Embrace the Rain: Embracing Parenthood

01/30/2026

Hey friends!

Last week, our older group took on a communication challenge. 🗣️

One person held the image. One person held the blocks.

The only bridge between them? Words.

As they navigated clarifying questions, problem-solving, and moments of mismatch, we saw teamwork take shape in real time—adjusting language, listening closely, and learning how to express ideas clearly when things didn’t go as planned. 🧠👋

These kinds of challenges build more than structures.
They build connection, perspective-taking, and confidence in communicating with others—skills that matter far beyond this moment.

Hey friends!

Progress doesn’t always show up as a new skill or a checked box.

Often, it shows up quietly—felt in the body before it’s seen on the outside.

In nature-based OT, we look for growing capacity:
the ability to stay, to try, to recover, to trust.
Some days that looks like movement. Other days it looks like rest.

Both matter.

Progress isn’t linear here, and it doesn’t need to be rushed.

We meet each nervous system where it is, knowing that small, steady shifts build something lasting 🌿

We’re excited to share that we currently have some weekday morning openings for home-based occupational therapy in Langley 🌿

Our sessions are play-based, relationship-focused, and designed to support children right in the comfort of their own homes.

If you’re looking for OT support during weekday mornings, we’d love to connect 🤍

Seeing strengths where others see struggles 💚

Strong-willed kids often get into power struggles with parents/adults, but remember—it takes two to argue. When tensions rise, take a deep breath, help them feel understood, and set limits respectfully. Avoid unnecessary conflict and remember offering choices empowers you and your child.
Instead of looking for obedience, take time to guide them to make good choices independently. Strong-willed children value their integrity; if given some control, they’re often eager to cooperate.🌱 Hang in there, it's worth the time ❤️

back on 2025 with so much gratitude 🤍

Every session at the ranch reminded us why nature, movement, and connection matter.

We’re officially open and beyond excited to welcome families into 2026—ready to grow, explore, and support each child’s journey in the year ahead 🌱🥾🤎

❄️✨ Winter Break Update ✨❄️

Our little cabin in the woods will be taking a restful pause from ❗️December 20th–January 4th❗️. We’ll be recharging, reflecting, and getting ready for more nature-filled OT fun in the new year!

Thank you for such a wonderful season of play, growth, and muddy boots. 🥾🌲

We can’t wait to see you again in 2026!

Hey friends!

❄️✨ Winter is coming… and we’re still adventuring! ✨❄️

As the days get colder and darker, our sessions shift into all things cozy, creative, and full of wonder. In the cabin we dive into Christmas + winter crafts, building fine-motor skills while we make a joyful mess. Outside, we splash in puddles, set up tarps for weather-proof play, warm up by the fire for stories, and turn the early darkness into magic with flashlight games and structured glow-play.

Nature doesn’t stop—so neither do we. 🌲🔥💧

Hey friends! We’ve found a new favourite craft!

🌬 Breathe Boards! 🎨

This week we made our very own breathe boards — a hands-on tool to help us slow down, focus, and find our calm.

We decorated cardboard, added colourful pipe cleaners and beads, and practiced mindful breathing:

✨ Breathe in — move a bead up
✨ Breathe out — move a bead down

A simple, creative way to make regulation visual, tactile, and fun! 💛
