Integrating Breath Heart Mind to grow & learn.

Hola, my name is Ana. I founded Breath Heart Mind in the fall of 2019 to provide students with reading specialist services. I began noticing the need to integrate ways in which a child can learn about their social-emotional intelligence, personal identity, and creative abilities in order to enhance their overall learning. My work has since expanded from providing reading tutoring, to offering services that helps students and parents integrate social learning with daily life experiences. Together we meet the challenges that take place in and out of the classroom. It is important to help students and families understand the ways that social-emotional and academic education are inseparable when it comes to optimal learning. 

My 20+ years of experience working with children, families and adults both in and out of the school settings allows me to create individual learning plans for each child and family. 

I am here to support you and your child on your all-encompassing learning journey.
