Our body keeps the score, but we are able to bring in some kindness for ourselves. Self kindness goes a long way.

How much energy you have at any moment for the various things you do in your day is actually connected to how you perceive the task...

Let's get curious about that.

It was an absolute privilege to spend time with these early educators.

The discussions were deep and insightful, the heart in the room inspiring.

We can't wait to continue our relationship with this service who clearly want to do things differently and meet the children and families they serve with authenticity and connection. ❤️

Our art therapy group 'Your Parenting Palett' for parents finished this week with an extra session that allowed everyone to meet in person.

This was a fantastic group to be a part of and I cannot wait to run it again early next year.

Some of the comments participants made throughout were:

"I really enjoyed the opportunity to create in a guided way. Thankyou for holding the space for that to happen"

"I almost didn't come today, I was feeling really overwhelmed and didn't think I could engage with people. But I'm leaving feeling much lighter and better than I have in a while."

Alex and I feel incredibly privileged to witness this groups process and connection.

If you would like to express interest for our next group starting in Feb 2026 then reach out. We'd love to hear from you.

A little mid November reminder that you don't have to do ALL the things and there are a lot of reasons you and your children are feeling overwhelmed and tired. Go gently.

Anger and aggression are commonly used to mask anxiety and sadness- states that are considered 'weak' or 'vulnerable' are hidden behind expressions that push people away.

It makes complete sense when you think about it - protection and safety are the brains main concern.

So next time your child is communicating in this way. I invite toy to get curious. What might be under what we see?

Did you know that when we are stressed, overwhelmed or our brain perceives a threat we regress? This means we start to behave at a younger emotional age than our chronological age.

You've probably noticed this in your children and thought (or said), you're 5, why are you acting like a 2yo!? (Or insert any age, because it happens frequently through the years).

We even do it as adults. Even been in a situation and thought "this person really needs to act their age!"

When this is happening, especially with children the best thing we can do is meet them where they are. You might feel silly. But I promise the fastest way to help them move through it is to start where they are.
