Meet the Founder
Michelle Faber is the founder behind Busy Minds Ed,
a passionate advocate for children’s mental health, and a
dedicated educator. Her journey began in 2019 when inspired
by her own experiences with anxiety and depression, she set
out to create a positive change for children.
Michelle’s personal challenges ignited a deep-seated
commitment to ensuring that young minds receive the tools
they need to thrive emotionally and physically.
Little Yogis Academy was her initial endeavour, a program
rooted in mindfulness and movement, which quickly gained
recognition for its impact on children’s well-being.
As the demand for their transformative programs continued
to grow, Michelle recognized the need to expand their
programming. In 2023, Little Yogis Academy evolved into Busy
Minds Ed, a name that better encapsulated their diverse
offerings and the holistic approach to child development.
Today, Michelle’s dedication to nurturing bright,
resilient, and happy young minds remains at the heart of Busy
Minds Ed’s mission. She continues to inspire children and
families with her passion for movement, mindfulness, and the
power of positive change.
