Joda
The Girl Who Lives Out Of A Suitcase
Joda lives out of a suitcase—but her heart is full of stories. She travels through bustling cities and whispering forests, collecting keepsakes from every stop.
Yet amid her adventures, she finds something unexpected: a gentle voice within. A tender tale of mindfulness, movement, and the beauty of finding home wherever you go.
" She doesn’t stay in one place—but she grows in every one.
Tiny treasures, big memories.
A story of going far—to grow close to herself. "

"If kids come to mindfulness young, they will have an easier time keeping compassion, empathy, and creativity alive; being happy; and pursuing their dreams."

Growing Awareness Through Stories
I collaborate with museums and galleries to offer children’s well-being activities. These sessions are designed to help children engage with art and nature in a calm, curious, and reflective way. Using gallery collections and the natural world as inspiration, children are encouraged to connect with art, nature, and their own bodies and emotions.
