Philippa interviews Marneta Viegas, founder of Relax Kids, which began 25 years ago as the UK’s first company offering children’s relaxation and mental health tools. Marneta shares her performing arts background, years as a children’s entertainer and mime performer, and how she noticed children increasingly struggled to sit still, listen, and concentrate. A breakthrough came when she introduced visualisation at parties and began transforming fairy stories into meditations, leading to her first book and later books and audio resources. She describes the Relax Kids seven-step method—move, play, stretch, feel, breathe, believe, relax—developed through classes in homes, schools, and community settings, later linked to the chakra system. Growth accelerated through coach training, media coverage, and a Dragons’ Den appearance that drove major sales, with reported impact in schools, including reduced exclusions.
