About Us

I was a scared and worried little kid for as long as I can remember.

At eight, a psychologist gave me real tools. Meditation designed for a child's nervous system. It changed everything.

When I had my daughter, I wanted to give her the same gift. I looked for something screen free that could teach a child to find their own calm. It didn't exist.

We launched in 2020.

We donate companions to children who need them most. That's not a campaign. It's how we've always worked.

I still live in Southern California with my two kids. I still record the meditations. And I still believe the moment before sleep is when children are most open — to connection, to calm, to being carried somewhere safe.
