Biography
Lee started this program because she is a true example of someone who has developed resilience, self-compassion, and purpose in her own life. Lee was drawn to work with children as she sees the innate wisdom in each of them and wanted to stay connected to that. Societal expectations and old patterns can interfere with our ability to really see children as equals, listen to them, and learn from what they have to say. Lee learns from children every day and works to remind them (and adults!) of their inherent ability to be present and mindful. Lee’s mindfulness work with children is underscored by the belief that understanding and processing emotions in a healthy way, feeling empowered and focused, and reconnecting with natural qualities of compassion for ourselves and one another, can transform the way we feel. Through these teachings, we can re-wire our brains to promote resilience in times of stress, build a stronger sense of compassion and kindness, and find comfort in being with ourselves. A mother of two young children herself, Lee hopes to touch children, teachers, and caregivers in Maine and contribute to building resilience within communities. Lee fully embodies her yoga, mindfulness, and compassion-based practices, all of which support her need for a well-balanced life.
