Our History

I am the parent of a child with special needs except now he’s a young adult with special needs. Although everyday now is not life and death like it was when he was very little. There are still days I feel that I’ve haven’t done enough to help him out in his life-and any roadblocks are because I didn’t do enough.

​

Well, guess what? I started taking Somatic trainings to learn things to help my son and, in the process, I learned that it mattered profoundly how I was doing. I learned he was forming his nervous system from my nervous system, and my nervous system was all jacked up.

​

At the time of his early childhood, we hadn’t lived in a steady home because we had put everything on hold and into helping him. We weren’t centered, we weren’t well, we got sick often and we were so stressed out. I wish I had known early on. That the parent’s health really affects how the child is. That therapy for the child needs to include therapy for the parents.

​

It needs to be one and the same. We need to help both the parent and the child to have a healthy outcome. They become the medicine for each other’s healing. When one does well the other does better and vice versa. It’s the best kind of interdependency when a family wants all its members to be well.
