Ciaran Ivanovic

Ciaran Ivanovic founded Mindful Kids in 2016. She is a former Montessori teacher who is passionate about supporting the mental well-being of children and adults. She has been teaching mindfulness both indoors and outdoors for the past decade and has, on a personal level, experienced the transformative effect nature and mindfulness can have on one’s life.

Ciaran loves to use her artistic creativity to develop new ways of engaging children. Many of her ideas are being used by teachers and health professionals around the world. Ciaran also enjoys writing mindfulness meditations and exercises - her most recent commission was for Bloomsbury and a well known series of children's audio books. Recently launched are Ciaran's nature-based mindfulness cards (see Peace Packs in Shop).

Ciaran began her own meditation practice 25 years ago in the tradition of the late Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh. Her visit to his mindfulness village in France (in 2018) was hugely influential on her style of teaching and inspired Ciaran to develop the internationally accredited, Teaching Mindfulness in Nature to Children online training program.

Ciaran is someone who ‘walks the walk’ and can often be found walking mindfully on Hampstead Heath where she leads therapeutic ‘Walks of Wonder’ for parents and carers.
