A gentle reminder: Your December does not need to look like anyone else’s.
Low-pressure celebrations are valid.
Quiet holidays are real holidays.

✨ Nervous System Safety: Holiday Edition ✨
A gentle holiday support space for neurodivergent adults, children, parents, and anyone feeling stretched thin this season.

Do the holidays bring more dread than excitement?
You’re not alone — many of us feel that way, especially when routines shift, expectations rise, and rest feels impossible.

This time of year can be particularly tough when:
• Routines change suddenly
• Expectations and reality don’t quite match
• Care demands increase
• Family and social pressures intensify
• Burnout feels closer than ever

This holiday season, Liesel Smal is offering online group support sessions designed to help you understand your nervous system, build practical regulation tools, and feel less alone while navigating the festive chaos.

🧡 What to expect:
Simple nervous system education, gentle experiential practices, supportive community, and a space where your capacity is respected.

🗓 When:
Every Tuesday | 19h00–20h30
Dates: 16/12, 23/12, 30/12, 6/01, 13/01
(Attend 1, 2, 3, or the full 5-session series — whatever fits your capacity.)

💻 Where:
Online (from the comfort of your home)

💰 Cost:
R300 per session
or
