Inner Wisdom of Healthy Practices
We want healthy, happy lives. Why is it hard to build them? The field of neuropsychology has revolutionized our understanding of how stress operates and what we can do about it. Research consistently points to several practices as central to preventing and responding to stress. In this 4-session course, I will explain the reason and benefit of each, weaving wisdom literature into the process. You will complete the course with your own set of practices, tailored to your personality, needs, and lifestyle. We will explore:

Time in Nature
-
Meditation
-
Journaling

Gratitude
-
Acts of Kindness

This offering is best over 4-6 sessions.
Align Your Holidays
Would you like for your holidays to be characterized by less stress and exhaustion, and more joy and meaning? We will consider our priorities , what it looks like to embrace a vision for the holiday that we will actually enjoy, and how we can stay aligned to that vision when the busyness of the season begins to crowd in. You will leave the workshop with a working plan for the holidays.
This was a hit and I will hold this again next fall!
Workshops to help YOUR FAMILY thrive
Responding to Your Child's Big Emotions
We've all been there: your daughter yells at you or your son is suddenly in tears. Sometimes our children go from zero to giant emotions in a matter of seconds. In this workshop, I will share a simple and effective model of responding to emotional situations with your child. You will learn strategies that help adults and kids emerge from challenging moments feeling more connected to each other and more capable of handling emotions.
Growth Mindset for Families
You've heard about Growth Mindset, but what is it? How can you cultivate it in your family? Join me to learn how the way we think about circumstances impacts everything, and how we can use this knowledge to help build our kids' resilience, self-esteem, and willingness to try hard things. I provide strategies you can implement right away.

Do you find yourself feeling like you've been shoved out of an airplane every morning trying to get everyone out the door? Is bedtime chaotic?

In this workshop, I teach you the steps to create, implement, and maintain routines that work for your family.
