Mindful Explorers is Kelly Tarrant in Cambridge, working on wellbeing with children, families and schools through mindfulness, nature and creativity. She taught in primary schools first, so the sessions are built for a class of thirty and for real family mornings rather than for theory. School sessions, staff training and one to one support, plus a free Daily Pause WhatsApp group. Working throughout the UK.
What they do
I work with children, families and in schools on wellbeing, using mindfulness, nature and creativity as the tools. That might look like me running sessions in a primary school, whole class or one to one, or it might be a mum in one of my WhatsApp groups taking sixty seconds out of a chaotic morning to breathe. I trained as a primary teacher first, so everything I do is built to actually work for real children and real family life, not just sound nice on paper.
Who it is for
Two groups really. Schools who want their pupils to have proper tools for managing big feelings and paying attention, delivered by someone who has stood in front of a class of thirty and knows what that actually takes. And parents, mostly mums, who are running on empty and want small, doable ways to feel calmer themselves and to help their children feel calmer too, without another thing to fail at.
What people come to them for
Children's wellbeing or children having big feelings. Things like a mindfulness session for their child's class, a school wanting staff training on wellbeing, one to one support for a child who's finding school big feelings tricky, or a parent wanting a bit of calm in their own day and some proper tools to help their child manage anxiety or meltdowns.
What makes them different
I taught in primary schools for years before I did any of this, so I'm not coming at children's wellbeing as a theory, I've been the person managing a classroom. I've trained specifically in mindfulness in nature, not just mindfulness indoors. And I don't treat any of this as fixing a problem child, every child benefits from these tools, the same way every child benefits from learning to read. My family work starts with something completely free, a Daily Pause WhatsApp group, because I think everyone should have a chance to bring a little time for themselves into their day.
