Parenting is HARD..

Parenting a dysregulated child is even HARDER..

Mum and Dad we see you and want you to know, you are not alone.

Are you watching your child go from zero to meltdown in seconds?

The reality is - living with a dysregulated child is really hard.

Their dysregulation creates a ripple effect - impacting every single member of the household, without even realising it.

Have you noticed how they pick up on your stress and frustration even when you think you’re hiding it?

This isn’t a coincidence, it’s co-regulation at work.

Your nervous system and your child’s are connected in ways most parents don’t realise..

And parents are coming to us in droves, having tried all the doctors, behavioural charts, therapy sessions and medications.

Without success!

The good news - we have worked with thousands of families stuck in this exact cycle of concern, frustration and helplessness.

Here’s what most health providers are missing: your child’s challenging behaviours aren’t defiance.

They’re signs of a very dysregulated nervous system.

And that dysregulation is closely linked to your own nervous system state.

Research shows that up to 15% of children struggle with emotional regulation.

Studies on co-regulation demonstrate that children use their parents’ nervous systems’ as templates for managing their big emotions.

Your child’s brain literally syncs with yours through subtle cues - such as your breathing rate, muscle tension, and even your heart rate variability.

Which is why when we start working with a dysregulated child, it’s really important to also look at their caregivers and how they need to be supported too.

To learn more about what we do, head online and book a complimentary discovery call today.

This week we’re talking about the part of parenting that almost never gets addressed:

Supporting the nervous system of the parent first.

Because when a child is dysregulated, their brain isn’t open to logic.

They’re in survival mode, and survival mode is biological, not behavioural.

In that state, the most powerful thing a child can receive is a signal of safety.

And that signal comes from you.

Your breathing.
Your tone.
Your presence.
And your ability to stay steady when the moment feels chaotic.

This is co-regulation: the biological process where a child’s nervous system learns to calm through the presence of a regulated caregiver.

So if you’ve ever felt like:

😵‍💫 I’m trying to do everything right and I’m still not getting through
😵‍💫 I don’t know how to calm them down
😵‍💫 I don’t know what to do when it escalates
😵‍💫 I feel triggered every time they loose their cool

You are not alone.

Living with a dysregulated child is really challenging.

But it’s not your job to be perfect.

It’s your job to build the capacity to regulate, so your child can learn how to do the same.

Stay close this week as we share more on this important topic!

Most young Chiropractors aren’t lacking passion or intelligence.

They’re lacking context, mentorship, and a framework that makes sense of the complexity of modern day health challenges.

So we’re opening the door a little wider - 👀

By giving you insight into the inner workings of our practice.

Over the coming weeks, Ashley will be sharing clinical insights, technique philosophy, and the powerful lessons that have come from four decades in practice.

This isn’t about the polished social media version of Chiropractic.

It’s about facilitating more REAL conversations within our profession!

We have been talking to the wrong person.

We have been talking to the Chiropractor you will become, not the Chiropractor you are right now.

And let’s be real, there is a massive gap between those two practitioners, and I’m guessing you have no idea how to bridge it?!

So you look into more seminars.

Consider adding more things to your practice, in an attempt to be more and attract more.

But in reality, the big road block is the fact that nobody actually taught you how to thrive as a Chiropractor in our rapidly evolving world.

So thats where we start, step by step one skill at a time with each one building on the one before it.

We train methodically, with intention and with the sole purpose of getting you thriving with the level of success that feels good for you.

Delivering exceptional, high level care in our practice as quickly as you can handle.

And here is the reality, it actually doesn’t matter how many years you have been out of Uni.

What matters is that you have an open mind, big passion for Chiropractic, are ready to be coached and eager to learn in a very big way.

If you are feeling stuck, lost, burnt out or disillusioned right now and not sure if a practice like ours is the right place for you..

Reach out and connect with us either via DM, phone or email 💌

We are always happy to connect, chat and see if we are a good fit for one another.

Here’s a truth I’ve been thinking about a lot lately:

Social media has built our Gold Coast practice from nothing to more than we ever dreamed of in a short space of time.

But it’s also created something we didn’t expect…

A barrier‼️

Because people can now judge us in one dimension, based on a few posts, a few photos, or a few clips.

They see the highlight reel.

They don’t see that real story.

And this is especially true for Chiropractors.

We see you watching.

We see you liking.

We see you resonating…

But you don’t reach out.

Maybe it’s because you feel like you’re not “advanced enough.”

Maybe it’s because you don’t feel like you belong.

But here’s the thing:

We are real people.
We’ve made lots of mistakes.
We’ve been uncertain.
We’ve been beginners.
We’ve been lost.

And we’ve built this practice and the ones before it - one step at a time, the same way you will.

If something we share makes you feel called or inspired…

Don’t wait.

Reach out.

Connect with us.

Because connection is how opportunity happens.

And if you’re watching and thinking,

“I wonder if I could ever be part of that”…

This is your permission to ask.

We might be more similar than you think 😊

Either do we! 😵‍💫🤯

Which is why we have a very big mission:

To change the trajectory of our profession by educating young Chiropractors on the “real chiropractic” and the power they hold in their hands to change the world!

Today it was Dr Zane from Melbourne spending time with us watching intently and having some coaching with Dr Ashley.
