How to create a calming corner: Nourish your senses, body, and mind by creating a cosy, nurturing, mindful nook in your home.

Add aromatherapy to your space with scents like peppermint and lavender in oil diffusers, essential oils, and candles. In partnership with Redfin.

“It was magnificent in its simplicity and in its effectiveness in getting the little kids to focus on their breathing. It calmed them down and put them into a relaxed state in no time."

Being thankful is something that we want to instill in children from such an early age, always telling them to ‘say thank you’, even before they learn the meaning of the word they may say it, purely because it is expected of them.
