About the creator
My name is Lisa Vaness, I am a mom of 3 wonderful children, 2 daughters and a son. I currently own a tumbling gym for 5 years in southern New Jersey. Prior to this, I owned an all-star cheerleading gym for 10 years. I have a BA in psychology and have always loved working with and inspiring children.
My personal desire to live a mindful life has led me to develop positive mindset habits which I believe young girls need to live a more confident and happy life.
I initially developed Jump Into Joy to be held in my tumbling gym, but soon realized that girls everywhere need these tools and I wanted this to be presented to as many girls as possible worldwide.
In my own self-discovery process, I became aware of how important these mindset tools would be to learn as a child, as opposed to waiting until adulthood.
​
Although some of the concepts may seem a bit mature, I worked hard to figure out how to teach on a child’s level and have had great success and feedback so far. In order to keep the girls engaged and internalizing the information, it is imperative that they are involved in discussion and physical activities throughout the workshop.
​
If we can get kids to stay true to themselves & remain confident through affirmations, feeling proud of their strengths, practicing gratitude, they will have a better chance at navigating life. My goal is to introduce these positive mindset tools to children (as opposed to adults) in hopes of instilling life-long habits that they will have to face life’s experiences on the offense instead of defense.
I would love to see them have tools in place that are just automatic/natural response tools to keep them calm, content, at peace, in which the result is staying true to themselves.
