About Super Chill
The Super Chill Foundation focuses on children’s mental health in the classroom and beyond.
Our Vision
In today’s fast-paced society, our children’s emotional and mental well-being is under pressure. In fact, up to 40% of primary school children experience stress-related symptoms such as anxiety, moodiness and difficulty focusing. Stress makes it more challenging to learn and concentrate at school and in life.
As children grow up in this competitive, globalised world, skills such as resilience, empathy, self-awareness and creative thinking are in high demand. That’s why Super Chill advocates for a new generation of mentally and emotionally balanced children who can handle everything that comes their way. Our app gives children the tools to be well prepared for a successful future.
Our mission
At Super Chill, we believe that a happy teacher is a super teacher. It’s well known that primary school educators experience enormous pressure to meet intense demands. Current statistics show that 25% of teachers struggle with chronic stress.
We care about the well-being of both teachers and students. So while aiming to help pupils, we also want to help reduce workload stress for teachers at the same time.
At Super Chill, we’re on a mission to transform primary education and create classrooms where mental health comes first. But we can not do this alone. That’s why we also inspire like-minded parents, teachers, mentors and organisations and encourage them to take action.
Our Goal
Toxic stress has no place in the classroom! At Super Chill, we believe that carefree children perform better. We want to build a future without burnout, depression or overworked young adults.
Our goal is to offer younger generations simple and effective tools to become more balanced, resilient and well prepared for their future. We aim to reach at least 2 million children globally!
We believe that with the right mental health tools and mindful exercises, children around the world can grow up to become balanced, conscious and successful adults.

Our Founders
Founded in Amsterdam, Super Chill is an initiative of Rituals Cosmetics and De Nieuwe Yogaschool. Johan Noorloos, the owner of De Nieuwe Yogaschool, worked as a teacher in primary education and personally experienced the overwhelming pressure that young students and teachers face daily. He noticed the limiting effects that toxic stress has on children. Raymond Cloosterman, the owner of Rituals, has been focusing on inner peace and self-awareness for many years.
Together, Johan and Raymond wanted to offer new generations valuable tools that combine the power of yoga, mindfulness and meditation.
