Chris Maxwell

Chris Maxwell was a primary school teacher for over 20 years until 2022. For the last 10 years she has had an interest in mindfulness both for adults and children, teaching both individuals and groups. Many of her meditations are available free on the Insight Timer app.

Chris's first book is a picture book for children. Luna is a small black kitten with some big worries... until she tries some special mindful breathing. Children and adults can interact and learn the technique to help when they're scared too.

The second book, Every Day Mindfulness in Schools: An Educators Guide, is a short handbook for educators about teaching mindfulness in the classroom in every day situations. Teachers across the world are facing an overloaded curriculum with little time to squeeze anything else in, even something as important and beneficial as mindfulness. This book is full of time saving but effective techniques that can be incorporated into every day classroom situations.

The next Luna book is coming out soon... this time Luna's worries centre around a new cat flap! It introduces Luna and her followers to another type of mindful breathing. Just as effective as the first but... it's nice to have choice!

Chris lives in Edinburgh, Scotland with the real Luna and her husband!
