Tina Macpherson

Hello!

I’m Tina, the owner of Busy Minds Ed. for the Guelph, Waterloo and surrounding regions. My wonderful family and I are proud to call Guelph our home, acknowledging and respecting the land that we call home is the traditional territories of the Attiwonderonk and Haudenosuanee First Nations. This beautiful land is a part of the treaty lands and territories with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.

For nearly two-decades I have worked in educational support for two large Ontario Universities, receiving my Hons. BA as a mature student in 2022, and also now a published author! My passion advocating for children’s mental health and wellbeing has always been present, however it developed further after the birth of my son in 2011. I am a proud mother of an amazing teenage boy, who’s neurodiversity has allowed me to grow as a person and acquire a deeper level of understanding that learning and growth come in all shapes and sizes. As an Autism parent and advocate, I feel that this wonderful venture can benefit not only our neuro-diverse kiddos, but all the children in our area.

Although my personal journey with yoga and mindfulness is quite recent, I love how yoga puts my mind at ease. In the past, I had suffered through depression and anxiety, however the positive change and peace that Yoga has brought to my life is profound. You are never too old (or young) to try something new! I look forward to sharing this journey with our communities, and I am proud to be part of this positive change.

Hope you meet you in person at one of our future events!

Amy

My name is Amy Parsons. Mother to three kiddos, family based photographer, Islander, and yoga teacher! 

I completed my first yoga training with Modo Yoga in Montreal in the fall of 2010 and went on to do my Modo Flow training in Halifax a few years later. I taught full time for several years before changing directions and operating a successful photography business here on the Island. I am a people person and feel as though my background of teaching yoga, and photographing families with young children will serve me well in this new adventure. I've been told that I make my clients/students feel comfortable and I can't wait to bring that skill with me to Little Yogis. 

While I absolutely LOVE photographing all of the beautiful babies and families on PEI (and will continue to do so), I look forward to getting back to my roots in the yoga community. The mental health crisis is real, and I see symptoms within my own family which has led me here! Children need to learn to move their bodies, self regulate, and be mindful of their thoughts/actions. I strongly believe that our children model OUR behaviour and I want to be the change within my own family. I can't wait to help Island kiddos develop healthier habits and mindfulness with the incredible Little Yogis/Busy Minds program.
