Meet Jean Lawler
Jean Lawler is a long-time classroom teacher and educator with Masters Degrees from both Lesley and Harvard Universities. She has focused the last 20+ years in educational publishing, helping to create a wide variety of curriculum products (books, CDs, DVDs, websites).
When she moved to the North Shore 5 years ago, she built a big veggie garden and lotsa flower gardens in her backyard, started spending a lot of time at Joppa Flats (Mass Audubon) and Plum Island (the ocean), and got involved in local yoga and tai chi classes.
Over the course of the next 4 years, she realized what an incredible influence these 3 activities were having on her peace of mind. As a lifelong educator, her thoughts went instantly to children: what if kids could learn to feel this sense of calm and contentment? So Terrapeutics was born.
Over the last several years, Jean has hiked coast-to-coast across England, walked across hot coals, had her aura photographed, and went two years without eating red meat. Currently, she hikes the forests and walks the beach all year long, digs in the dirt as often as possible, and practices yoga regularly.
She is thrilled to finally be sharing her story online.
Thanks to my son, Mark, who “caught my dream” and who inspires and encourages me daily. Oh, yeah, and does all my electronic support!!
And thanks to my dear friend, Corinne, who listened to my early musings and was there the moment everything fell into place and offered “terrapeutics” as a moniker.

It is wonderful to see what can happen when you "Wish Upon a Star". I know the children will see things they never dreamed of.

Thank you so much for your kind note. Please do keep checking the site as I plan to get some new articles up this spring. This way of thinking about children and learning continues to really fascinate me -- and you, I guess! I really appreciate your interest.

Great blog post. You are so right about forgetting all the good moments when we are "stuck in the muck" of the bad. Thanks for the reminder. Sounds like you are offering your clients a true gift with that advice.
