Emotional Literacy Education for a Wholehearted Community
We teach educators, parents, and youth how to regulate their nervous system, connect with their emotions and thrive in their relationships.
Our programs promote personal empowerment, foster connection, deepen ones understanding of self and others, and cultivate compassion for the human experience.
We believe all parents and educators should have the same knowledge and access to these tools, so they too can be empowered by their own self awareness, and have the resources to assist the youth in their care.
As an emotionally literate society we can
develop skill sets that help us....
Determine our needs and communicate them authentically
Confidently engage when conflict arises and hold compassion for others with different perspectives
Thrive in our relationships and build meaningful connections
Increase productivity without compromising wellbeing
Minimize the impacts of trauma & learn to work with our triggers
By becoming more in tune with our body’s natural healing sequence, we learn to identify and manage our emotions. Through self regulation, taking strides in overcoming anxiety, depression and physical pain.
We set the stage for learning to occur by working with our biology to balance the nervous system, build confidence, and prevent burnout.

How strange that I should still equate professionalism with lack of emotion....especially considering that I run a business focused on emotions. Even “professionals” doubt themselves at times and have human feelings…
Emotional Waves
Have you ever seen that diagram of what to do in the case of being in the ocean when a big wave hits? You’re supposed to dive deep in order to keep yourself from getting tossed around by the wave, filling your lungs with water and leaving you disoriented and unable to find your way back to the surface. I feel this way about big emotional waves.
I’ve spent a considerable amount of time over the past several years learning to navigate the waves of emotions that used to take me under and leave me …
We Can Do Hard Things
This year I fully stepped into my role as an Emotional Literacy Educator and founder of the Emotional Literacy Movement. I rose to the role of leader of an incredible team, business manager, and bookkeeper. I research, write and deliver an increasing amount of programs. Sometimes they go off without a hitch and I’m left with the high that comes with the satisfaction of a job well done, knowing that I have made a positive impact in the world. Other times I encounter bumps in the road that send m…
