A Note from the Founder

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.

"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." – Wayne Dyer

We have absolutely loved Miss Katie’s Little Minds Winter Enrichment! My daughter looks forward to each session and has learned so many valuable tools for breathing, visualization, and staying calm in such practical, easy-to-understand ways. It’s been amazing to see her come home from class and teach us how to incorporate mindfulness into our own daily routines. I can't say enough wonderful things about this class and how it has positively impacted my 4-year-old. Miss Katie’s gentle and thoughtful approach has made such a difference, and we are so grateful!
