Schedule Discovery Call

Mindful M3 is co-created with my 9-year-old daughter. She pressure-tests every routine in real life—morning rush, recess conflicts, homework time, bedtime wind-down—so the language lands, the timing fits, and the visuals invite kids to join in. This is a curriculum designed with children, not merely for them.

The Mindful M3 advantage

  • Scenic landscape of a lake surrounded by green hills and mountains under a cloudy sky.

    Built by an educator-clinician.

    Created by a veteran teacher with deep experience in mental and physical healthcare, integrating neuropsychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy with real classroom insight.

  • Hillside landscape with modern building, snow-capped mountains in background, cloudy sky

    Clinical practices, kid-ready.

    Evidence-based emotional regulation and thinking skills—breathwork, body awareness, CBT reframes, sensory resets—translated into playful, two-minute routines.

  • Modern wooden building with large glass window, set against mountains with grassy terrain and dried plants in the foreground.

    One language for school + home.

    Scripts, visuals, and call-and-response cues keep adults and kids aligned so practice sticks beyond the lesson.

  • Movement that regulates.

    Purposeful micro-movements down-shift stress and up-shift focus, preparing the brain to learn.

  • Group of children playing and running outdoors in a park with trees and benches in the background

    Proven in private practice.

    These are the same methods used successfully with clients—now adapted for children and groups, field-tested daily with a real fourth-grader.

  • Economic analyses estimate roughly $11 in long-term benefits for every $1 invested in quality SEL. Program-level benefit–cost reviews (e.g., Second Step) also show positive expected returns.
