About us

Fin was struggling

Fin was starting to ask if “Mummy was going to die?” or be taken to hospital again. I had to help him cope with his feelings, but I couldn’t find any mindfulness and meditation resources for kids his age.

“I made up some fun exercises and started to teach him breathing and mindfulness. It made a real difference in how he dealt with his feelings with my diagnosis, but it also helped him in other challenging situations, like leaving nursery, and starting school.

“Fin is now 10 years old and still uses breathing techniques, if friends make him cross at school for example. Not long ago, he told me he walked around the playground, breathing in and out until he calmed down.

"We often talk about what feelings mean, where they are felt in your body, and he understands that no feeling lasts forever.

"Spending a few minutes sitting together doing a short breathing meditation often calms the whole house down and gives us a real sense of connection as a family.

“Through my mindfulness practice at home and training, I’ve learnt so much about how it can help young children - if it’s approached in a fun way.

"I had to share this – and so Wee Seeds was born.”
