What we’re about
An international group dedicated to open discussions aimed at reducing stress so we can show up for ourselves and our children from a place of love rather than stress—something more important now than ever.
All workshops and talks are based on an innovative framework that alleviates parental stress through evidence-based techniques, integrating both Eastern and Western health-promoting practices. These sessions are enhanced with compassion, fun, and humor.
Your host is an American board-certified occupational therapist from Pittsburgh, currently living in Belgium with her two boys, cats, and tortoise. She offers workshops from the perspective of a parent managing neurodiversity mindfully, a professional who has worked with thousands of children and families worldwide, and someone passionate about helping others while having fun—because the world could use more love, light, and joy.
JOIN US for this fun yet informative and transformative 90-minute live online workshop to gain the knowledge and tools to reset your nervous system. Be that model to your child on how to balance all life moments (the good, bad, and the ones you want to forget) mindfully and in a way that you (and your child) can be proud of (instead of regret and wanting to forget). - We have all been there.
This Workshop is For You if You
✓ Love your kids deeply, but want a new story, one with more moments of connection and less stress
✓ Want to feel less overwhelmed, but don't know where to start
✓ Need support creating new habits and routines that make your life easier and help you and your child to co-regulate from a calm and centered space
✓ Want to support your child's regulation, and know that when you master (and use) the tools and techniques to self-regulate yourself, you can then be that excellent model for your child.
What You'll Receive in This Workshop
✓ Tips on how to build a nervous system foundation so your calm isn't dependent on the external environment (aka your child's behaviour)
✓ 3 essential strategies for self-regulation that can easily be integrated into your life (with no added time commitment)
✓ A 5-minute guided practice to reconnect with your body and breath, and soften the stress response and co-regulate with calm and compassion (for yourself and your child)
✓ How to move from reactivity and regret to responding with patience and presence (while modelling for your child how to tackle life's challenging moments with ease)
✓ Sustainable and immediately actionable tips and tools to enhance your (and your child's) mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
✓ A strong foundation to start your self-regulation success and show your child how to do the same
