The Sunshine Toolbox empowers students to have ownership over their well-being. It teaches them mindfulness tools and techniques to assist them to regulate their emotions, build resilience and become aware of behaviours and thought patterns.

In the school setting, I interweave relevant themes into the mindfulness sessions based on current needs. These include resilience, kindness, empathy, grit, responsibility, love, gratitude and love. A typical session begins with a short talk followed by movement, chanting, breathwork and relaxation. Afterwards, students reflect on how they feel and are given the opportunity to share their experiences.

Students are encouraged to regularly practice the tools and techniques taught in the sessions as a personal practice and to assist them to regulate their emotions.

I can work with schools to develop a program specific to their needs. 

I recommend 15-30 minutes per class for a session. Longer sessions will incorporate more movement which could contribute to required PE activity hours. Short sessions can be done in the classroom or a dedicated space. A one-hour session would need to be done in a large indoor space such as a hall or performing arts room. No more that 30 students per session.

         User Friendly Program for Teachers

I am passionate about sharing my expertise and have created a program to guide teachers to lead mindfulness in their own classrooms. Having worked as a schoolteacher for more than 15 years, I understand the school environment and the challenges teachers face balancing curriculum delivery and managing children. 

The Sunshine Toolbox is designed to outline the sequencing of a mindfulness session and supports teachers to incorporate regular mindfulness sessions into their teaching program. It encourages teachers to value consistent and regular mindfulness practices and the long-term benefits for their students.

It includes tips that I have picked up along the way as a mindfulness teacher.
