Rooting to Rise Offerings
One-on-One, Small Group, or Classroom Education
I have 10 years of experience curating original curricula and customized content for learners of all ages! Educational offerings range from private art lessons and children's yoga classes that meet the needs and interests of your child to hosting toddler art groups, birthday parties, or leading classroom lessons about specific developmental domains or curriculum-based content.
I also have experience facilitating workshops for parents or caretakers and young children as well as intergenerational programming. No matter the setting, the approach is exploratory, process-based (and, of course, always playful!) to help early learners learn about themselves and the world. While primary thematic offerings include children's yoga and mindfulness, art education, art history, and nature exploration, I can also tailor content to meet your specific interests and needs.
Educational Consulting
Whether your family, classroom, school, or organization wants to learn more about early childhood development, make content more developmentally-appropriate, sensory-friendly, or accessible to young learners, or integrate more creative and inclusive learning opportunities into an existing program, I would love to help!
Much of my professional work has included sharing strategies and approaches to improve the quality of teacher-child relationships and support the social-emotional needs of young children in various organizations. Let's work together!
Custom Projects and Partnerships
I specialize in customizing programs, lessons, and content to meet the exact needs of those looking to help and teach the young children they love and serve. I also have extensive experience partnering with local artists, schools, and community organizations to align instruction with specific curricula and theme-based content. Let’s discuss your needs and make your vision come to life!
Why focus on art, nature, and wellness with young children?
Art & Art History
Art and art history help children form a foundation for visual analysis, imagination, and creativity:
Fine motor skills
Multisensory engagement
Visual analysis and processing

Nature & Outdoor Education
Nature helps to broaden a child's perspective and fuels a natural sense of wonder and curiosity:
​
Novel, sensory experiences
Gross motor development
Risk-taking
Empathy and appreciation for communities and living things
Wellness, Yoga, & Mindfulness
Health and wellness concepts learned in early childhood promote physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing:
​
Healthy habits
