Here's what people are saying about the Mindful Monkey!

'What a fantastic experience! Thank you for delivering such an important program to our students. It was age appropriate, enjoyable, and reminded us all to take the time to be mindful.'

Jamie Ruddock, Viewbank Primary School.

Sam Pyatogorsky,

Wesley College

'Mindful Monkey was a wonderful, inspiring and highly engaging incursion for the Preps and Year 1's. All students learnt age appropriate techniques that they can instantly take back into the classroom, and their own lives, to help them stay calm, focused and happy. We have loved using the Mindful Monkey language and resources in the classroom, and even teaching the rest the school all the great strategies we learnt! Thank you so much for visiting us Mindful Monkey and teaching us to breathe and feel!'

Laura Walsh

Jess Bain

'What an amazing, engaging session! The kids enjoyed learning all about mindfulness and strategies to help calm us down. We can't wait to do the follow-up lessons. Highly recommended.'

Jess McCubbins

Seymour College

'The Mindful Monkey came to Seymour College and met with our foundation, year 1 and year 2 students. All students were truly engaged in the program and absolutely loved the puppet making. The follow up lessons were useful and easy to follow once our teachers were back in the classroom with the students and the small brain break ideas helped dramatically.'

Bettina and Naomi

Our Holy Redeemer

'Thank you so very much Donna for being our Mindful Monkey. Calm in the busy environment of
school life. The children were all so engaged, mindful and happily responsive to you as you guided
them in this emotive, sensory and mindful experience. A very worthwhile and rewarding experience.'

Suzie

Viewbank Primary

'It was fantastic! Children were very engaged and loved participating in all the activities. They can use
these mindful activities to help with so many parts of their lives and do them by themselves. Thank
you for such a great incursion'

Kelsey Mentiplay

Primary School

'Mindful Monkey was a wonderful incursion with ready made resources and mindful practices I can
use immediately. The Foundation students loved the session. MM exceeded expectations. The
take home sock monkeys were a lovely momento!'

'Fantastic! Kids were engaged – perfect amount of movement and listening for Preps. Resource Pack
will be great for continuing our mindfulness!'

Donna was energetic and captured the students’ attention beautifully. The students loved the
characters, songs and craft. The experience fitted in well with our inquiry unit (health) as well as
our existing mindfulness practice. We can’t wait to follow up with the resources and activities!

Primary School

Next week I will be talking to the staff about the program and how they can help their
children to be calm and relaxed by using Brain Breaks on a regular basis. I certainly would be
happy to recommend your program to any school. It was very reasonably priced and
excellent value for money. We will be very happy to have you back again next year for all of
our new Preps.
