Christy Lynn, Founder of Healthy Mind Space
Typically there is a passionate reason for people to share their ideas online. I am no exception. 

My desire started in January 2018. Healthy Mind Space began as a blog. I just wanted everyone to know how powerful mindfulness practice could be not just for your own personal sanity, but your kids! I had twin 2 year olds and I was teaching 3-4 year olds in a public school UPK class at the time. I was surrounded by little humans living in the present moment (they are the best reminder!) but struggled with self-regulation of emotions and attention. So not only would their emotions ride an incredible roller coaster, I realized mine could, too...but mindfulness helped me, so could it help them? You bet. 
  

Our culture is busy. It is filled with remarkable stimulation. Incredibly our minds learn adapt to taking things in at rapid speeds, particularly with our "on the go" approach to daily living and technological advances. But learning at this rate can also create challenges in slowing down to focus on the present. We often find this challenge when our children reach school age. We often forget to breathe. To take time for peace and quiet; to focus on just one thing. We need balance. 

Finding that balance is crucial to feeling prepared to take on the ups and downs of our daily experiences-no matter what age. We must learn and take time to be present in our own zone. To be mindful; anywhere, anytime.

Fast forward three years - with a wealth of professional study and collaboration under my hat - and here we are with courses being offered for educators, parents and children.


​Thank YOU for taking part in the development of Healthy Mind Space.

​Two quotes that changed my life...

Keep it simple.

Life doesn't happen to you, it happens for you.


It is OKAY to create time for yourself. It really is! Make yourself a priority so that you can support your children. Being in a state of peace and happiness will help you be the best version of yourself for your family, friends and career.
