Radiant Child Therapy-Reno

Radiant Child started with this little girl… Me.

As early as I can remember and as often as my family likes to remind me, I have always been “nervous.” Everything made me nervous- from the wind, to an unexpected noise, to a change in plans, to the possibility of not meeting expectations. My amygdala was running the show and I was just along for the ride. I couldn’t turn off my “worry brain” and my family wasn’t sure how to help.

My early childhood was not easy and my only constant “friend” seemed to be my worry brain. I masked all day at school. I never felt rested and longed for days off to nap all afternoon. I did okay academically, but always felt everyone picked up the lessons faster. A constant thought, “Why is this so hard for me?”

Fast forward to high school and I continued to be nervous, was chronically stressed, always sick, and dreading every day I had to go to class. I was not sure how to fit in to the high school scene, always wondering how others made it so easy. I truly felt my world was imploding on a daily basis, but I masked so well, no one knew to save me from drowning.

At 36, I look back now, knowing what I know about development, and it’s clear.. I didn’t “Grow out of it.” I just learned to compensate. I was experiencing severe sensory processing issues caused by birth trauma, unresolved torticollis, oral ties, skipped motor milestones, retained reflexes, and a chronic state of hypersympathetic nervous system.

Since I discovered this, I have poured my heart into my work to truly understand how to address these issues quickly and in a holistic way. And all of this knowledge and self healing is how Radiant Child came to be.

Radiant Child is more than just a clinic, it’s a space where your child can feel seen, by therapists who have been in their shoes and come out the other side knowing that peace CAN exist in a body with a regulated nervous system.

At Radiant Child Therapy, one of the things that is looked at, is how your child’s brain learns, and what they have access to when they are overwhelmed.

We all have a dominant brain.. Right or Left

We also have a dominant eye, ear, hand, and foot..

There are 32-different combinations that you could choose from, and you choose ONE at conception. This will determine what you have access to when you are overwhelmed. This means the following:

1: A stressed child with access to movement when overwhelmed, CAN’T sit still when tired, bored, excited, angry, or frustrated. And a child who doesn’t may be clumsy, motor delayed, or drop to the floor when upset.

2: A child that has access to vision when stressed could be one to line things up. And a child without access could have trouble reading and writing.

3: A child that has access to hearing when stressed may have excellent auditory recall. And a child who doesn’t may appear not to be listening or following directions OR may even have signs of dyslexia.

4: A child that has access to communication, may express how they are feeling. And a child who doesn’t may be the child with a speech delay or the child that bites, hits, pulls hair, spits, screams, and scratches when upset.

WHAT IF YOUR CHILD’S “BEHAVIOR” IS REALLY JUST A GLIMPSE AT THIER LEARNING PROFILE AND THE PERSISTENCE OF THE BEHAVIORS IS INDICATIVE THAT THEIR NERVOUS SUSTEM NEEDS A LITTLE HELP TO REGULATE?

What if you could learn how to develop their nervous system, give their body access to whole brain function, and your child becomes the best version of themselves?

Radiant Child specializes in this and is here to help.

Radiant Child Therapy offers highly specialized treatment techniques that produce results within 12-weeks.

The 12-week program addresses the following:

💙2-Part Evaluation: Parent portion and child portion

💙Home Program Education / Parent education throughout each session.

💙Neural net building to calm the brain stem and establish higher level brain functions needed for regulation throughout daily routines.

💙Fascial Release through unwinding and craniosacral techniques to calm the nervous system.

💙Reflex integration to establish symmetry to provide your child with volitional movement patterns instead of automatic / involuntary movement patterns.

💙Play: Allowing play through different motor activities or child led activities allows for integration of your child’s nervous system, The open-ended play time allows for improvement in emotional regulation, attention, coordination, and executive functioning.

The goal of the 12-week program is to establish your child’s ability to self-regulate, because without self-regulation, we CANNOT expect self-control. We also strive to provide parents with tools for home that are effective so they feel they can help their child at home no matter the circumstance.

At the end the 12-week program, most clients are able to move to an as needed basis (this may vary depending on your child’s level of need for therapeutic intervention). If there are any underlying conditions or diagnoses that have not been identified and may be affecting a child’s ability to progress to the expected level in the first 12-weeks, further recommendations for outside referral sources will be provided.

Results to be expected can include the following:
💙 Decrease in tantrums and length of tantrums
💙 More developed play skills
💙 Improved motor skills
💙 Improved language skills
💙 Improved self care skills
💙 Improved attention
💙 Improved Academics
