• Using so-called mind-body practices to promote youths' well-being: Reflections on therapeutic outcomes, strategies, and processes (2016) · International Journal of School & Educational Psychology · cited 12× · doi

• Uncovering new insights through young children's voices: A qualitative research meta‐synthesis on practicing mindfulness at school (2026) · Review of Education · doi

  Our research question emerged as a result of a gap in the literature about the importance of young children as the experts in their own lives, and the absence of a collective understanding about their first‐hand perspectives about mindfulness practices in school.
