About Us
Welcome to Young, Wild and Mindful. We were born out of a desire to nurture children's emotional wellbeing and mental health through bright, positive items.
Our mission is to create a range of tools that help young people to cultivate a positive life, learn mindful skills to draw upon, and encourage connection.

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 trust their inner voice and instincts, so they can live confidently and navigate challenges with ease.
Our products are designed to help children organically incorporate mindful moments into their everyday world, allowing opportunities to build self-belief in a fun, subtle way.

Liz, our founder, has been a Primary School Teacher for 11 years and also holds a bachelors degree in Psychology. She is a mum of two, and with a family history of mental health struggles, has made it her purpose to create tools to improve children’s lives, with the hope they will lead a life of self-love and resilience.
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!
✿
Our first product, our Positive Affirmation Cards for Kids, were inspired by Liz and her family’s own recent challenge where their littlest babe needed life-saving surgery, and using positive affirmations were a key tool in helping them through.
Liz also knows what it’s like to be a struggling teenager, so our products that are aimed at teens have been thoroughly thought-out and created to support those that may feel a little lost and unsure in their ever-changing world.

Sustainability
We aim to limit our impact on our beautiful planet. Everything we create is purposeful yet aesthetically pleasing, 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 card bags are made from organic cotton, and are also sourced locally in VIC, Australia. The bags may come with slight, organic imperfections but we believe that just adds to their eco-friendly charm.
When packaging items we have a zero plastic policy, using cardboard, tissue paper, twine and home-compostable mailers.

We hope you love what we have created as much as we do.
