Tenille Bentley is the founder of The Emotional Literacy & Mindfulness Academy for Kids, Children’s Author and Award Winning Community Leader with a passion for supporting our next generation with the tools she wishes she could have had access to as a child.
As a child she suffered severe anxiety and emotional traumas as well as bullying which left her feeling isolated, and unable to understand why she was feeling the way she did.
However, emotional intelligence for kids wasn’t in the narrative in her generation.
Today, we have evolved, science has caught up and we now understand the important role emotional intelligence for children plays in our every day lives.
She didn’t know how to express her emotions, or why she felt these big emotions as a kid.
So, she searched high and low, studied, spent thousands on courses until she arrived at a place where she knew how to potentially change the trajectory of a child’s growing years for the positive.
After using these tools to turn her own life around she went on to build a multi million dollar company in under 2 years, a global charity that touched the lives of more than 30K children in 5 different countries.
She was recognised by the Australian Prime Minister with ‘The Australian Leadership Award’ which is only presented to 20 people in Australia. She was awarded the ‘Australian Financial Review Top 100 Australia’s Women of Influence’, State Finalist in the ‘Telstra Business Woman of the Year’, inducted into the Western Australian Women’s Hall of Fame by The Governor and awarded the Top 3 Australian Institute of Management Excellence Awards.
She has seen so many exhausted parents stress over what they can do to manage the big emotions that their children face, and not feeling like they have tools to help support and create a balanced home life.

Sarah Housley is a kinesiologist, wellness mentor, workshop instructor and the founder of Adventurous Hearts.
She is deeply passionate about inspiring people to reconnect with their authentic nature and unique creative expression, and supports people to find balance and freedom in their physical, mental and emotional health.
Her passion for natural medicine lead her to study naturopathy, where she discovered the powerful physiological effect of thoughts and emotions on the human body.

Which is why Emotional Intelligence for Kids is so vital to her offering.
To help restore the balance, Sarah has made it her primary mission to inspire children to embrace their uniqueness and support them to become courageously authentic, compassionate, creative, sovereign adults who thrive on their individual journeys while living in harmony with nature and their local and wider community.
