𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹: 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘅 𝗞𝗶𝗱𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵

Since 2017, Claire Gretton has been creating calm, confidence, and connection across Staffordshire as a Relax Kids coach. With a background in teaching and a heart for children's wellbeing, she’s found the perfect way to combine her passions – and the results are magical.

“M𝘺 𝘣𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘰 𝘧𝘢𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴, 𝘯𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺,” 𝘊𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘴. “𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘴𝘰 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴.”

For Claire, Relax Kids is more than just a job – it’s a way to nurture the whole child. Every session she leads is packed with tools to help children manage stress, build resilience, and feel good about themselves.

“I 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘙𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘹 𝘒𝘪𝘥𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦,” she explains. “I𝘵’𝘴 𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧-𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘦𝘮.”

Claire’s sessions are not only therapeutic – they’re fun, creative, and full of joy. Her background in teaching shines through as she engages children with imagination and play, all while building essential emotional skills.

“T𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘫𝘰𝘣 𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦 – 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯'𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.”

One affirmation holds a special place in Claire’s heart: “I am special.”

“𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨,” she says. “𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘥, 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘧𝘵 – 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘵. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦.”

Claire's story is a powerful reminder that small words can make a big impact – and that with care, creativity, and connection, we can help children grow into their happiest, healthiest selves.

Your passion could be the answer!

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻?

Is it helping children feel loved? Supporting families? Being part of the mental health solution?

Ana, one of our coaches, sat in a training for teachers and was shocked at the negativity. “I 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘹 𝘒𝘪𝘥𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘙𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘹 𝘒𝘪𝘥𝘴.”

𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲

We are social animals and work so much better in groups where we can share ideas, inspire and motivate each other. Pre-pandemic, we ran our training courses over a day. It was great fun, full on and at times overwhelming. The content was so rich, there was so much to take in and experience, but everyone LOVED the vibe of the group and went away filled with energy and inspiration.

We then moved our courses online and wanted to make sure we gave even more content. Everyone loves the on-demand element of the training where you can fit it around life and take time taking it all in.

But then in June, something happened… I woke up in the middle of the night one day and thought ‘why don’t we do a trial online group training. We add extra zooms and a WhatsApp and everyone can feel even more supported.’ It was only meant to be a one off but as it went SO well, I think it has to continue.

Here are some comments from our lovely summer cohorters.

"I decided to sign up and it felt like my calling. It brings me immense joy, a sense of purpose and truly meaningful experiences.I absolutely enjoyed the cohort training which connects people from around the world to share experiences and motivate each other. I never thought I could do a Zoom session at 5am but here I am (in Australia) rising with excitment every time! Marneta boosts my energy and fills me with positive vibes and enthusiams. Marneta has had an incredible impact on me both personally and professionally. Her authencity, depth, beautiful nature and inspiring presence are truly empowering." - Dana

"Training in a cohort has given me the motivation to start my Relax Kids training rather than keep putting it off for another day, another year! Connecting with like minds and sharing inspirations and insights with each other is worth its weight in gold. The cohort structure really helps build momentum towards a thriving business" - Jenny

"I've really enjoyed training in a cohort as it's great to connect with like minded individuals, share ideas and know that we're in it together" - Dave

"Really love being part of the cohort as it gives me confidence and motivation. It's so lovely to talk to people who share your passion and vision. I have been thinking about it for a few years but not acting on it. I'm better if I have deadlines, so the date of the cohort gave me the push that I needed. Also Marenta is so inspiring and gives you belief in yourself." Emma

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀?

Starting a children’s wellbeing business gives you a brilliant opportunity to make a huge difference to the lives of children in your area and also contribute positively to the community.

By helping children focus on their emotional and physical wellbeing, you can help shape a generation of resilient, confident, and healthy individuals. To start your business, you will need a clear vision, good planning, and a commitment to helping the next generation. Starting your business can be a rewarding venture, but it also comes with its own set of challenges.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝟱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳:

1: Lack of Market Research - Failing to conduct good market research can lead to not understanding what children and parents need. It's vital that you understand what families are looking for and how you can help. Without knowing what they really want and need, you can end up investing time and energy into creating something that you think they want but doesn’t resonate with them.

2: Insufficient Training and Qualifications - Make sure you have the right training and qualifications needed before you start your classes, especially if you are doing it alone and not going with a leading brand or franchise.

3: Ignoring Legal Requirements: - Many startups forget the legal aspects of starting a business, such as obtaining liability insurance, police checks, tax registration, and adhering to safety regulations. Familiarise yourself with the legal requirements specific to your area.

4: Insufficient Marketing - A good marketing strategy is vital for attracting families to your business. Many new entrepreneurs underestimate the effort required to promote their services and rely solely on word of mouth or social media. Ensure that you put time into business community outreach programs and create partnerships.

Set realistic goals, manage your time effectively, and consider hiring help or collaborating with others to share the workload. Balance your passion for helping children with self-care; this is essential for long-term success.

With everything that is going on in this world, we can feel our stress levels rising. Taking time out and encouraging children to tune out and tune in is now VITAL.

This is a simple exercise to try at home.

🧘‍♂️ Calm in the Chaos Game

Life is fast and chaotic.

There is always something or someone pulling at our time and attention.

Sometimes it feels as life is passing us by as we are in a frantic dash. Whenever you feel like the world is spinning, you can step off and watch it - like a game.

Take out a moment, breathe and just let go. Smile at the mess, love the muddle and laugh at the craziness.

You’ll feel alot better for it.

The key to thriving in a knowledge-driven, AI world.

In today’s rapidly changing world, self-investment has never been more crucial. As we move into an era dominated by AI and an overload of information, we need to remember that YOU are your greatest asset. When you invest in your personal growth, your skills, and your abilities, the returns are significant and long-lasting.

One of the best ways to invest in yourself is by continuously building your skillset. As the world evolves into the digital realm, humans will start to crave more connection and human interaction so ensure that you stay ahead of the curve and train in something that is uniquely human.

Training in personal development skills to help not only your own physical but the mental health of others is important at this time.

Here are some options:

Mindfulness and Stress Management - At a time of constant digital engagement, mindfulness and stress management are so crucial. Developing the ability to stay present and centered, even in high-pressure situations, is a valuable skill. Training in mindfulness and relaxation can help reduce stress, increase focus, and improve emotional regulation. Look into meditation, breathing exercises, or mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques.

Coaching and Mentoring - Becoming a coach or mentor allows you to invest in your own growth while also helping others reach their full potential. Training to become a certified coach will teach you how to support others through life’s challenges, guiding them towards self-awareness, personal growth, and fulfillment.

Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Training Emotional intelligence — the ability to recognise, understand, and manage our own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. As AI takes over more technical tasks, human connection, this has become a highly sought-after skill. Training in EQ includes skills like active listening and conflict resolution.

Therapeutic and Counselling Skills - As more people seek professional help for mental health challenges, there is a higher demand for qualified therapists and counsellors continues. As a mental health professional, you can help others by navigating their mental health journeys and provide a safe space for people to express their worries. Here are some thereputic modalities you may like to research: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), art therapy, or trauma-informed counseling.

Health and Wellness Coaching - Physical health is linked to mental wellbeing, and has become more popular as more people seek ways to lead healthier lives. Training to become a health and wellness coach will equip you with the tools to help others achieve their health goals, while also promoting a sense of balance and well-being in their lives.

Relax Kids Coaching - As a Relax Kids coach, you will gain a wide variety of skills that you can use to run successful classes to children and families. You will learn the Award-winning 7-step system to helping children and adults relax. This includes movement, play, stretching, massage, breathing exercises, affirmations and visualisations. You will learn how to help children reduce stress by using simple mindfulness and stress management techniques.

As a Relax Kids coach you can coach and champion children to be the best they can be with affirmations and positive thinking.

Make a list of what skills you would love to learn in the future and research some courses and training.

Investing in yourself yields a significant payback—both in terms of financial rewards and personal fulfilment. As you enhance your skills and knowledge, you open doors to new career opportunities.

Investing in yourself also leads to greater self-confidence and a sense of purpose. Remember to focus on skills that are uniquely human—such as emotional intelligence, communication, leadership, and mental health support—you not only improve your own life but also contribute positively to the well-being of others.

8 Fears and Worries most people have when they think about training/starting a new business

Embarking on a new journey can often bring about feelings of nervousness and uncertainty. If you're considering booking a Relax Kids Training Course or any other children’s yoga/mindfulness course, it's natural to have some worries and doubts.

In this post, we’ll look into the most common reasons and reservations which people have shared with us over the last few years.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟴 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀

1. "𝙄’𝙢 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙪𝙣𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙣" - Doing something new like booking a new training course can be intimidating, especially when you're unsure of what to expect. You might be wondering about the course structure, the learning materials, or the level of support provided. This is so natural as diving into something new can be scary. You can relax as our Training Courses are designed to provide you with a comprehensive experience. With the informative 24 modules and practical exercises as well as ongoing support and resources, we ensure that you have everything you need to thrive and succeed as a Relax Kids coach.

2. "𝙄’𝙢 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚" - Many are concerned that they lack prior experience in teaching or working with children or experience in relaxation/meditation. The most important thing in our eyes is your passion and the desire to make a positive impact. Over the last 20 years, we have trained coaches from all backgrounds and experience and many have had no prior experience working in this field. We provide you with the knowledge and skills so you can feel confident engaging and connecting with children.

3. "𝙄’𝙢 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙄 𝙬𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠" - In this current climate, it is totally understandable for people to be anxious about this subject. However, the demand for relaxation techniques and mindfulness practices for children is steadily increasing as it self-regulation techniques are so vital for children at this time. We have many self-employed coaches who are running their business full time and some are earning more than their previous jobs. However, it does take time. We always recommend that you build your business alongside your current job and transition slowly to take out the anxiety. It is of course double the work in the beginning, but it is worth it once you have built your business making a meaningful difference in the lives of children.

4. "𝙄’𝙢 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙄 𝙬𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨" - One of the primary reasons people feel nervous about booking a training course is a lack of confidence in their abilities. It's important to remember that confidence is not something you are born with – it has to developed and nurtured over time. The best way to develop it, is to feel but fear but do it anyway. Our coaches have a slogan that they like to repeat to each other -JUST DO IT. They often say the thought of doing it, is usually far worse than actually doing it. We want you to gradually build your confidence and belief in yourself as you witness the positive impact you can have on children's lives doing this incredible work. We have found that coaches who have felt nervous to start, have grown in confidence to the point they love what they do.

5. "𝙄’𝙢 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙄 𝙬𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣’𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙧" - It's natural to have concerns about managing children's behaviour, especially if you have limited experience working with them. Most of class management comes not from theory but getting out there and doing it. It can definitely be scary, you will make mistakes, but that is the way to learn and grow. Once you move through your apprehension, you will start to enjoy and sharing strategies to create a calm and nurturing environment, establish clear boundaries, and manage challenging behaviours with empathy and understanding. I’m worried I won’t make enough money Financial worry is one of the biggest worries of this time as everyone’s budgets are stretched. We have introduced monthly payments plans to help make the training more affordable for you. This is an investment in yourself as well the lives of the children you'll be impacting. Many of our coaches have said after the training that the value is actually 10x more than what they paid. We know we are giving you so much value for your money and the value of the knowledge and skills you'll gain will far outweigh the initial cost.

6. "𝙄’𝙢 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙄’𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙗𝙮 𝙢𝙮𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛" - Setting up in business alone can be a lonely process especially if you have been used to working in a team. There will be times where you will be alone, planning and running your classes, but we have created a fantastic tribe of coaches who will help support you as you start your coach journey. Once you have trained, you will have access to a community of fellow coaches who are passionate about helping children and are eager to support each other's growth. We encourage community rather than competition and you will be part of a network that will serve as a valuable source of encouragement, guidance, and inspiration, and help you overcome any self-doubt and remind you to believe in yourself.

7. "𝙄𝙢 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙄 𝙬𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙨𝙝 𝙤𝙧 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜" The training is around 8 hours of training that has been broken up into bite-size pieces. You can slowly progress through the training at your own pace prioritising your time and managing your schedule effectively. Breaking down the course material into smaller more manageable sections will take away overwhelm. You may like to set aside dedicated time for your training to help you steadily work through the course. Work around your children, knowing that you are doing it for them. Remember to take support from others taking the training to keep up your motivation. You will have 6 month to complete the training. If something happens and you need more time, we can of course have a discussion.

8. "𝙄 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙭 𝙆𝙞𝙙𝙨 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜" - Feeling nervous about booking your Relax Kids Training Course is completely normal. However, it's important to recognise that these fears and concerns can be overcome. By taking this step, you are opening doors to a fulfilling career that allows you to positively impact the lives of children. You may be scared of the unknown, worried about not having the confidence or the right experience or ability to manage the children. You may worry that you won’t make enough money, get enough work or be good enough or you’ll be lonely in business. You may worrying that you won’t have time to complete the course.

Trust in yourself and us, knowing that over 6,000 coaches have done it before you. Embrace the unknown, believe in yourself, and let your passion for teaching relaxation to kids guide you towards a rewarding and purposeful future. Focus on the lives of the children you’re going to transform.
You don’t want to let your worries get in the way of such valuable work.

Let us know if you have any of these worries or if another one pops up. Join the chat on our facebook group - www.relaxkids.com/training
