_{I’m Katie Mathews}

A wife, mom of two, certified mindfulness practitioner, and certified educator in Tech Addiction & Digital Health for Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults. I founded Basecamp for Life to make mindfulness accessible, impactful, and part of everyday life—for children and the adults who guide them.

 My journey began early—practicing visualization at 2.5 and meditating by age 8 after facing significant health challenges. These experiences taught me that mindfulness isn’t just for adults in crisis—it’s a lifelong gift we can give our children from the start.

Through customized programs for early childhood centers, workshops for educators and athletic coaches, parent trainings, and direct-to-kid programs, we empower every person we work with to integrate mindfulness into real life—not as another task on the list, but as part of the way they live, lead, and connect.

Because when the infrastructure of wellness is in place, both kids and the adults who guide them can thrive—no matter what mountain lies ahead.
