Meet The Indigo Teacher

In a cozy house nestled along the bush rainforest, Miranda Altice balances the norm and a contemplative-progressive, expat lifestyle with her husband and two daughters.

During Miranda’s worldly travels, her studies threw her into the fields of marine biology, journalism, progressive education, and complementary therapies, such as yoga. Over the course of these journeys, Miranda became known as The Indigo Teacher for children and educators.

Education has always been a major part of her life path. As an educator for nearly two decades, she believes wholeheartedly in visualizations and manipulative activities to invoke the senses and inspire creativity, movement, and peaceful social interaction. All of this, while providing a gentle but consistent immersion in Social-Emotional Learning (SEL).

As a master naturalist and biologist, The Indigo Teacher’s lessons are mostly science-based and integrate other subjects showing how everything is ultimately connected. Miranda also likes to use lessons as metaphors for social-emotional learning and spiritual growth and awareness. Because we are nurturing the new generation.

By day, Miranda is a science, wellness, and education writer and a marine animal rehab volunteer. You’ll find her steady stream of articles on Family Education Network and STEM Toy Expert, and you’ve most likely seen her ghostwriting articles on wildlife conservation and science-related websites.

When Miranda isn’t rescuing sea turtles or weaving words into gold, she can be found reading fantasy novels, exploring seashores, tending to her orchids, or attempting a kid-friendly science experiment.
