Boxing & Brainz
A movement-based therapeutic approach designed to help: Build Confidence, Improve focus, & Regulate Emotions for Kidz
What Is Boxing & Brainz?
Boxing & Brainz is a mindful boxing therapy that blends controlled boxing movements with mindfulness practices to help children develop emotional regulation, focus, confidence, and self-awareness.
What Is Mindful Boxing Therapy?
This is not combat boxing. Instead, we use intentional movement, breathwork, rhythm, and guided reflection to give children healthy tools to release stress, build resilience, and strengthen their mind-body connection.
Our approach supports children who may experience:
● Difficulty focusing or managing emotions
● Anxiety, stress, or big feelings
● Low confidence or frustration
● A need for structured physical expression
● A desire to turn "impulse" into "intention" through disciplined, rhythmic movement that sharpens executive function.
Why Parents Choose Mindful Boxing Therapy
✔ Encourages emotional regulation and impulse control
✔ Improves focus, listening skills, and body awareness
✔ Builds confidence in a positive, non-competitive way
✔ Supports mental wellness through movement
✔ Provides a safe outlet for stress and energy
Every session is guided with intention, empathy, and age-appropriate structure.

Client Reviews
"My daughter was dreading school after months of being bullied, and her confidence was at an all-time low. After working with Dr. Somerville, I watched her stand taller, speak up more, and believe in herself again."
— Parent of a 10-year-old
"Our 9-year-old was having a hard time focusing in class because of ADHD. The Boxing and Brainz sessions gave him a structured way to move his body while learning self-control and focus. His teacher has noticed fewer disruptions."
— Parent of a 9-year-old
"After our family split, my daughter was holding in a lot of sadness and anger. The in-home sessions helped her release those feelings in a safe way. She tells me she feels 'stronger in her heart' because of this program."
— Parent of an 11-year-old
Meet Dr. Somerville
Dr. Somerville holds a Doctorate in Sports & Performance Psychology and a Master's in School Counseling, combining advanced training in how people think and perform with hands-on experience working in schools. She is also a NASM-Certified Personal Trainer, with a strong understanding of how movement — especially non-contact boxing — supports children's mental and emotional health.
As a performance coach and school counselor, Dr. Somerville specializes in helping children build confidence, resilience, and mental toughness through a unique integration of mindset coaching, non-contact boxing, and physical fitness. Her approach is trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate, and grounded in over a decade of experience.
When your child trains with her, they're not just getting a coach. They're gaining a mentor, a safe space, and a mindset — and skill set — built to handle stress, bounce back from setbacks, and grow with confidence.
