Regulated Parents in Action
Come move, play, and learn with us! In this hands-on parent training series, we will dive into strategies to help regulate our children through the power of our own self-regulation. We will provide education and experiential opportunities
to help us understand how to use ourselves and the parent-child relationship to regulate our children. Each week we
will cover a topic that incorporates the use of sensory regulation, mindfulness, and yoga to positively influence our regulation so that we can approach parenting from a place
of fullness and abundance rather than emptiness and burnout. Parents will have practical tools to incorporate right away into daily life.
When: Tuesdays
Time: 6:00-7:00 pm

Circle of Security® Parenting™ Group
The Circle of Security® Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened and helps us make sense of what our children are really asking from us. This is a 10-week course that utilizes video clips to present information about The Circle as well as examples of parents using The Circle with their children. Groups are a mix of watching video clips to learn new concepts and discussing and reflecting on our own experiences. This program is appropriate for all parents, those looking to learn a bit more, those who are struggling in their relationship with their child, as well as new parents, foster and adoptive parents!

Brittany St. John
MS, OTR/L
Brittany completed her MSOT degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2016. She has continued her education at UW-Madison and is currently wrapping up a master’s in public health and is a fourth year PhD student in Occupational Science. Her goal is to be an OT researcher who continues to work with families in a clinic or home setting in order to ensure her research is meaningful to families of children with special needs and applies directly to OT pediatric practice. Brittany’s research and clinical work focuses on promoting the health and well-being of families with children with special needs, addressing complex feeding challenges for families with children with autism, and identifying how OT can be applied to improve the health of communities.
Brittany completed her OT clinical training at the Waisman Center in the cerebral palsy, feeding, neuromotor, and down syndrome clinics and at the VA mental health unit. In addition, she has experience working with a wide variety of children in a pediatric clinic and providing in-home therapy with a focus on feeding challenges. Brittany’s goal as an OT and researcher is to support children and families in achieving their goals and overcoming challenges. She believes that families and caregivers are essential to successful therapy and loves to work collaboratively with them. Brittany works to build a strong rapport with the children and families she serves to identify the best therapeutic approaches for the individual needs of the child. Her favorite part of being an OT is how playful and creative she gets to be in each session and paying special attention to the small victories a child experiences on their way to meeting their goals!
Outside of the clinic Brittany’s favorite occupations are being a mom, gardening, trapeze, painting, biking, knitting, and DIY projects.
