WOW....what an incredible couple of days it has been. It was an honor to give two presentations at the MSSA (Minnesota Social Service Association) Annual Conference & Expo!

Sending huge “thank you’s” to our team, community caregiver panelists, conference organizers, and the audiences who allowed us to create an atmosphere of reflection and meaningful dialogue.

Leaving with full hearts today!

Wondering why nothing has been working?

When your child is stressed, overwhelmed or scared, they can’t process information or learn well. They either want to shut down, run away or fight. Programs that attempt to fix these behaviors without first growing their capacity to manage their emotions and their bodies through safe relationships will fail every time.

This week, Dandelion Neurorelational Family Services will be presenting at the Minnesota Social Service Association Annual Conference & Expo!

On March 12 & 13, a few of our Dandelion team members, led by owner Sara Sherman, will present “Unleashing Authentic Voices: Consumers Speak on Professional Practice.”

Alongside the team, three Dandelion community caregivers will join as panelists, bringing lived experience into the room in a way that invites reflection, honesty, and deeper understanding.

The conversation will explore themes like:
• What person-centered care really looks like in practice
• The power dynamics that shape provider–family relationships
• The tension between system expectations and human connection
• How authenticity, humility, and curiosity can shift professional practice

This session is designed to create space for listening, reflection, and meaningful dialogue about how we show up for the families we serve.

If you’re attending , we hope you’ll join us!

We’ve spent years sitting alongside kids who felt stuck and families caught in cycles of stress, overwhelm, and disconnection. Again and again, one truth became clear: real change happens when people are supported together.

Through Neurorelational Coaching, we help families understand how brains, experiences, and relationships shape behavior and how connection creates safety, growth, and lasting change.

You don’t have to do this alone. Healing happens in community. 💛

Hi, we're Dandelion! 👋

We’ve spent years working with kids who seem hopeless and families who are caught in cycles of incredible stress and disconnection. Through it all, we saw one truth: Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in relationships.

Formally known as Discovery Horse, Dandelion has helped hundreds of families like yours move from chaos to connection using neurorelational coaching–our science-backed, relationship-first approach. Neurorelational coaching helps families understand how our brains, experiences and relationships shape behavior.

Let us help you create real change through connection. Visit https://www.dandelion-family.com/ to reach out to us today.

Throwback Thursday! 🕙

Years ago, our co-founder Sara took the TEDx stage to explain how horses teach us to show up honestly, feel what we feel, and reconnect with our nervous systems and relationships in ways traditional therapy sometimes can’t. Her stories of transformation and the lessons learned from being with these beautiful animals are why the work we do on the farm matters so deeply.

Horses aren’t just tools. They’re partners in healing. Reflecting back our emotions, helping us slow down, and reminding us what it means to be present.

Sara founded Discovery Horse as a way to help kids discover their inner strength. One of the most remarkable parts of working with horses, Sara says, is they...
