An empowered, regulated parent who can hold space for their own experience and their child’s simultaneously is a profound gift that sets the stage for a resilient and strong relationship in which we feel seen, acknowledged, and nurtured.

The role of being a parent is one of the hardest ones out there. There is no rule book or “how to” book that can capture the nuance of this ever evolving relationship with not only your child, but yourself. It further becomes complicated as many of us carry old wounds from different chapters of our lives, our current pain patterns, and levels of stress. These wounds have a way of patterning themselves in how we show up as parents, how we care for ourselves, and how we respond in times of stress.

I support parents in learning the skills they need to care for their body and nervous system, and recognize what their child’s nervous system may need. This means that you know how to listen to your body and care for yourself in a way that makes you feel supported in nurturing the well being for yourself and your child. Ultimately, when parents know how to regulate themselves they can then best support their children in co-regulation.

What to expect during a session:

• We have flexibility to design a therapy experience that provides an effective and adaptable approach to meet your individual needs as a parent or the needs of a parent-child relationship. We have flexibility to meet just 1:1 (just the adults), or we could intermittently have dyad sessions with you and your child if you choose.  

• This is a highly collaborative and dynamic process. There are equal parts of discussion, moving, and exploring during our sessions. Curiosity and collaboration are always central themes.

• There will always be space held to share, reflect, and process as you feel comfortable. These are your sessions and it’s important you get what you need from them.

• Together, we look at patterns of how we respond internally (interoception, bracing, breath holding, excessive tension) and externally (voice, posture, engagement) and how they show up or take shape in our daily lives.

• We’ll explore skills that help you listen to your body and how to navigate responding to your child’s.

• We’ll explore embodiment practices that support down-shifting your nervous system, connect and feel grounded in your body.

• Interactive education to approach your child’s nervous system needs with insight and understanding.

Therapy Outcomes:

• Feeling resourced to respond to your body’s needs and your child’s 

• Feeling of being grounded and more present

• Feel less reactive and more responsive

• Gain confidence in knowing you have the tools to manage stress, pain, and anxiety

• Able to shift between states (have the bandwidth to shift from intensity into ease and rest)

• Experience co-regulation within your family with greater ease

• Learn how to reset and reconnect with yourself and your child

*If your child is eligible and receives services from CLTS (Children’s Long Term Support Program), you may be able to access funding support for my services through this resource. I am a provider of “family/unpaid caregiver support” through this program. Of course, if you are a parent seeking my support and are not a recipient of CLTS, you can absolutely still access this service but it is self-funded.
