Teaching kids & parents how their minds work
I'm Marissa Valenzuela, a certified iheart facilitator. I work with schools, small groups, and families — helping students ages 9–16 and adults build resilience, emotional awareness, and practical tools for life by understanding how their minds work.
Ways to work with me

“There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they're falling in.”
- Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Why Preventative Education Matters
Traditional mental health support arrives after problems have already taken root. The iheart program takes a different approach — giving young people the education they need before difficulties arise, so resilience grows naturally rather than being repaired after the fact.
