Real Stories from Kids, Parents & Educators
Hi, I’m Julie Campilio
I’ve often felt like I carried more anxiety than the world around me, never quite feeling like I fit in. Over time, I discovered mind-body tools that helped me regulate my emotions and navigate life with a confidence I didn’t know was possible.
After becoming a parent, I learned that both my son and I are Autistic and ADHD, a discovery that reframed my story and deepened my purpose. Drawing on my personal journey and two decades of working with children from all backgrounds and learning styles, I created evidence-based programs to help kids, families, and educators navigate big emotions and strengthen emotional regulation skills.
Today, I share the tools I once longed for as a child, equipping children—and the adults who care for them—with playful, practical strategies to regulate emotions, feel grounded, and grow lasting resilience. My work supports families, schools, hospitals, and organizations in bringing accessible emotional regulation tools to the children in their care.
