Mindfulness Education at Mindful Moments
Helping People Stay Grounded While Growing Through Life's Challenges
Hello, I'm Shantae—a longtime educator, mindfulness instructor, academic coach, and founder of Grounded N Grace.
For nearly two decades, I've worked with students, families, and educators, helping them navigate both academic and personal challenges. Throughout my career, I've witnessed firsthand how stress, anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm can impact learning, relationships, and overall well-being. These experiences have underscored the importance of emotional awareness and stress regulation in fostering a supportive environment for growth.
This inspiration led me to create Grounded N Grace—a wellness and educational consulting company dedicated to helping students, educators, families, and communities build resilience, strengthen emotional well-being, and thrive. We focus on preventative mental wellness through various initiatives.
Through programs like Mindful Moments, our signature mindfulness practices and social-emotional learning initiative for schools, along with academic coaching, wellness workshops, and community experiences, we provide practical tools that support both personal growth and long-term success. At Grounded N Grace, we believe that wellness and achievement are not separate journeys. When people feel supported, grounded, and empowered through mindfulness practices, they are better equipped to learn, lead, and navigate life's challenges with confidence.
Whether I'm partnering with a school, coaching a student, facilitating a workshop, or leading a wellness experience, my mission remains the same:
To help people become more grounded, more present, and more equipped to thrive.
My Approach
I believe growth occurs when people feel seen, supported, and empowered through emotional awareness. My approach is rooted in:
🌱 Compassion
🌱 Connection
🌱 Self-Awareness
🌱 Mindfulness Practices
🌱 Practical Strategies
🌱 Lifelong Learning
Rather than focusing solely on performance or outcomes, I help people develop the skills and mindset needed for stress regulation, navigating challenges, building confidence, and fostering preventative mental wellness for sustainable success.
What I Do
School & District Programs
Mindfulness practices and social-emotional learning experiences that support student wellness, emotional regulation, resilience, and a positive school culture, fostering emotional awareness and preventative mental wellness.
Academic Coaching
Personalized coaching that enhances students' reading comprehension, executive functioning, organization, study skills, and academic confidence, all while promoting effective stress regulation.
Wellness Experiences
Workshops, guided mindfulness sessions, community wellness events, and speaking engagements designed to help individuals reconnect with themselves and prioritize their well-being through targeted mindfulness practices.
Why This Work Matters
Mental wellness isn't just important—it's essential. In a world that often encourages people to push through stress and overwhelm, I believe everyone deserves opportunities to cultivate emotional awareness, pause, reflect, breathe, and reconnect with what matters most. Whether you're a student navigating academic challenges, an educator supporting others, or someone simply seeking healthier mindfulness practices to manage life's demands, you don't have to do it alone. Together, we can create space for preventative mental wellness, growth, healing, and meaningful change.
