I chose Barefoot because of its symbolization of freedom. When I am barefoot I am relaxed, open and free. I feel warm and connected to the world around me. I feel no need to protect because my surroundings make me feel supported.
This is my goal for all of the children I work with. We work to ensure they can shed their layers of protection. We practice self-awareness and mindfulness in order to shift unhealthy habits. We engage in exploration and growth in order to establish healthy coping techniques and emotional regulation.
It is with gratitude that I welcome the chance to grow with you.
