About Bernie

Bernie Woods a.k.a The Meaningful Múinteoir is a primary school teacher with over 17 years teaching experience. Bernie has always had a keen interest in the well-being of children. Bernie believes that it is essential to equip children with the coping mechanisms and skills to deal with situations they may find challenging. She also believes it is important that children are given the opportunity to explore their individuality and creativity.
In 2021, Bernie trained as a Creative Mindfulness Practitioner for Children and has travelled around the South East of Ireland and further afield introducing mindfulness to children based on the creative mindfulness method  in primary schools, family resources centres and other community settings ever since. To date, Bernie has introduced mindfulness to hundreds of children ranging in age from 4 to 13 years old.

Bernie recently trained as a Creative Mindfulness Practitioner for Teenagers also.
Bernie loves writing poetry and spending time outdoors and she incorporates both into the sessions she delivers.

Bernie recently published a collection of mindful poetry titled 'Meaningful Mindful Poetry' to encourage children to explore mindfulness and their own well-being in a kind and nurturing way.
