About Natasha I have 7 years experience working with children in the youth and community learning space. This included delivering family support, family learning, and social-emotional learning sessions with children, in a primary school, for three years. Many of the children I worked with found it challenging to manage their emotions, which impacted their wellbeing and increased stress for their family members. Additionally, they often found it difficult to develop friendships and interact with their peers in positive ways. When children are introduced to mindfulness techniques it can help them navigate conflicts with siblings and peers in a positive way. By becoming a member your child(ren) will discover ways to calm down, experience big emotions and gain effective tools to manage feelings such as stress and anxiety. After having my son, I decided to turn what was my side business into my full-time work. I wanted to continue supporting children and families specifically with my books, mindfulness and yoga practices. I primarily offer support to neurodiverse families, however I created this membership for all children. When I was growing up I didn't see myself or my siblings included or represented in books. I want to highlight the importance of diversity and inclusion to every child to promote kindness and acceptance towards others. Join today for only £20 p/m (for your whole family). You can cancel your membership at any time. No refunds for previous months that you have joined the membership.  Contact Find out more about my work or ask any questions by getting in touch below: Website: www.butterfly-minds.co.uk Email: hello@butterfly-minds.co.uk Instagram: @natasha.iregbu.writes and @butterfly_minds_
