How It Works
Small steps, shared moments
Whether things feel calm or chaotic, the approach is the same:
1. Pick a moment
Before, after or during transitions, or when things start to feel overwhelming
2. Choose a play prompt
Invite play, curiosity or quiet focus, no screens, no pressure
3. Play small or play big, your pace
A few minutes of calm play, reading, movement or imagination. Adapt it to energy, mood and attention.
No performance. No rigid routines. Just simple play that meets people where they are.

About Mindful Studio
Hi, I’m Theo, founder, design thinker, product strategist and builder.
For over 15 years, I’ve worked with global teams designing products and platforms at scale, supported by an ongoing mindfulness practice. Today, I apply the same principles across everyday life: mind (emotional regulation), body (strength and discipline) and world (the systems that shape behaviour).
Mindful Studio translates proven practices from work, life and parenting into simple tools people can actually use. They’ve helped me support individuals, lead teams through complexity and grow as a parent, showing that calm, focus and trust are skills you can practice.
“I aspire to inspire, make waves and move mountains.”
Experience
