"If you don't show up in the world as your true self, you'll never find your people"

ETHEL, STUDENT, 11

Hi, I'm Alice

I’ve always had this sense that I don’t fit in. This plagued me as a teen and young adult when I succumbed to pressure to conform, and my mental health suffered terribly. Meditation and mindfulness helped me out of that black hole and allowed me to embrace and celebrate who I am. Overcoming this suffering is the motor behind the work I do with young folk and the adults in their lives. I firmly believe that the best thing we can possibly be is our truest versions - for ourselves, for our families, and for our communities and society at large.

I'm a certified kids meditation teacher, Connected Kids™ trainer, and founder of Meditation for Misfits. I’m all about supporting young people to go from surviving to thriving. I specialise in providing kids with mindful tools to support their mental health, especially those who don’t fit in!

Over the past 6 years, I've worked with young people facing struggles such as stress, anxiety, sleep problems, depression, low self-esteem. A lot of my young clients are neurodiverse.

Together we explore meditation as an invaluable tool to help self-regulate, process emotions, relax deeply and calm the mind. When co-creating ‘mindful toolkits’ with my clients, I draw on my own personal experience of overcoming chronic anxiety, insomnia and depression and create a safe, inclusive environment for kids and teens to thrive. As a Connected Kids™ trainer, I also train parents/carers and professionals how to meditate with kids.

I’ve seen time and time again how meditation acts as a bridge that connects individuals to their unique inner superpowers, fostering resilience, connection, and autonomy. I present my own radio show Meditation for Misfits on community radio KindaSound, I’ve been interviewed by Connected Kids™ founder Lorraine Murray, and you can download my signature 'I don't fit in' meditation for free here. With a Psychology degree and experience in arts project management and as a (very alternative) English teacher, I bring a diverse skill set to my work.

I grew up wild and free in Scotland, but my adventurous spirit led me to put down roots in foreign lands as an adult. I’m currently based in a wee town near Barcelona. I’m most commonly found adventuring (barefoot) in nature ;)

Does your kid or teen struggle with not ‘fitting in’? Do you worry about their mental health?
