After 20 years as an early childhood teacher, I realized I needed to find a way to relieve my work-related stress. This was necessary if I wanted to continue being my best as a teacher. In 2010 I explored holistic wellness practices as a way to find balance. My quest led me to yoga, meditation, mindfulness and energy healing. These practices helped me cope with stress and turned into a healing journey and a way of life. I pursued certification in these modalities to help others find balance and joy.
In February of 2026, I created Balanced & Joyful, a wellness service provider. It specializes in the unique needs of early childhood teachers and families. Balanced & Joyful offers weekly guided meditations, energy healing sessions & energy healing workshops. Specific infant teacher workshops are also offered as well as playgroups.
The holistic wellness practices I teach foster a sense of calmness and centeredness. These practices help set the tone in any classroom. A grounded teacher can stay in the observer mode versus reaction mode.
Most of the services are virtual and available to all.
Playgroups are available in the North-East Massachusetts and New Hampshire Seacoast areas. Here is the link to schedule a playgroup Facebook
