About Kids Meditation & Your Inner Penguin

Helping adults understand children's inner world

Hi, I'm Judy — a children's wellbeing educator, meditation and mindfulness teacher, and creator of Your Inner Penguin.

For many years, my work through Kids Meditation has focused on helping children better understand their thoughts and feelings, while giving the adults around them practical ways to support their emotional wellbeing.

Over time, that work has evolved.

Kids Meditation began with meditation and mindfulness classes for children, but today it has grown into something broader: a place for parents, teachers and caregivers to better understand children's inner world and discover practical tools to support them through the everyday challenges of growing up.

From Kids Meditation to Your Inner Penguin

Working with children taught me something important: wellbeing isn't simply about teaching a child how to be calm.

It's about helping them understand what they're feeling, giving them ways to navigate difficult moments, building confidence in themselves and encouraging a kinder inner voice.

That thinking eventually led me to create Your Inner Penguin.

I wanted to take some of the ideas I was teaching and turn them into something tangible that children and adults could use together.

And that's where Eric came in.

You'll find much more about Eric and his adventures throughout this website, but Your Inner Penguin ultimately grew from the same purpose that has always been at the heart of Kids Meditation — helping children feel understood, supported and more confident in who they are.

Two parts of the same journey

Today, Kids Meditation and Your Inner Penguin work alongside one another.

Kids Meditation helps the adults understand the child.

Through articles, ideas and practical resources, I share information around children's emotional wellbeing, mindfulness, breathing, big feelings, confidence, resilience and positive self-talk.

Your Inner Penguin gives children something they can connect with.

Through Eric, his friends, positive affirmations and wellbeing products, some of those same ideas are brought to life in a way that feels relatable, engaging and accessible to children.

Together, they share one purpose:

Helping children understand themselves, develop kinder inner voices and feel confident being exactly who they are.

A little about me

I'm originally from the UK and now live in Cyprus with my husband, teenage son and our very lovable dog, Pongo.

My journey into children's wellbeing began with meditation and mindfulness, but the more time I've spent working with children, the more interested I've become in what's happening beneath the behaviour we see on the outside.

The worry behind the anger.

The uncertainty behind "I can't."

The big feelings a child might not yet have the words to explain.

And the inner voice quietly shaping how they see themselves.

That's why my work today isn't about expecting children to be calm, happy or positive all the time.

It's about helping the adults around them become curious about what's happening underneath — and giving children practical tools, language and encouragement to help them navigate their own emotional world.

Peace | Love | Kindness

These three little words have been at the heart of Kids Meditation from the beginning, and they still guide everything I create today.

I hope this growing space gives you ideas, understanding and practical tools that make supporting the young people in your life just that little bit easier.

And most importantly, I hope it helps more children grow up knowing:

I am enough.

With love,
Judy x
