About Us
Welcome to Young, Wild and Mindful, where we create mindfulness tools to nurture childrens' emotional wellbeing and mental health.
We believe all children have a unique magic within them and are wiser than we sometimes give them credit for. We hope to empower them to follow their instincts and inner voice, so they can express themselves and trust in their ability to navigate challenges.

I´m Liz, the human behind our products! I am a mum of two, a Primary School Teacher of 11 years and I also hold a bachelors degree in Psychology. The combination of Psychology, Teaching and Parenting, along with the belief that we learn and grow best when we first feel safe, loved and valued, has been the perfect recipe to bring Young, Wild and Mindful to life! My experiences in these settings is at the heart of everything I create.

Our first product, our Positive Affirmation Cards for Kids, were born out of a desire to help children build a positive internal dialogue that will help them to have a positive mindset through the ups and downs of life. I want to inspire children to view themselves as smart, strong and capable. The cards were also inspired by my family´s challenge where our littlest babe needed life-saving surgery, and positive affirmations became a key part of our healing moving forward.
Understanding the emotional challenges that come with being a teenager, I have also created some beautiful journaling tools to encourage connection and self-reflection, which are positive practices that can offer comfort and guidance to young people that may feel lost and unsure in their ever-changing world.

We are extremely passionate about protecting our beautiful planet and limiting our footprint as a business, and so all items we create are made from quality materials and designed to last.
Our card sets and note pads are printed locally in VIC, Australia, with our cards using high quality 350gsm card stock. Our recycled cotton card bags are also locally sourced, with natural imperfections that add to their eco-friendly charm. When packaging items we have a zero plastic policy, using cardboard, tissue paper, twine and both home-compostable mailers and stickers.
