About Us

Hello and welcome!

My name is Elissa Wilkes and I am the proud founder of Mindfully Aware, a company dedicated to the health, well-being and mindfulness, specialising in young children.

I am a qualified and experienced Early Childhood teacher, certified in Mindfulness and accredited in Youth Mental First Aid. I have a clear focus and passion to educate others about their feelings, emotions, self-awareness, self-regulation, resilience and responsibility.

From the classroom to a professional business, I have developed an array of mindfulness skills, strategies and resources, and delivered presentations to staff at school professional development days, primary school children, secondary college students and like-minded people at industry seminars.

I believe that the quality of our personal health and relationships has the greatest effect on our state of well-being, therefore it is key to educate young children with the skills and strategies to best understand themselves, and others, to effectively manage the many challenges they will encounter in life.

My aim is to provide the foundations to encourage, support, coach and educate children in mindfulness skills and strategies – and for each of them to live a positive and fulfilling life.
