This training is for anyone who nurtures and supports children’s well-being. Whether you work with children in a professional setting, are a parent or caregiver, or play another supportive role in their lives, you are part of the network that helps them learn, grow, and flourish. This training is designed to support you in that work, offering an opportunity to explore how evidence-based practices can be seamlessly woven into daily life, helping children regulate, connect, and build resilience.
Rooted in Polyvagal Theory and trauma-responsive care, this training bridges ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience, offering a deeper understanding of how early experiences shape the brain and nervous system, influencing emotional and mental development. By exploring the connections between brain development, self-regulation, and relational safety, we move beyond simply "teaching" skills. Instead, this training will empower you to support regulation-based skills in a way that is intentional, attuned, and fosters resilience—understanding that these skills are best learned through safe, supportive relationships and co-regulation.
What makes this training unique is that it doesn’t just focus on how we support children—it also prioritizes the well-being of the adults who care for them. Through a Polyvagal lens, we recognize that a regulated adult is the most powerful tool in a child’s life. Just as we nurture the soil before planting seeds, we must tend to our own nervous system health, emotional awareness, and self-care so we can show up fully for the children in our lives.
This training is an invitation to play, learn, and discover—to engage in practices that enrich your own life while gaining the tools to support youth in meaningful ways. Whether you're a teacher looking to bring mindfulness into the classroom, a therapist integrating movement into sessions, or a parent seeking new ways to foster emotional resilience at home, this training offers a comprehensive, heart-centered approach to sharing these essential practices with children.
If you feel called, we are ready to hold the space necessary for learning and growing, together.
