Just weeks after coming face to face with her daughter's teenage killers, she has stepped back into the classroom in a quest to make children kinder.
Her transgender daughter Brianna was stabbed to death by two 15-year-olds, a devastating hate crime which reverberated around the globe.
But with sadistic Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie.
Ratcliffe behind bars, she is trying to make kids' lives better rather than hiding away. She's campaigning to
have mindfulness sessions made part of the national curriculum.
It comes from a steadfast belief it could stop other youngsters from turning to violence.
And always in her thoughts is Brianna, who she lost at just 16.
Esther, 37, told us: "I don't know if it would have stopped Brianna's murder, but what I do know is that if children are taught from a young age to have empathy and selfcompassion they will be happier and feel better about themselves.
"Our lives are a reflection of what's going on in our minds, so if young people are feeling happy and settled inside they will emit that in their daily lives.
"The pressures of modern-day society are immense, so if we get mindfulness into schools, we can provide young people with coping strategies that they can use in their school years and the rest of their lives."
Esther, of Warrington, Cheshire, spelled out her plans on a visit to Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Primary in nearby Liverpool on Thursday.
Here pupils aged four to 11 have benefited from weekly mindfulness lessons for five years.
Joining a class of Year 2 pupils, Esther learned more about how the practice can support children to feel happier and healthier.
