Breathe & Move Educator Institute

My Mission

I use movement, mindfulness, and creativity to support educators and students in feeling more connected—physically, emotionally, and relationally. Breathe & Move offers simple, grounded practices that help teachers show up with presence and reach students in meaningful ways. This work comes from years of being inside classrooms, moving with kids, and listening to what teachers really need

My Method

Each lesson, interaction, or semester plan is set with an intention using all or a combination of the following components.

Movement

I use creative, guided movement to help students and teachers regulate their bodies, focus attention, and engage with learning.s

Mindfulness

Breath, stillness, and awareness practices are woven into each session to support nervous system regulation and emotional clarity.

Montessori-Inspired

My lessons emphasize autonomy, repetition, and sensory learning—rooted in respect for the child and the prepared environment.

Upcoming Events & Trainings

From immersive teacher retreats to in-school residencies, I offer experiences that support both educators and students through movement, mindfulness, and creative learning.
