Leadership

 

Our founder, Heather Hawk Feinberg, was born in Santa Monica, California and called the beaches of Venice her playground for the first four years of her life. Since then, she has lived in California, Colorado, and many other states in the U.S. and even abroad. One of her favorites was the year she and her family lived in Israel when she was thirteen. 

 

Heather has been an educator for twenty five years and a counselor for eighteen years, but it was her exploration into the world of energetic and intuitive arts which formally began in 2009, where she awakened to a level of healing and freedom that was life-changing.

​

In 2010, she began her journey into motherhood, which has been the most transformative experience of all. Seeing the world through this new lens, her path began to change and she felt called to work with kids, parents, teachers, counselors and anyone who helps guide our children in brand new ways. Heather heard the call to return to her childhood love of writing, music, and movement. And that is how Mindful Kids was born...

​

Heather is a thought leader. Her work is focused and grounded in developing and creating tools for transformation in all aspects of life.

 

Heather has a B.A. in Anthropology, and an M.A. in Counseling and Human Services from The University of Colorado. She held a license as a professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Colorado. She trained extensively at the Inner Connection Institute in Denver, Colorado and is a student of A Course In Miracles. She is a certified as a Spiritual Director for Children and Adults. Above all else, Heather is here to learn, and this is how she loves to learn. She lives in Sarasota, FL with her husband and daughter where you can find her dreaming up her next children's book and sitting on the beach. 

 

Heather offers individual, couples, and family spiritual counseling and consulting. She writes for private organizations educating creatively about social emotional learning. Her work is featured in the children's magazine, Root and Star and online at mindful.org. Her debut children's book, Crying is like the Rain, was published in September of 2020 by Tilbury House.
