Frequently Asked Questions

The foundation level is for beginners (parents/carers) and it assumes that you have little or no experience of meditation or teaching it to kids or teens.   At this level you learn to teach children on a personal basis (family/friends). There is a completion certificate with this level of training.

The professional course is designed to train you as a certified meditation teacher for kids and teens - including those with more complex needs (*autism, SEN, adhd and an intro to working with trauma). 

In the professional training, we automatically include the foundation stage as an extra (free) bonus to ensure that all trainee meditation teachers have the skills and experience they need. After assessment, there is an accredited certification awarded to each new Connected Kids Tutor.

The Mindful Toolkit is a good started step for those that need inspiration to add a few teaching mindful tools to your current ideas toolkit.

The Masterclass for Trauma gives current professionals (who are already working with children with trauma) advanced mindful and energy awareness skills to add to their current, professional practice. This is an optional development step for our professional Connected Kids Tutors.


*If you personally have a child with complex needs or SEN and aren't interested in professional training, we would suggest you complete the foundation course accompanied with our 2nd book - Connected Kids.

(*Estimate between 1 to 2 hours for each module)

  • The mindful toolkit has 5 modules

These courses have an evergreen enrollment - in other words you can begin as soon as you purchase the course and depending on the access and skills you need, you choose what's right for you. 

If you opt for lifetime purchase - you will have lifetime access to the course and can secure certification.

If you opt for the monthly membership access, you will have access to the course modules for as long as you need it - only applicable to foundation, professional and masterclass.


This is a new addition to our Connected Kids programme.  It is designed as a CPD Masterclass for our qualified Connected Kids Tutors. However we have opened it up to professionals working with trauma as it combines meditation skills with energy awareness to complement their current professional practice with children affected by trauma.

Some of our courses are offered on a monthly membership access - these are uncertified and your access is based on continued payment.

Full purchase will usually offer completion certificates or professional accredited certification.
