Finding My Purpose Through Calm: My Journey as a Relax Kids Coach
Becoming a Relax Kids coach has been nothing short of life-changing—for both myself and the children I’ve had the privilege of supporting. Just a few months into this journey, I already feel I’ve found my true passion: nurturing wellbeing, resilience, and emotional growth in young people.
My journey began within the comforting walls of a school, delivering school written wellbeing classes, along side my SEN support role.
These once a week sessions quickly became more than just part of their school day—it became a safe space for children to breathe, unwind, and reconnect with themselves, which was so uplifting, not only for the children, but for myself too, but I still felt they still needed more and started my search for a system where I could deliver wellbeing, suitable for children to access themselves both in classes and with skills they can use at home. And found Relax Kids!
The structured seven-step program, blending movement, games, stretching, breathing, affirmations, and guided relaxation, offered a gentle rhythm that children both enjoy and learn from!
I’ve been holding classes in a local Well Being Studio once a week, for a couple of months now, but the changes I’ve seen already are incredibly encouraging. Children who were shy or unsure now walk into the room with more confidence. I see smiles more freely given, moments of calm more easily reached, and a growing awareness among the group that it’s okay to pause and just be. That kind of progress, in such a short time, shows the real impact of these sessions.
What moved me most was hearing from the children themselves. One child shared that this was the only time they allowed themselves to fully relax. That one sentence stayed with me. It reminded me why this work is so important and just how needed these moments of stillness are in young lives that are often filled with stimulation and stress.
Inspired by the transformations I’ve witnessed, I will be launching more local after-school Relax Kids clubs to reach even more children in the wider community. Every child deserves the chance to feel safe, heard, and calm—and I am committed to making that happen.
Looking ahead, I’m filled with excitement and curiosity for what the future holds. Whether it’s growing my presence in local schools, collaborating with community centres, or introducing family sessions, I know this is just the beginning.
I’m proud to be a Relax Kids coach—and even more proud of the children who are learning, day by day, that their wellbeing matters.
