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.
