sure – but kids also experience stress, anxiety, challenging situations, and overstimulation. Yet knowing how to deal with these obstacles is not an innate skill that most kids have. In our mindfulness-based therapy sessions, we teach your child how to be mindful to promote emotional balance and resilience. Mindfulness shows children how to overcome challenges through guided instruction in fun, sensory and evidence-based activities. Mindful Child’s mindfulness approach is combined with a variety of other health-based practices based on your child’s individual needs. Our therapy sessions teach your child to reduce stress, improve concentration, and handle difficult emotions.

  • Aromatherapy

  • Behavioral Nutrition

  • Growth Mindset

CANCELLATION POLICY

At Mindful Child Aerial Yoga, when you make an appointment‚ you are reserving that time for your child’s use alone. We are not like a doctor’s office where we can see multiple patients throughout the day regardless of the day. In contrast, WE ONLY HAVE LIMITED PRIVATE SPACES PER WEEK and these spaces are reserved for our clients that are signed up for therapy. Your child’s service frequency is determined by what we feel is necessary to meet the established goals. Therefore, if your child is being seen by Mindful Child Aerial Yoga it is because you agreed to a reserved slot. As such‚ Mindful Child Aerial Yoga requires your commitment to pay for any missed or canceled appointments. Appointments may be rescheduled within the same week as the missed appointment if there is availability.
