Understanding Children's Behaviours
This presentation focuses on becoming curious about children’s behaviours. I discuss the meaning behind a child’s behaviour in order to better understand how to support and redirect their behaviour. Together we will explore brain development, the autonomic nervous system, goals of behaviour, and strategies for supporting and redirecting behaviour which include connection versus correction, discipline and boundary setting, and co-regulation. This presentation is designed for individuals working with children between the ages of 3 to 12 years old in diverse settings who are wanting to gain insight and knowledge towards supporting children’s development.

Intuitive Parenting: Mothering from Within
This presentation focuses on the “how to be” rather than the “what to do” when exploring and navigating the act of mothering. There are many messages conveyed within society that dominate the discourse towards “good” and “bad” mothering practices that ultimately place judgement on one’s choices. This can lead to an internal dialogue that causes feelings of self-doubt, increased anxiety, and defeat in ability which affects one’s authentic expression of mothering. Together you will explore the dominate discourse of motherhood and how how it impacts your innate wisdom.

Experiencing anxiety is a normal part of being human but too much anxiety may increase the distress in one’s life. Although it is not possible to get rid of anxiety, it is possible to learn how to manage anxiety in order to live well through the normal overwhelm experienced in life. This workshop is dived into a three part series designed for individuals of all ages who are wanting to gain insight and knowledge towards understanding anxiety in their body, mind, and behaviours while building a relationship to their anxious experiences though regulating strategies.
