Rising Sun Kids

Rising Sun Kids offers a safe haven for kids to learn and practice what it means to live a happy and healthy life. Our holistic approach teaches kids how to become healthy both inside and out.

In today’s society, kids have it much harder than we did. Growing up in this technological age can hinder kids from experiencing vital human interactions and processing emotions properly. That’s why we focus on teaching kids developmentally appropriate social emotional skills as well as healthy habits.

When kids learn about holistic health at a young age, they are able to apply it to throughout the stages of their lives. They are able to become the best versions of themselves, happy and healthy in mind, body, and spirit.

Rising Sun Kids came about when I started combining everything that made me happiest in life: working with kids, being in nature, yoga and mindfulness, exercise, games, and healthy cooking and eating. I realized that all of these things should be a part of every kid’s life - that if they were able experience holistic wellness at a young age, they were much more likely to lead healthier and happier lives. Additionally, I wanted to help younger generations cope better with the constant stressors afflicting so many of us in this technological day and age.

Both my professional and personal experiences have given me a unique perspective on health, education, spirituality, and humanity. I have more than 10 years of experience as an elementary school teacher, 8 years as an outdoor education instructor, and 5 years as a certified yoga teacher, and 3 years as a certified integrative nutrition health coach. I am a lifelong student, continually developing my own skills, tools, and passions. My empathy and attention to kids’ individual needs, challenges, and stories allow me to connect and build trust and understanding with them. My childlike wonder, energy, warmth, and humor help me carry out my mission in my work with our young generation.
