Everyday Emotional Wellness for Parents:
a lighthearted FREE workshop about managing parenting stress

There's no way around it, parenting just ain't easy! We may find ourselves trying to cope day to day with anger, depression, resentment, you name it.  How is a parent to maintain sanity amidst all this?

As a mother of two I can really identify with the nitty-gritty reality of parenting. My approach to emotional wellness focuses on releasing locked-down frustrations, allowing them to ignite changes that bring more satisfaction and relaxation into our lives, and digging deeper into the ways we subconsciously limit our options for happiness as parents. My intention is to give each parent take-home tools for integrating emotional wellness into everyday life.

Moving Beyond a Difficult Birth:
Embracing Healing & Connecting with Your Baby
The experience of birth doesn’t always happen the way we imagine. Intense emotions from a challenging pregnancy or birth can make it feel difficult to be fully present with your baby. These emotions need and deserve to be expressed and acknowledged, before we can allow ourselves to release them and begin true emotional healing. Then we can relax more deeply into a heartfelt, intuitive connection with our children.

From Fear & Anxiety to Expressing Who We Are:
an interactive workshop about coping with fear in our body

When anxiety flares, we may feel trapped, or we may feel like running away from it as quickly as possible! It is easy to let this energy of fear stop our creative movement in the world, or on the other hand, speed us up as we try to avoid it. While all this is going on, where are we in the picture of our lives?

In this workshop, we will practice dynamic body-mind tools for coping with fear & anxiety, as well as digging deeper to understand and work with what’s underneath. Movement and discussion will help bring a positive, empowering energy to our exploration. Once we have the tools and the courage to make a change in how we cope with anxiety, we can begin to feel more comfortable and excited about expressing who we are!

The Emotional Challenges of Chronic Illness:
Regaining the Forward Momentum of our Lives

When we struggle day-to-day with the physical demands of chronic illness, it is understandable that we often feel angry, depressed, helpless, or otherwise frustrated about our condition. Yet it is easy to get bogged down in these emotional routines, so that our lives become expressions of our frustration rather than of our unique interests and gifts, and the happiness we long for. In this workshop, we will explore the feelings related to our illness, tools for healthy emotional release, cultivating a conscious relationship with our physical form, and new intuitions and understanding about ourselves.

As we bring this learning into our daily lives, we begin to feel more comfortable in the body we have, and our lives can emerge as radiant expressions of who we truly are.
