Self-Paced Courses for Mental Wellness & Resiliency

Heart-Centred Reset For Tired Parents
Parenthood can be tough. And when things get tough, we can all use a bit of help. This course is designed for parents (all parents regardless of their kids’ age) - It’s about developing a healthy habit with emotion regulation so that you can handle the tough moments that come your way - it’s about rejuvenating you, the parent - so that you can re-discover, re-energize, and re-centre in the present moment.​
Based on mindfulness, attachment theory, and brain-based parenting, each lesson includes:
  • a short lesson
  • an emotion regulation strategy
  • a guided practice (meditation)
  • a home practice suggestion ​
When we approach the day with mindful awareness and the ability to settle strong emotion when it bubbles up, we are more present with others and experience greater ease in bravely showing up as our authentic self. I look forward to having you in the course!
Course outline:
  1. Breathe: Using the breath to calm emotion
  2. ​Feel: Understanding the felt sense of emotion
  3. Release: Mindfulness and letting go of old narratives
  4. Affirm: Releasing perfectionism and self-critical thoughts
  5. Befriend: Learning to include yourself in your caring
  6. Relax: Settling a busy mind at the end of the day
  7. Sleep: A guided meditation for sleep

Depression - Strengthening The 4 Domains of Symptom Reduction
In this short audio course, I'll be sharing a simple analogy that can aid in connecting you with symptom reduction strategies for depression. The concept and the information shared comes from my therapeutic work and research. My hope in offering this mini-course is that these helpful ideas might reach and help a larger audience in reducing suffering.

Please know that you do not have to have a diagnosis of depression to benefit from what this course has to offer. It's for anyone who experiences depression, moments of low mood, or who have a loved one who experiences those symptoms.  

​
This information is shared as a helpful resource to aid you in your day to day life, and not as an alternative to therapy.

Live Calm Kids is a Video Series for Children about all things emotion regulation

Launched during the initial shutdown of COVID-19, this was my way of creating a support to children and families that suddenly found themselves at home with their complete way of life interrupted. Schools were closed, visits with friends and family became rare, and outings were discouraged. The shutdown also meant that children and families were without support services that may have been in place pre-pandemic. I pulled this online resource together to put some supports in place, for children who may have been having a tough time coping. 

This video series takes components of the Live Calm Kids group (that traditionally ran in-person), turning it into a video series on managing emotions that kids can access at home.
Live Calm Kids Program Details:

  • Appropriate for ages 6-10
  • 6 videos, each between 20-25 minutes
  • Each video covers a new topic related to emotions and regulation
  • Basic art supplies will be needed (an outline of needed supplies will be in the description of each video)​​

These resources were created in the hope that strategies for symptom reduction, mental wellness, and resiliency building reach those who need it.  Your support through a 'Buy me a coffee' donation enables  me to dedicate more time to creating and offering more content on mental wellness
