Changing the future one child at a time!
There is nothing more important to me than to arm a child with the power to deal with life as early as possible. Giving them the ability to deal with their emotions so they can face whatever life throws at them, as well as the tool to be free to be who they truly are is, in my eyes, invaluable.
It is said that, up till the age of 12, children can carry their parents issues. It is therefore important for at least one of the parents- if not both - to have their own breathing session before their child. This will not only allow them to understand the process but to better support their child journey.
Baby
-
Why should we breathe babies? They are brand new! No matter how natural and calm and magical your birth was, the act of being born is traumatic in itself - necessary and beneficial, but traumatic none the less. We all carry our birth traumas with us through life, whether we are aware of it or not. So, addressing those as early as possible, is an incredible gift you can give to your baby.

The sessions tend to be shorter as babies tend to integrate things more quickly.
Please make sure your baby is fed, changed and ideally settled prior to the session.

Children
-
Very young children deal with their everyday stress too and they experience emotions that they are not even able to express or understand. They also go through a lot of changes specially when they reach fundamental milestones. So, giving them a way to express themselves, even in a non-verbal way, is an invaluable tool.
-
It’s not always easy to get a toddler to stay focussed enough to do a session so we keep these short – having an incentive helps, so I encourage you to maybe find a reward for doing the session, be it their favourite treat or a trip to the park! It is also their choice to have a parent in the room with them or not.

Teens
-
Our teens! What a journey they are on! Transitioning between childhood and adulthood is not easy. Adding to this, the pressure of their environment and social media makes it even more challenging. Arming them with the necessary tools to be emotionally strong and be able to deal with the stresses of day-to-day life, is invaluable. This will help them be, and stay, grounded in their body and increase their focus. It will help to increase their self-esteem as they search for their own identity and where they belong.
