Meet Shalina

Comfortable with pets
Has a car

I am a mother of six (adults) and former co-owner/instructor of a martial arts school for 10+ years, leading primarily children's programs. I believe children are people - learning to manage big emotions in a big world - and they need calm, regulated adults to guide them. *My approach is relationship-first. I lead with presence, clear communication, and natural consequences appropriate to each child's age and development. *For young children, I prioritize nature, movement, stories, music, practical life skills, and reasonable expectations. For older kids, I incorporate physical activity, problem-solving, leadership skills, and thoughtful questions that build confidence and self-awareness. *I value partnership with families who believe in teamwork, clear communication, and a village mindset. Comfortable with neurodivergent and homeschool families. I am an animal lover & owner and Nature enthusiast.
