ABOUT ME
The face
behind
Shantikid
My own experience of being diagnosed with dyslexia introduced me to external pressures that quietly wore down my self-esteem and replaced curiosity with frustration. I made it my mission to find the support and tools that could make learning inspiring again.
After graduating in Psychology BSc, I completed a specialization program in Dylsexia and Learning Difficulties at the Bildungsforum - Institut Dr. Rampitsch,Meditation Trainings in Nepal, India and Costa Rica, a Sound Healing Certification, and my current PGCert in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder at the NSPC, Middlesex University, London.
While working as an English Teacher at International Children's Centres in Barcelona, Milan, and Bratislava, I began developing creative mindfulness meditation lessons for my classes. Inspired by the artistic philosophy of the Reggio Emilia pedagogy and by nature, I started designing installations and innovative learning environments that invite all kinds of neurodivergent learners into a more joyful, engaged experience.
I am continuously deepening my practice, drawing on the latest research in psychology, personal practice, and ongoing workshops.
