Maureen Healy Biography

Maureen Healy is an award-winning author, sought-after speaker, and expert in the world of children’s emotional health and education (K-8). Tal Ben-Shahar said, “Maureen has provided an important antidote to the difficult times that so many of our kids are going through these days” while describing Healy’s new book: "The Happiness Workbook for Kids" (PESI, 2022). Prior books include: "The Emotionally Healthy Child" (New World Library, 2018) with a preface from the Dalai Lama, and "Growing Happy Kids" (HCI Books, 2012), along with a popular blog on Psychology Today’s website.

Unique to Healy is her global experience working with parents and their children from the rural mountains of Mexico to upper Manhattan. Her work has been seen across all media platforms including The New York Times, Fortune, PBS, Scholastic magazine, and AOL’s streaming services, as well as NBC, ABC, and the CW. Her ability to distill complex ideas into simple, proven strategies to create more harmony and emotional health at home, as well as the classroom has been noticed. The Dalai Lama said, “I hope Healy’s book, "The Emotionally Healthy Child", can contribute to more wholesome education for future generations.”

With two decades of experience, Healy has helped countless parents and children through teaching and school development. She’s taught from kindergarten to the college level, volunteered in Asia and worked with Tibetan refugee children in 2007. Her traditional educational credentials include a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Clark University and a PhD program in Clinical Psychology at Fielding Graduate University in Santa Barbara, California. Healy has also studied with scholars and scientists globally on the science of childhood happiness, which has bolstered her joy immensely.

Invite Healy to your school, organization, or conference to reinvigorate your community, empower and inspire them to bounce back better with more resilience, clarity, and intelligence, no matter what life presents them with! (Virtual or in-person).
