Parenting Neurodivergent Kids Support Group
creating community-creating understanding-creating change
​
We all have a story to tell about parenting our neurodivergent children. In this support group, we begin by creating community with each other- the act of being SEEN creates CONNECTION.​
We believe that parents have a deep understanding of their child, however it is often clouded by societal norms or external expectations. We strive to create a space to reflect on who we are, who our kids and families are, how this lines up with societal expectations. By sharing it with others we can begin to take an active role in our story.​
In this support group, we won't provide answers, but we WILL provide safe connection in order to find your internal understanding. ​

STRESS LESS- RELATE MORE: ADULT REGULATION GROUP
Ready to recharge your mind and body? In our fast-paced world, stress can subtly undermine our health, relationships, and productivity. This 8-week group is designed to equip you with effective tools to reconnect with yourself through Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR)—a powerful coping technique that can transform your daily life.
What to Expect:
- Free Movement: Start each session by unwinding from the day, allowing yourself to shake off tension and stress.
- Learn PMR: We’ll guide you through the PMR technique, developed by Dr. Edmund Jacobson, which emphasizes how physical relaxation fosters mental calmness. You’ll practice tensing and releasing muscle groups to alleviate physical tension and become more aware of your stress responses.
- Reflect and Apply: Each session concludes with reflections on how to stay connected to your body in daily life, helping you integrate these practices beyond the group.
This 90-minute group offers a dedicated space to release stress and explore a new way of being in your body. It's intentionally paced to help you truly feel the shifts—empowering you with strategies to navigate stress effectively.
​
Mental and Emotional Benefits:
- Understand Your Relaxed Set Point: PMR calms your nervous system, lowering overall stress and easing anxiety symptoms.
- Improve Emotional Regulation: Tune into your body's tension to better recognize and manage emotional responses effectively.
- ​Enhance Focus and Clarity: Reducing muscle tension and mental fatigue can significantly boost your concentration and mindfulness.
- Better Sleep Quality: Relaxing your body can quiet your mind, aiding in falling asleep and staying asleep.

Individual Parent Nervous System Reset
Stress and trauma are often held in the body, making it a challenge to regulate our nervous systems. This can complicate a parent’s/caregiver’s ability to co-regulate with their child, especially in those challenging moments. Gentle bodywork and instruction in self-administered strategies to release stress and regulate the nervous system can help parents and caregivers be more grounded and available for their kids. Bodywork provided by an occupational therapist with training in Neurovascular Integration (variant of craniosacral therapy), Myofascial Release, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or tapping, and various reflex integration techniques and expertise in sensory based regulation strategies.
- Sessions tailored to parents and caregivers needs and preferences.
- $150/ session private pay rate.
