Jacquie Hermans, Facilitator and Joy Guide of the Joyful Kids Collective After-School Program and Summer Camp in Uxbridge for kids 5 - 12 year olds

“Jacquie totally ‘gets’ kids and communicates with them in a fun and playful manner while she helps them master the skills at hand. I was so impressed with Jacquie’s energy and skill that I signed my son up for one-on-one yoga classes with her. He’s really enjoying the classes and is finding it has helped with his anxiety. We’re signed up for summer camp!”
