About

This is my story!

Hi, my name is Lexie -

I got an early start to adulting, with the gift of my first daughter at the age of eighteen. This is when I found my passion; a love for the way children see the world, how they interact with their environment with a sense of wonder. Their young minds are like sponges, eager to absorb all the information around them. It was instantly clear that my purpose was in teaching.

With the encouragement and support of my family, I was able to start my first business at twenty-two. After working as a French teacher at a Montessori school in Westwood Plateau, and having my second daughter, it felt like the right time to start something on my own. I continued to work as a childcare provider, managing a successful daycare for over a decade.

Owning and operating a business taught me a lot in ten years. I fell back into my yoga practice after feeling like I was always taking care of everyone else and leaving myself last. As I’m sure most mothers can relate to this feeling, I found that I was no good to anyone else if I was pouring from an empty cup. Committing to a yoga practice, while putting my health first brought me to yoga teacher training.

Now I have the opportunity to combine my two passions. Through my experience, I truly believe that giving children the tools to better connect with themselves is the most valuable skill that will follow them into adulthood. I look forward to connecting with you on my new path with Mindful Matters Youth Wellness.
