Hi! I'm Meredith.
Teacher, Lifelong Learner &
Well-Being Educational Consultant
"Too Emotional". "Would learn more if they talked less". "If only they tried harder" These messages that I received throughout my educational journey, as a primary and elementary student, still influenced my learning experiences into adulthood. What I know now about brain development, nervous system emotional processing and executive functioning changed everything. This is why my life's work is to support you and your echild in discovering 'in the moment' tools & foundational skills and strategies that support their individual systems, so they can live and learn with clarity, confidence & joy.
Anchored in the power of understanding their mind-body connection, we explore and incorporate a customized variety of resources, from mindful movement, EFT Tapping, somatic practices and more that are family friendly, school savvy & best of all emotionally empowering!
Over the 26 years I have spent in the fields of Childhood Development & Well-Being Education, I have developed an expansive range of skills and knowledge, much of which has been put into practice raising my own 2 daughters. When I am not co-creating with families, school groups and educators, I find joy in the fresh air spaces on mountain trails and coastal beaches.

Meredith has been helping both my girls (7 and 11 years old) for the past few months with their challenges with anxiety, phobias and navigating fluctuating friendships. She has given them the tools to better understand where big feelings are coming from, and provided them with strategies to better manage stressful situations. She has helped them be more confident and less anxious.
Both my girls are very different, whilst one of them is an open book, the other finds it hard to open up and verbalize her problems. Meredith has put in the time and allowed her to take the sessions at her own pace without pressuring her to share.
Having worked with kids for many years, she has the ability to connect with them and make the sessions fun. I can't recommend Meredith enough.

I am so incredibly grateful for the impact Wellbeing Walks with Meredith has had on my daughter. She has grown tremendously through the sessions, learning to understand and express her emotions, process challenges in her life, and develop essential coping skills.
Navigating both home and school life was particularly tough for her. At school, she was dealing with social challenges, and overall, school felt overwhelming. Meredith not only gave her a safe and welcoming space to talk through her struggles, but she also equipped her with powerful mindfulness techniques that have truly made a difference. My daughter now has the tools to process difficult emotions and handle tough situations with confidence and calmness, which will serve her for years to come.
What sets Meredith apart is her kindness, patience, and ability to connect deeply with her clients. Her skill in guiding my daughter through difficult moments and helping her understand herself better has made her stronger, more resilient, and more empowered.
We are so thankful for Meredith's support, which has been invaluable in helping our daughter grow emotionally and mentally.
I wholeheartedly recommend Wellbeing Walks with Meredith to anyone seeking meaningful, compassionate guidance. It's a gift that lasts a lifetime.
