A creative experience where kids explore WHAT IT MEANS TO BE well in their mind, body, and life.
Kids are growing up in a world that rarely slows down.
Screens. Schedules. School. Social pressure. Big emotions. Constant stimulation.
They’re learning how to do more and keep up.
But are they learning how to feel well?
How to slow down.
How to recognize what they need.
How to care for themselves.
How to make intentional choices that support the life they want to live.
That’s Root & Bloom.
A PLACE TO SLOW DOWN & GROW
Each week, kids step away from the noise and into a creative space to make, notice, explore, and connect.
We’ll weave together:
ART — creating every week as a way to express emotions, explore and simply enjoy being creative.
NATURE — slowing down, getting outside, noticing beauty, and connecting with the world around us.
MINDFULNESS — learning ways to pause, ground, reset, and become more aware of what’s happening inside.
EMOTIONAL WELLBEING — understanding feelings and discovering what helps us feel calm, connected and supported.
INTENTIONAL LIVING — exploring how the foods we eat, how we move, rest, play, connect, create and spend our time all contribute to how we feel.
And throughout the experience, we’ll grow something.
Because sometimes the best way to understand growth is to experience it.
We’ll plant.
We’ll tend.
We’ll wait.
We’ll notice.
We’ll celebrate.
And we’ll discover that growth takes care, patience, intention…and time.
Hello, I’m so glad you’re here!
I'm Kayla Helenske, a Nationally Registered Art Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Holistic Wellness Coach and Mom of 4.
With over 15 years of experience in art therapy and mindfulness techniques designed to support emotional growth in children. I’ve seen firsthand the difference these practices make in the lives of preteens, and I’m deeply committed to providing a safe, nurturing space where your child can thrive emotionally.
I developed Root & Bloom after recognizing the overwhelming stress, anxiety and social pressure that preteens face today. Through art, mindfulness, lifestyle and open conversations, I’ve helped hundreds of preteens and kids develop the emotional tools they need to navigate their challenges and shine with confidence. Now, I want to bring this transformational program to your child.
Here’s what your child will gain in our weekly group sessions...
>> Manage Stress and Anxiousness- They will learn practical tools and creative techniques to understand and navigate overwhelming emotions with ease.
>> Build Confidence and Self-Worth- Your child will feel stronger in their thoughts about them self, overcome self-doubt, and embrace who they truly are.
>> Navigate Friendships and Social Challenges- they’ll be equipped with skills to resolve conflicts, form meaningful connections, and handle peer stressors.
>> Express Emotions in Healthy Ways- through art and guided mindfulness activities, your child will learn how to process and communicate their feelings effectively and learn more about how their lifestyle impacts their emotional wellbeing.
Imagine…
Your child beginning to recognize what helps them feel calm when the world feels so overwhelming.
Imagine them learning that caring for themselves isn’t something they do after everything else is done. It can be part of how they live.
That’s the mindset shift we offer in Root & Bloom.
Support Your CHild’s Emotional Growth, Creativity and Connection All in One Place
When you enroll in Root & BLoom, your Child will receive:
>> Weekly 45 Minute Virtual Group Meeting that teaches your child exactly HOW to be more grounded, intentional, creative and WHY it's so important to confidently know what they need to feel well.
We do this by:
>> Expressive Art Experiences where your child unlocks self-expression, releases emotions and builds confidence
>> Nature-Inspired Experiences that allow them to tend, observe and learn from throughout the program
>> Mindfulness Practices: Calming techniques for her to reduce stress + anxiousness and build emotional resilience
>> A Fresh Perspective on Intentional Living: including how food, movement, rest, creativity, connection, and time outside can shape how we feel.
>> A Small Community of Kids : A group of kids going through similar challenges, learning, creating, exploring and growing together in a safe, judgment-free space.
>> Professional Guidance: Expert-led coaching sessions with Kayla with over 15 years of experience in helping preteens thrive socially and emotionally and over 20 years of teaching art.

CHOOSE THE PLAN THAT'S BEST FOR YOUR FAMILY
The challenge with 1:1 client work is that I can only serve a small amount of preteens and limited time to give parents the vital tools to implement at home. I knew more families could benefit from what I was teaching. That's why I developed my self-paced courses and live clubs such as Root & Bloom and if you join us, I'd love to help you, too.
This online social, emotional and life skills coaching opportunity gives your child the same essential skills and tools I use with my individual clients at the fraction of the cost.

There’s no required timeline. Many kids benefit most when they’re able to stay long enough to build trust, confidence, and a sense of belonging, but the right length of time is different for every child.
The club is designed as ongoing support rather than a short-term program. Emotional growth, confidence, and self-expression happen gradually, especially during the preteen years. Staying in the club allows your child to deepen skills, feel more comfortable expressing them self, and continue growing as new social and emotional challenges naturally arise.
That said, families are always encouraged to check in and reassess as their child’s needs evolve. The goal is for this to feel supportive and empowering, not like a commitment she has to push through.
-
Because this is a monthly club membership, reimbursements or makeup classes aren’t offered for missed sessions. The membership is designed to support consistency, flexibility, and ease. Members are paying for access to the experience as a whole, not individual classes.
Classes are intentionally created to stand alone while still building over time, so there’s no pressure to “catch up” if life gets busy. This allows members to show up when they can, without guilt or falling behind.
