Chanel Brooks
    Chanel Brooks - Administrative Assistant

    Chanel is a passionate advocate for wellness and wellbeing, with over a decade of experience working with children and teaching yoga. She has been a yoga educator for 12 years and currently teaches Yogic Studies at Colorado Mesa University, where she shares her love of mindfulness and health with college students. Chanel’s journey through early childhood development is deeply personal, having owned and run a yoga studio, Yoga House, during the pandemic, starting just six months after the birth of her son, Mayan. Managing this while raising two small babies sharpened her administrative abilities and deepened her commitment to holistic education.

    As a mother of three, Chanel is deeply rooted in the NFSIS community, where her two children, Lilou and Mayan, thrive, and her youngest is lovingly cared for by Marlene, the school’s nanny. She is inspired daily by the nurturing atmosphere at NFSIS, where she finds joy in watching the children grow. Chanel’s dedication to wellness, early childhood development, and education makes her a perfect fit for the school’s mission, as she wholeheartedly supports both students and staff.
