About Aunt Sea

Hi, I’m Aunt Sea—an emotional intelligence coach, educator, author, and calm-in-progress human being.

This brand was born out of a deep calling: to help children feel emotionally safe, seen, and supported… and to help the grown-ups who love them learn how to show up without losing themselves.

For years, I worked in classrooms, coaching sessions, and living rooms where big feelings were everywhere—but emotional tools were missing. I saw what happened when kids were labeled instead of understood. I saw the pain that came from yelling, shutting down, or trying to be “good” when their nervous systems were actually crying out for help.

And I also saw what was possible when adults paused, listened, and responded with connection instead of control.

So I created Aunt Sea—a calm, heart-centered space for emotional wisdom.

At the center of it all is the S.A.I.L.™ Method, a gentle, brain-based approach to emotional regulation. It's taught through two lovable brain buddies:

Snappy the Crab, who represents the amygdala (the part of your brain that reacts when you feel unsafe), and

Sage the Turtle, who represents the prefrontal cortex (the part that helps you pause, reflect, and choose).

Together, they help children—and adults—understand what’s happening inside their brain when big feelings hit, and what they can do to respond with compassion, not chaos.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, therapist, or tender-hearted human, Aunt Sea offers tools, stories, and support to help you ride the emotional waves of life with more clarity, courage, and care.

Because emotional intelligence isn’t a luxury—it’s a lighthouse.

“We can’t calm the sea, but we can learn to S.A.I.L.™”
