About
The Little Wellbeing approach started with simple meditations I introduced in my classroom. Watching how quickly and naturally children absorbed mindfulness practices made me reflect on how little space is given to these tools within traditional education. I began exploring different mindfulness techniques and their connection to emotional regulation, gradually building a collection of resources and ideas. Over time, I realised there was a real need for these approaches, but very little time or space within mainstream education to fully integrate them. This inspired me to create a space where children could develop these skills in a more intentional and accessible way.
Who am I?
My name is Kristýna. I am originally from the Czech Republic, but spent the last 9 years in London, where my passion for mental health and wellbeing began. During my Master's degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics of Health at University College London, I explored the complex relationship between mental health, policy, and the environments that support wellbeing.
Alongside my studies, I became increasingly drawn to mindfulness and its potential to support emotional wellbeing. I completed yoga and meditation teacher training and became actively involved in the mindfulness community, exploring how these practices can be woven into everyday life.
I later worked in an SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) school, where I had the opportunity to bring these practices into my work with children. Supporting children with emotional regulation and wellbeing allowed me to see first-hand the value of mindfulness-based approaches and sparked the idea that became The Little Wellbeing.
