Heart Breaths for Big Feelings
Helping children connect to themselves through breath, imagination, and heart
The breaths help children slow down long enough to notice themselves.
Children begin realizing:
I can pause. I can choose. I can reconnect.
I am not helpless inside my feelings.
The Sun Heart Breath
Heart-Powered Breaths are short, playful videos designed to help children and adults move through big feelings with more connection, awareness, emotional regulation, and support.
These videos combine breath, imagination, storytelling, movement, emotional language, and lovable puppet characters to help children process emotions and reconnect with themselves.
Heart Breaths were created especially for sensitive, intense, and deeply feeling children who experience the world in a very big way.
Children whose reactions feel enormous. Children who absorb emotional atmosphere. Children who respond strongly to tone. Children who melt down, shut down, argue, resist, or explode when they do not know what to do with all the feelings moving inside them.
Beneath these behaviors is often a huge heart.
What We Notice Grows
Heart Breaths help children notice what is happening inside with more love, awareness, and support.
Begin building language for their inner experience.
Not just through words. But through feeling. Breath. Movement. Rhythm. Connection. Presence. Imagination.

Simple breathing tools for children who feel life deeply.
Heart Breaths help children and families work with big feelings through breath, attention, imagery, and play. Rooted in the heart-centered breath teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan and the I AM Heart school, Heart Breaths translate a living spiritual practice into child-friendly tools that can be used in everyday moments: before a transition, during a meltdown, after a conflict, at bedtime, or anytime emotions feel too loud to listen to and too big to hold.
Heart Breaths do not ask children to stop feeling. They give feelings a pathway.
When a child is overwhelmed, their inner world can feel fast, fiery, frozen, tangled, or too full. A Heart Breath offers one simple rhythm to follow. The breath helps the body organize. The heart gives attention a place to land. The image or element gives the feeling a new direction.
These practices are simple enough for young children, yet meaningful enough for the adults beside them. They create a shared language for what is happening beneath behavior, so families can begin to meet big feelings with more curiosity, steadiness, and heart.
Heart Breaths are where Heart-Fueled Tools begins: with the body, the breath, the heart, and the belief that every feeling carries energy we can learn to understand and work with.

Heart Sparks - Groups for Kids
Give your child the lifelong gift of Heart Breaths — simple, powerful tools to calm the body, reset emotions, and make wise choices from the inside out.
In these intimate, heart-centered groups (4–6 kids), we guide children to recognize what’s going on in their body, emotions, and thoughts — and to understand it as energy they can work with. Through playful exploration, movement, and real-time practice, kids learn to regulate their nervous systems, build confidence, and feel good about who they are and how they show up in the world.
Each week includes:
Guided Heart Breath practice
Sensory-rich play that supports emotional, physical, psychological, and social development
Encouragement to notice, process, and integrate feelings — not just label them
A compassionate space where kids are seen, celebrated, and supported in being their true selves
This is more than typical social-emotional learning — it’s a deep dive into self-awareness, embodiment, and heart-led living. These tools are especially effective for sensitive, curious, and energetically unique children who often need something different to truly thrive.
💫 Parent note:
We offer an optional parent meeting prior to the start of your child’s group.
Are you interested in joining a Heart Breath group yourself? Want to practice alongside your child? Let me know! I'd love to explore what would serve your family best.
