Then you are in the right place!
This is more than a course.
This is your support system as your family grows.
Raising a highly sensitive and neurodiverse child is not always easy, but it doesn't have to be hard.
As a highly sensitive (and undiagnosed ADHD) mom with children who follow similar patterns, I get this.
Coming from a family with sensitivities, neurodiversities, and significant trauma, I get this.
As a woman who has worked with children almost all my life, I get this.
I was given the gift of breathwork and meditation from my Mam when I was a child, who approached our concerns very holistically. Although I set out for business school, after a near death experience at twenty-one I quickly returned to my healing and teaching roots, reconnecting with my life purpose I recognized as a child... but was mystified how to go about it.
Since then I have pursued a wide variety of holistic learning, worked through enough of my own and intergenerational SH*T, become a Registered Expert Yoga Instructor (ERYT-500), Registered Prenatal Yoga & Children's Yoga Instructor, Craniosacral & Somatic Therapist, Clinical Counsellor, founded a Registered Children's Yoga School, and more. Why?
I am passionate about learning and integrating holistic practices to empower sensitive and neurodiverse families.
As parents, we hold an incredible opportunity to create change for ourselves, our families & future generations.
With co-regulation beginning in utero, we play a vital role in influencing our children's nervous system and subconscious.
Our little teachers offer us the opportunity to grow and find greater alignment... but first,
We need to nourish ourselves to recognize our patterns and tune into our inner wisdom to be able to lead by example.
This is especially true for those of us who have a highly sensitive or neurodiverse child, and even more critical if we are also.
In working with a myriad of presentations, spectrums and overlaps of sensitivities, from sensory processing differences (not disorder), to ADHD, to Autism, and beyond, I have learned a thing or two. One is that a holistic, systems approach 100% does help to not only mitigate concerns, but it also empowers the entire family in a sustainable way.
My work is rooted in fostering healthy, holistic systems within and to supporting individuals and families,
the nervous system, and Holistic Integrative Development Therapy© to empower families to thrive!
I understand the challenges of...
Being pulled in a million directions with little time to nourish yourself, leaving you feeling exhausted
Feeling helpless, isolated, and even ashamed to ask how to parent your child & support their unique needs
Wanting to parent in a way that is supportive, but feeling overwhelmed by conflicting information
Feeling triggered by your child's big emotions and challenges & struggling to react from a calm space
Your heart breaking when you see your child struggling in friendships, school and life
Wanting to pour all your love into your child, yet feeling torn & guilty when your cup isn't filled
Are you over parenting tactics that work for the short-term, leaving you second guessing yourself and back to trying to find the answer?
The neurodiverse and highly sensitive child in particular, are picking up on our energy more than our words, meaning coregulation is essential. But we've been taught not to trust our body wisdom or intuition, to look outside of ourselves for solutions, that we are never good enough. Statistically, many of us had our boundaries compromised and this makes it hard to trust our body wisdom, leaving deep, unconscious patterns of fear and shame. So naturally we want a different experience for our children and to protect them, seeking the advice of experts.
How can we embrace calm, connected parenting from this space?
It is in tuning back in, that we are able to hear our needs, nourish ourselves, and embrace our intuition and the power of coregulation to help our children thrive. On size does not fit all in parenting! If you have more than one child, you know that each child is unique, and what worked for one child is not necessarily going to support another. Take a peek below!
This is why we need to understand our child's true essence and approach holistically, to hear the heart of the matter.
The first step is nourishing ourselves. I am here to help you reconnect with yourself compassionately, and to learn holistic and science-based tools, so you can enjoy greater peace and joy on your parenting journey. In doing so, you will be able to embrace all of yourself, heal your patterns, understand your child's true nature, their strengths and challenges, and parent your highly sensitive child in way that empowers them to thrive!
What are your sacred child's unique gifts?
When we are able to tune into and honour our child's uniqueness, parenting becomes significantly easier. We are able to understand their sacred energy and mission, why they sometimes do the things that trigger us, and support them from a heart-centred space. From this perspective we are better able to guide our children, answering both their soul calling and ours, to grow symbiotically and thrive.
Our highly sensitive and neurodiverse children are very tuned into our energy. And when we respond from this heart centred space to help them explore and express their needs, we empower them to create meaningful change... and give them a powerful skill-set for life!
But first, we need to be nourished.
Many of my clients experienced challenging births or postpartum phases with a lack of meaningful support.
Moms, Dads, and children often have unresolved trauma trapped in their nervous system from this experience.
This is often amplified with the challenges of raising a highly sensitive or neurodiverse child.
Most of my clients are Moms who come to me after tirelessly trying other tactics that don't work for their child.
They are tired and understand the need for a more holistic approach that will address underlying patterns and concerns.
All of my clients are incredible parents who wish to do their best for their children, but most feel lost, helpless, or overwhelmed.
They wonder why it's not working for them. What's wrong with them or their child. They feel the parenting guilt.
Many feel stuck in old patterns, but when they are tired and triggered, they come up... feeding into further negative feelings.
They know they want change, but aren't sure what this looks like or how to get there.
I get it, and I know it takes a holistic approach and the support of others to create the change we desire.
We are not meant to walk this journey alone.
Over 14 years of working with young clients and studying various modalities, from breath to children's yoga, reflex integration to Craniosacral therapy and everything in between, I noticed some patterns. This gave rise to Holistic Developmental Integrative Therapy© as a tool to empower parents, particularly of sensitive and neurodiverse children. If you have a child with sensory sensitivities, ADHD, Autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, balance, coordination and other motor development concerns - this is for you!
I noticed when certain reflexes were not fully integrated, not only did this influence motor development, sensory concerns, and other patterns, but it also influenced stages of development and the child's ability to thrive.
While we are all unique and I don't believe we need to be "fixed", there are simple things we can do to support optimal development, leading to happier, healthier individuals. The reflexes and phases of development build upon each other, so when one is not fully integrated this can affect the next. We want to give our children the best, and more often than not it's something really quite simple that we can easily incorporate into our daily life that can empower them the most!
Through Holistic Developmental Integrative Therapy©, I help parents understand the reflexes and stages of development, test which reflexes have not yet been fully integrated, and offer fun practices to encourage optimal integration in the comfort of their own home. This also serves as a proactive practice, encouraging play and connection with your child for their optimal wellbeing!

Why I'm committed to supporting you:
I'm a mom to two highly sensitive little girls, with family members who have been diagnosed and others who have not. I understand the challenges that come with being a highly sensitive mom (and undiagnosed ADHD), and how profound having nearly a lifetime practice of meditation, breathwork & Somatic tools has been.
Since I was a child I was told I had healing hands and should be a teacher, yet I pursued a Business degree from UBC. Shortly after graduating I began healing my personal & intergenerational patterns, and understood I needed to follow my calling into healing & teaching.
We are at a pivotal moment, with many going through dramatic changes as old patterning is being released. I understand how tumultuous this can be, and how important it is to have a supportive community.
This is why I chose to walk the healing path I have, and I know the beautiful lights in our life (our children) are here to awaken us in creating even greater alignment and joy on our journeys. But first, we need to nourish ourselves.
Over the last 12 years, I have been honoured to receive awards for my contributions to empowering families. As a Clinical Counsellor, Craniosacral & Somatic Therapist, Expert Registered Yoga Teacher, and founder of a Registered Children's Yoga School, I bring a very holistic, compassionate approach to all I do. I look forward to supporting you and your family on your journey!
As someone who believes in the healing power of nature, I am truly grateful to live and play in beautiful North Vancouver, the unceded lands of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ / sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.
I packaged that all up for you here, so you have all the resources and support you need to

I think we can agree that parenting tactics don't work. What does work is a sustainable systems approach, addressing the inner and outer world, relationship dynamics, the mind, body, and soul.

This is especially true if you or your child is highly sensitive or neurodiverse. But the truth is... only YOU truly know what your child needs. I am here to help you uncover this through my unique framework, guiding you to nourish yourself and tune in. Become the calm, connected version of yourself, so you can parent confidently from a heart-centred space and empower your family to thrive!
