Ethereal Flow Kids
Mindfulness-inspired after-school clubs rooted in nature and imagination
Wellbeing characters across each six-week block
How the ASC programme works
Across each six-week block, children are introduced to three friendly wellbeing characters who gently guide the sessions.
For the first six-week block, the characters are:
- Tilly the Turtle – breathwork for calm and grounding
- Bella the Butterfly – noticing feelings and allowing them to move
- Daisy the Dragon – building confidence and inner strength
Each character appears twice across the block, allowing familiarity, repetition, and integration. This helps children feel comfortable with the stories and practices, and supports learning in a way that feels natural, unpressured, and enjoyable.
Over time, as children move through different six-week blocks, they are gently introduced to a wider range of wellbeing characters. Across the programme, children get to know 18 different characters, each linked to simple breathing techniques and age-appropriate tools for emotional regulation and wellbeing.
The characters make learning these skills fun, imaginative, and memorable. Through stories, play, movement, and creativity, children build a toolkit they can carry with them — learning how to pause, breathe, notice their feelings, and gently self-regulate in everyday moments.
This approach empowers all children to develop emotional awareness, confidence, and self-regulation in a way that feels positive, supportive, and enjoyable.

About Lucy
Created and led by Lucy
Ethereal Flow Kids is created and delivered by me, Lucy — a qualified primary school teacher with over 13 years’ experience working with children in school settings.
During my career, I’ve taught across a wide range of ages and roles, including working internationally and holding the position of Head of Pre-Prep, where I was responsible not only for teaching, but for the wellbeing, development, and early learning experiences of young children as a whole.
Working in leadership deepened my understanding of how children learn and regulate within busy school environments, and how essential it is to create spaces that feel calm, safe, and developmentally supportive — especially for younger children.
Alongside my teaching career, I’ve spent many years studying mindfulness, breathwork, and the science behind how children’s brains and nervous systems respond to rhythm, repetition, imagination, and calm. This understanding informs every Ethereal Flow Kids session, from the gentle pacing and familiar structure, to the use of stories, breathing, and creative activities that help children feel settled and supported.
Ethereal Flow Kids brings together my professional experience in schools, my leadership background, and my neuroscience-informed approach to wellbeing. The sessions are intentionally designed to work with children’s natural rhythms, offering calm, creativity, and connection in a way that feels natural and enjoyable.
I lead each session with warmth, care, and structure, creating an environment where children feel safe to arrive exactly as they are.
