Dr. Imani Ma'at-Kynes

I offer a unique and perfect blend of science, language arts, creativity and fun that schools and youth-serving organizations need when designing wellness education programs for their students. The children and teen's health crisis has exploded over the years. Childhood obesity for example has quadrupled in one generation. in the early 1970s approximately 5.2% of children were obese. in 2026 that percentage has increased to approximately 21.1% according to the CDC. Obesity leads to a number of health issues and diseases parallel to adults: including but not limited to type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea depression and anxiety; social stigma and bullying I have assisted schools and other organizations in creating clear health education goals as the creator of the Healthy Haiku Method (TM), an award-winning educational framework and author of four Healthy Haiku books, including the most recent two: Healthy Haiku 3: How to Fight Childhood Obesity One Poem at a Time; and Educating the Incarcerated: Facilitating Opportunities for Growth and Understanding. Every engagement is designed around customized assessment, measurable outcomes, practical implementation, and long-term organizational improvement—not one-size-fits-all training. If you want someone who can help to create health education programs that can address the growinig obesity problem among youth as well as other health challenges by promoting wellness and prevention information in a fun and easy way, you definietly want to reach out to me.
