Ready, Set, Summer

A few months ago, I had the joy of attending an Education Conference where I connected with some truly incredible people — passionate educators, curious parents, and heart-centered vendors who, like me, are on a mission to help kids thrive.

I was there representing Neuro-Fitness Academy, sharing my movement-based learning tools, creative crafts, and the story behind how neuro-fitness became my life’s work.

One of the most meaningful connections I made was with the wonderful team at Gowing Joy Consulting. From the very first conversation, it felt like we were already on the same path — encouraging whole-child wellness, supporting families with tools that build emotional strength, and weaving joy into learning. Stacie and Christine’s mission is a beautiful complement to mine, and I knew right away that we were meant to collaborate.

In future blog posts, I’ll highlight some of their most powerful insights and share a few of my favorite takeaways from their newsletters. These gems are packed with tips and inspiration to help you create a summer filled with connection, calm, and fun — all while keeping kids' minds and bodies engaged. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it!

Ready, Set, Summer!
