I'm a Relax Kids Coach, an SNA and ISTD trained Dance Instructor. Creating Calm, Confident Kids in a Chaotic World
I run fun and inspiring mindfulness/activity classes for children using the Award-Winning 7 Steps of Relax Kids.Giving children techniques to calm and relax body and mind while having fun! �Dance, Play, Stretch, Feel, Breathe, Believe, Relax
� I teach children emotional recognition and regulation, techniques to take control of their body's response to anxiety using imaginative games, activities and props.
� Each week, I take children on a magical and fun adventure. Children go to treasure island, under the sea, the farm, the jungle, the forest or outer space! Stories, songs, props, games and relaxation exercises are used to entertain and stimulate the child.
� I use the Relax Kids 7 steps to Relaxation method where children warm up, dance, play games, stretch, self- soothing massage, practice some breathing exercises, use positive affirmations and then lie down with their blanket and teddies listening to relaxing meditation stories.
� For the Chill Skills programme, children are given an inspiring journal to fill out each week. They learn ways to improve confidence, self-esteem, how to deal with school/exam stress, social skills, mood/anger control, growth mindset, self belief and empowerment. I also do inspiring activities with them such as vision boards, confidence bootcamps, kindness missions and other inspiring activities. Get in touch for latest course info

Last Saturday in the Junior Workshop the children were introduced to the Monster Emotions.
We focused on Anger 😠 😡 👿 😤
The children learned how to manage their big emotions with the help of a visual choice board and the ' traffic light' strategy. 😊😀
I run small group workshops every second Saturday Firhouse Community & Leisure Centre for 4 to 9 year olds.
*If your child is older, please get in touch, I'll be starting up Chill Skills for preteens soon*
If you're interested in these classes for your child please get in touch on WhatsApp 0868866991

Hi everyone! 👋
Sorry, I've been MIA the past while I've had a very busy Summer. Just over visiting the beautiful new Wellbeing Garden this morning. 😍
I'll be back running Relax Kids Workshops just before school returns, Saturday Aug 23rd!
l'll be in touch with all my regulars over the next few days. I also received a large amount of enquiries which I'll be working my way through too.
I hope you are all enjoying your Summer. See you all soon.

Welcome to my page, Relax Kids South Dublin. I am a qualified Special Needs Assistant, a certified ISTD dance teacher (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance) a qualified Relax Kids coach and a busy mum to 5 year old twins. I am passionate about children’s emotional health and wellbeing.
Relax Kids activity classes are carefully structured using the unique and focused 7 step system which leads children confidently through natural energy levels, directing high energy to low energy. Children feel engaged and the sessions are fun and energetic whilst ultimately relaxing and restorative for both body and mind.
Class Structure
Movement - incorporates dance and movement, encouraging development of core physical skills, improves coordination, boosts energy, circulation and a healthier immune system whilst helping release endorphins.
Games and Play - range of energetic and fun games that ultimately relax. The drama-based thought provoking games encourage and promote social skills and awareness. They will help build children's confidence and social, interaction and communication skills. They further develop focus and concentration.
Stretching and Balance - A set of yoga-inspired stretches are carefully demonstrated and used by the children to lengthen and stretch bodies and so improve postural awareness. These exercises help release physical tension, develop motor skills, body awareness, balance and flexibility.
Massage - Children are given the choice of taking part in self and or peer massage (with parental consent). These calming exercises promote positive touch and encourage respect, communication and empathy amongst peers. Children become aware of their own bodies and learn to respect others. Positive touch boosts the immune system, calms the nervous system, helps the production of Oxytocin and Endorphins and lowers stress levels in children.
Breathing - a range of child friendly exercises encourage deep breathing. These exercises help calm the nervous system and children feel the immediate effects whilst being taught how to use these techniques effectively for themselves. Breathing exercises also improve concentration and focus.
Affirmations - incorporates a range of games and circle time activities that enable children to confidently use positive affirmations and self praise. These enjoyable games and exercises include the use of affirmation cards and help improve children's emotional health and literacy. They also encourage the development of positive neurological pathways and promote and improve self confidence and self esteem. They also encourage the release of endorphins as children think and speak positively.
Visualisation - incorporates deep body relaxations, mindfulness exercises, guided imagery and visualisations. These exercises help release physical and mental tension, lower blood pressure, increase body awareness and give children de-stress and self management tools. Done regularly, these exercises can help relieve fatigue and promote deeper sleep while improving child anxiety. Improved deep sleep and general relaxation will improve concentration, listening skills, and memory retention whilst expanding the childs imagination and creativity.
