Parent + Child Coaching Session

These are sessions where I work with you and your child together because lasting change happens faster when the adult and the child are learning to regulate side by side, not separately.

So much of a child's nervous system state is co-regulated with a parent's. This means your calm (or your own dysregulation) directly shapes theirs in the moment. Working with both of you together lets me see the real, live interaction between you: how your child responds under stress, how you respond to that, and where the pattern gets stuck. That's harder to fully capture in a parent-only session, and it means the tools we build together fit your specific relationship.

In this session, we'll:

  • Watch how the nervous system patterns play out between you and your child

  • Practice regulation tools together so your child learns them with you

  • Build a shared, in the moment plan you can both use immediately

  • Give your child language and tools of their own, at whatever level fits their age

All ages welcome - these sessions are adapted to fit your child's developmental stage, whether that's a young child learning their first calm-down tool or a teenager working through something more complex like bullying or anxiety.

This is coaching, not therapy or diagnosis.
