Empower your teen with the tools to succeed in their personal and academic life in this 6-week mindfulness series!
A Mindfulness Program to Help Teens Manage Stress, Regulate Emotions, and Improve Attention, Connection, and Communication
Being a teen can be really stressful! Stress and challenging emotions show up every day at home and in school. Depression, anxiety, and sleep and attention problems are commonplace, tempting many teens to experiment with drugs or alcohol. When this happens, our youth need tools to help them navigate how they are feeling, respond thoughtfully, and cope in healthy ways.
Mindfulness training provides a toolbox that helps youth build more self-awareness and cultivate inner resilience. It teaches them powerful skills to manage stress in healthy ways and navigate everyday challenges more effectively. More importantly, mindfulness practices help our youth develop healthy habits for a lifetime of wellness and happiness by teaching them to live life more fully with kindness, compassion, and curiosity.
This six-week series will teach teens how to manage difficult feelings, grow in self-acceptance, and improve their overall well-being.

Her passion is bringing mindfulness to youth to strengthen their well-being and awaken resilience by helping them cultivate self-awareness and compassion and teaching them effective strategies to help them to communicate and connect in a deep and meaningful way.
Shantal was first introduced to mindfulness at a young age and has always had a passion for contemplative and introspective practices. In 2007, her interest in and practice of mindfulness deepened, prompting her to participate in various mindfulness workshops and retreats throughout the country. Inspired by the profoundly transformative and healing effects that she experienced on a personal level, as well as the unique challenges posed by parenting two young children and a teen, Shantal decided to become trained as a Mindful Educator through Mindful Schools so that she could help others achieve balance, clarity, and wellness for their mind, body, and spirit.
In teaching mindfulness, Shantal brings her experience as a parent, life coach, and her own daily mindfulness practice to provide a welcoming, supportive, compassionate, and healing environment coupled by a keen sense of the mindset needed to introduce and nurture a love for this invaluable practice to our youth.
As a mindfulness educator, Shantal offers both private one-on-one instruction to youth, parents, and individuals and public group lessons for youth via nonprofits, schools, and yoga studios.
Shantal is also a Reiki Master, writer, event producer, and marketing and PR consultant for individual practitioners, companies, and organizations in the personal growth and wellness industries. A native Spanish speaker, she also holds a B.S. from Georgetown University and a J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School.
