The Mindful Steps

I am very greatful for having a consultation with Lena. I can undestand my daughter better.I also have a recording of it and I can replay even with my husband.I also have received a supporting information with the list of books.I had one consultation for now, but I had got lots of tips and useful ideas collected from different resourses by Lena, which helped me to have the result much quicker than if I started investigating on my own.Big thanks from all of my family.

I'm a mother of 2 wonderful kids.My son, who is 9, is very active,  always has busy mind and active life. He doesn't know how to relax both his body and his mind. With his busy life he needs to recharge fully and have a good sleep. There are some weeks/days that it's hard for him to fall asleep or sleep through the night. When we tried Lena's meditations,  I couldn't believe how much he was involved,  how much he imagined, and how well relaxed he felt after that. We also follow/try a lot of other practices/advice from Lena's page, and we already implement some yoga with stretching routines. My daughter, who is 6 y.o., is more relaxed, less stressed, very good sleeper, she also enjoys relaxing with her brother, and I hope we are building a good base for her mind awareness and  her confidence. It's great to have this bank of information on mindfulness available any time.  We cannot wait for the meditation album to come out too!

My 10 y.o. son really enjoys listening Lena's meditation for kids before bed, her voice is very soothing and calms his mind, he says that he feels happier after meditation and falls asleep quite quickly. thank you a lot for this wonderful experience. I also love the fact that I can choose between 2 languages (English and Russian) :))

Working with Lena is a dream. She is so calm and kind and her gentle and genuine nature puts you instantly at ease as if talking to an old friend.We first came across Lena on the festival of functional medicine where my daughter and I took part in a childrens meditation. We then went on to use he her beautiful meditation tracks to wind down before bed.Since then we have gone on to utilise the parents consult and now my daughter is having 121 sessions to learn more about her brain and emotions and how to support herself through tricky times. A absolutely loves this time and warmed to Lena immediately (no surprise there) The small language changes and approaches and understandings she has given us as a family have been invaluable and I am sure will make a huge impact as our learning progresses.Having someone to talk to about parenting challenges, free of judgment and full of kindness and learning how we can better support our childrens emotional well-being is without a doubt the most preschools investment we will make in our parenting journey and feel very lucky to have crossed paths and be sharing this journey with Lena.

Dear Lena! I would like to thank you for your Forest Meditation! My kids and I do it before bed - it calms them down so much that my 6 year old falls asleep every time we do it! Kids really like the story - it uses their imaginations/visualization and teaches them about their own emotions! Meditation is a very useful skill to learn at an early age! Looking forward to your new meditations!

My 10 year old daughter and I have found your meditations such a lovely, relaxing way to wind down at bedtime. The special time spent listening and chatting about the meditations has brought us closer together.

I feel very lucky and proud to know Lena personally. Lena is a kind of person that is always on your side, sharing her wise, calming thoughts and ideas that suit your situation the best way. My son is a first grader and he has some behavioral issues at school. Lena's experience and knowledge, her tailor made practices have helped me and my son to feel more comfortable and more confident at school. I know Lena herself was a school teacher in the past, later she practiced yoga with children - she has made quite a way to mindfulness she is practicing today. By now Lena has gained so much to share. To me it feels there's no issue she can't help you with.

We have nearly completed our course of mindfulness coaching with Lena and we are so thrilled with our son’s progress.Having built a special relationship with Lena through joining her meditations, we knew she would be the right person to help coach our son through a difficult time. Lena has helped build a greater understanding of emotions, confidence, self esteem and a more positive attitude, all things our son finds tricky. She has gone above and beyond to tailor the sessions and activities to suit our son’s interests in order to ensure he engages with him.They have a lovely bond and Lena has really taken the time and effort to get to know us as a family to see how best to approach certain issues. Our son looks forward to speaking with Lena and enjoys all of the challenges and activities he is presented with. We have noticed a real difference in his attitude and it’s wonderful to see him using the skills he has learnt with Lena to help him navigate himself through situations he finds difficult.The support and guidance Lena has and continues to give us, is invaluable. Lena’s knowledge is extensive, her library of resources seems never ending, she is approachable and always on hand to help in any way she can, she has such a kind and caring nature.Our son loves receiving little videos, voice notes or cards of encouragement from Lena. She is one of a kind and we are so very grateful to have her help to guide us through our journey.

I took part in the Family Wellbeing Festival organised in October 2021 by the brilliant Lena of The Mindful Steps.It was a few days event with a great variety of guest speakers and very useful advice from experts in their respective fields.All talks were aimed at supporting parents to look after themselves and to nurture their children with intention, compassion and the latest knowledge in the field of child development, nutrition, mindset and well-being.I enjoyed the live format on Facebook, where the visitors could ask live questions to the speaker.Replay was also available in Lena's private Facebook groupLena was engaging throughout the festival and parents & carers had the opportunity to ask questions in private in respect to their privacy.It was like a school fair event with useful prizes for the visitors.Thank you Lena for the lovely experience. Will definitely sign up again should you launch a second festival in the future.Jona from Time4PA - Virtual Assistant Services
