Hi, my name is Theya,

I am a certified Mindfulness teacher and Forest School practitioner. I am part of a vivid community of mindfulness teachers, called Teach Mindfulness Academy. 

My background is in science. I graduated in Biology and Ecology and did my PhD in Conservation Biology and Environmental Protection.
I brought together my passion for both nature and conservation by developing my career in outdoor education.

My work as Forest School practitioner inspired me to look deeply in mindfulness and I did my training with famous author Shamash Alidina three years ago.

Since then I am working as a freelance practitioner and I specialised in teaching mindfulness for parents.
These are the people that I understood the best, being myself a parent.

I live in London with my husband and our 9 years old daughter.

You can learn more about me and my work on my website **[Mind Roots](https://mindroots.uk/about/)**.

My passion is to teach Mindfulness in Nature and this is why I started this group. 

I hope very much to meet a like-minded pea and to embark together on the journey towards Mindful Parenting.
