Are you or your child struggling with focus? Feeling overwhelmed? Struggling with grief and loss? Is it difficult to stay still and remain calm? Does your child have endless energy? So much so that it's difficult for you to keep up and help them co-regulate? Does your child like things a certain way and struggle with changes and transitions? Do you wish life could be easier? Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed with life's stressors. Not addressing the overwhelm can lead to burnout, lack of focus, anxiety and depression. We believe that by receiving nature-based counselling, we can help you overcome these obstacles.
At Counselling the Maui Way we offer animal-assisted therapy in nature. We start with relationship building. We connect in nature and provide non-judgmental empathy and will help you to establish a mind/body connection. We offer a safe, inclusive and holistic experience so that you can begin to heal and learn practical life skills in order to self-regulate.
Nature-based therapy and play therapy is our passion. Using animal-assisted therapy we guide you to calm, focused, peaceful and happy thoughts so that you can enjoy life again. Book a free 20 minute consultation today and we will get started towards a calmer, happier and more simplified life for you and your children.
