I’m Amy Holden, a psychologist, certified mindfulness instructor, and mother. I founded Soul Mates because practising yoga and mindfulness has helped me enormously in my own life and in raising my two young sons. I want to give more kids the chance to discover these amazing tools for life.
Facing back to school without tantrums and without stress. Above all, a lot of calm. Here comes one of the most important moments of the year: back to school, back to routine.
