Kathy F.
“We were so excited to introduce our Yoga Calm® workshop participants to the BE BUDDY™. Immediately they were used for our guided relaxation section. Staff LOVED them and we, along with them, feel they are a beautiful fun way to engage youth in breathwork, movement, and rest. The BE BUDDY™ provides the weight and scent that allow the eyes to rest. And when our eyes are able to soften it allows the brain/body to move out of stress. Thank you, Stephanie, for your creativity and belief in youth wellness.”

“My name is Georgie and I have three kids. We lead very busy lives with activities and scramble on most days with some overscheduling. I’ve tried to help my kids in the past by guided nose-mouth breathing, which works, but it wouldn’t last longer than a minute. After trying the BE Buddy™ it was apparent that this lovely lavender scented cutie is a useful tool! It helps them focus on the deep belly breaths, and focus more on a mindfulness routine. They like to keep them on their nightstands as a daily reminder to check in with themselves. I have seen this help offset their daily stresses, and would recommend them to anyone with busy lives like ours.”

“We received our BE Buddies in the mail this morning and they are AMAZING! Thank you so much. My kids have each chosen their favourites and are so in love with them. My 6-year-old has been carrying his around all day telling me he's taking it to bed with him tonight, and my 2-year-old put hers straight into her calm down space so she can use it later. It was very sweet. Well done on creating such a brilliant product, I have no doubt we're going to be using them a lot!!”

"This was a gift for my niece. Her mom said her two daughters took the toy and put it in their "special toys area." so I am guessing they liked it! The mom also stated that she really enjoyed the lavender scent and it helped her out, too. Also, the seller is great and responsive."
Julia

"I bought this for my three-year-old’s calm-down corner. As soon as it arrived she loved it! The smell, textures, durability, and fun design are great. A great addition to any relaxation corner for busy little people."
Jennifer
"So darn cute! Great quality, good price and arrived right on time. All the buddies are so cute but my son loves pigs and Hamm is going to make a great addition to the family! Amazing gift idea for those looking to gift a cute stress reliever for children. And it smells amazing, too :)"
Alena
