Bohemian Academics

Welcome to Bohemian Academics.

My name is Carmen Andrea Harris.

Bohemian Academics began the first time I taught my oldest daughter to read at age three - on the floor of our living room, surrounded by an alphabet floor puzzle, flash cards, homemade index cards, and love. I didn’t know then that those quiet moments would plant the seeds of a movement.

Rooted in my background as an educator, Bohemian Academics originally focused on early literacy. But everything shifted in 2020, when I made the decision to homeschool my daughters full time. Like so many families, we stepped out of the system - not just because of circumstance, but because many of us felt the gentle nudge of Holy Spirit to do so. Deep down our souls craved something more intentional, more connected, and more aligned with how children truly learn and grow.

Then came another layer of purpose. In 2018, I lost my husband — the father of my girls — and my entire world was reshaped. I walked through deep grief with my children in my arms, determined to help them heal, while trying to hold space for my own sorrow. That journey led me to pursue certification as a grief counselor and inner healing professional in 2022 — so I could support not just academic growth, but emotional healing for other women navigating loss, transition, and trauma.

Bohemian Academics is now a sacred blend of all of those callings:

Home education that honors the whole child
Grief-informed support for families living through change
Digital learning grounded in peace, purpose, and presence

Whether you’re a new homeschooler, a mother rebuilding after grief, or a woman trying to do both — I created this space for you.

Because learning and healing don’t have to live in separate boxes.

They can happen side by side, in your living room, at your kitchen table, and in the quiet moments in between.

Welcome to where learning meets soul.

I’m so glad you’re here.

Grief Counseling & Emotional Wellness for Children

Supporting Young Hearts Ages 5–17

When a child or teen experiences loss—whether it’s the death of a loved one, the divorce of parents, a major life transition, or emotional disconnection—they often struggle to find the words to express their pain.

As a Certified Grief Counseling, Inner Healing Certified Professional, and former teacher, I have created a safe, nurturing space where young people are gently supported through the journey of grief, inner healing, and emotional wellness.

Because Grief Looks Different on Every Child

Children and teens process grief in unique ways. Some may act out. Others withdraw. Many can’t articulate what they’re feeling at all. My age-appropriate approach meets them exactly where they are—with empathy, creativity, and care.

Using therapeutic conversation, expressive activities (like art, storytelling, and play), and trauma-sensitive techniques, I help children:

Understand and express their emotions in healthy ways
Feel seen, heard, and validated in their experience
Learn coping skills and calming strategies
Rebuild a sense of hope, safety, and connection

What I Offer

I work with children and teens ages 5 to 17 in private virtual sessions, designed to build trust and provide meaningful emotional breakthrough.

Whether your child has experienced the death of a loved one, divorce in the family, illness, or other life disruptions, I am here to walk with them—gently and intentionally—toward healing.

A Trusted Partner for Parents and Caregivers

I understand personally how difficult it can be to watch your child hurt emotionally due to loss.

That’s why I partner with parents every step of the way, offering guidance, compassion, and professional insight without judgment.

“Grief is not a problem to be solved, but a sacred journey to be supported.”
