The story so far…

Hey, I’m Katriona and I founded ‘Creating Kinder Kids’ to make wellbeing and kindness fun & exciting for the next generation.

After graduating from Drama School I worked professionally as a performer for eight years throughout the UK and overseas. Alongside this I taught various drama workshops in schools, was a children’s party entertainer and a part time nanny. I later went on to pursue my travelling dreams working on a super yacht.

This is where my wellbeing practice began. I fell in love with yoga, going to as many classes as I could thriving in the kindness of this new community. I began using meditation & breath work to ground and calm me during busy charter seasons and would journal daily. I loved my crew and I was lucky enough to visit some incredible places but I really missed working with kids and the excitable energy they bring to everything. I would get so excited when we had families on board and I loved coming up with fun games and activities to keep them entertained.

During quieter periods I listened to lots of wellbeing podcasts and noticed a prominent theme of how stressed and anxious everyone was becoming… but what really upset me was that this was no longer a problem for reserved for adults and teens.

Numerous studies showed children (in some cases as young as four) were more stressed than ever before especially after a pandemic keeping them away from schools and their friends.

I could see the benefits and importance of nurturing a wellbeing practice like the one I was creating in my own life and believed it would benefit children immensely. I headed off to the Peruvian jungle and completed my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training. I have loved integrating this knowledge with my theatrical skills & teaching experience to create exciting and engaging workshops for kids, full of easy mindful practices with kindness as the core focus.

Using a mixture of yoga, breath work, meditation, drama games, empathy role plays and crafts, your kids will be throughly entertained as they adventure through the ‘Kingdom of Kindness’ forming great habits and becoming consciously kinder to themselves & others.

I really hope to see your little ones at a session soon.
