About Gloria

After studying ecology and environmental education as an undergraduate, I taught in outdoor schools, led kids on ropes courses, group problem solving games, hikes, and nature study. Before long this led me to a beautiful and magical school where I spent years learning and teaching science, preschool, and 3rd/4th grade.

In the middle of that experience I also got a M. Ed. and had a family.

Becoming a mom changed everything. It wasn't easy for me. I didn't know how to deal with my big feelings, or my kids' feelings. My confusion brought me to the life-changing study and practice of meditation. I've been practicing for the past 22 years. learning, most importantly, how to be in a friendly relationship with myself and my life.

By 2010 it was time for  change, and I left the classroom to start my own business teaching mindfulness and practical emotional skills to kids, then parents and other adults in classes and  one-on-one. In the years since, I have been creating and teaching curriculum integrating emotions, parenting & re-parenting, mindfulness, and transformative practices. I study astrology and find that it adds much support to building both self-understanding and self-love.
