Welcome!

Hello, I’m Cheryl Davies and I am a children's picture book author and mindfulness and wellbeing practitioner based in Staffordshire, UK.

 

I have three wonderful, strong willed daughters who really keep me on my toes, there’s certainly never a dull minute in our house. I also live with my husband and our crazy French Bulldog - Meeko. I’m not sure out of the 5 of them who causes me most trouble, but I love them all dearly and I wouldn’t change a thing.

​

My desire and passion to help children has always been the driving force behind my career aspirations. Many years ago now I completed a BA Honours Degree in Childhood Studies. I then spent almost 20 years supporting children who had experienced trauma through 1:1 and group support. After this I took some time out to complete my lifelong ambition of writing a children’s picture book. I am now extremely proud to say that I have recently published my 3rd book with more on the way. 

I decided to further my studies by completing a post graduate certificate in Children’s Psychological Wellbeing Practice. Providing guided self-help to children and young people who were experiencing worry, anxiety, panic, low mood, phobias and low level OCD. Whilst completing this course I became really interested in the power of mindfulness and self compassion and I began studying to become a creative mindfulness kids practitioner and I completed Louise Shanagher’s fabulous Creative Mindfulness Kids course which enables me to teach creative mindfulness. I am now fully qualified to deliver the amazing Mindful Heart Curriculum within schools, as well as being able to offer creative mindfulness and wellbeing classes to children within community settings. 

​

I am extremely passionate about the preventative side to mental health and I believe that introducing mindfulness to children from a young age in a fun and creative way, can enable them to overcome and manage many of the obstacles that inevitably life will deliver at some point in their lives.
