Lisa offers Peaceful Kids classes in Hawthorn, Ashburton and surrounding suburbs. She trained as a facilitator in 2016. Over the past 3 years, while working closely with children within her specialist teaching role, she has been able to observe first hand the substantial benefits of the Mindfulness and Positive Psychology program. Lisa has a Bachelor of Education and is completing a Diploma of Positive Psychology. She has 20+ years teaching experience and is passionate about the need to support students with learning difficulties and behavioural challenges to realize/capitalize on their strengths and minimize their anxieties. Lisa is now working in private practice – POSITIVEplus 4 Kids. She is offering Peaceful Kids classes, Peaceful Parents workshops and Primed For Progress tutoring 1:1. My Mission Statement The alarming statistics surrounding anxiety and depression have driven me to shift from mainstream teaching to work more directly within the Wellbeing domain. I want to positively impact the lives of those I work with. I aim to support children to develop the knowledge and skills required to minimize stress and anxiety, strengthen mindful attention, live with compassion, cultivate happiness, and flourish! Through the Peaceful Kids program, Peaceful Parents program and Primed For Progress tutoring I will promote Positive Psychology strategies and Mindfulness practices to assist children to develop a positive strong sense of self and to enhance their wellbeing. |

Lisa is one of the most gifted educators that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Not only does she know her theory and pedagogy, but she backs it up by intuitively understanding what her students need and how to move them forward. She is passionate about wellbeing and a perfectionist in seeking to provide the optimal, well rounded experience for her students. Furthermore, her calm, warm and friendly nature endears her to those children that may be feeling anxious and needing reassurance. I have witnessed the impact that working with Lisa has had on the confidence and self-esteem of her students and cannot recommend her highly enough. Jen Fitz Yarra Valley Grammar |
