~some self-disclosure~
My youngest came home from school today with a pain. Over the last few days, there have been a few minor pains...
I was observing and reassuring them to listen to their body.
Our youngest is autisic. At times, school can be overloading, and they need a break. We always try to meet that need as best we can.
Today, I was able to meet it with some gentle supporting bodywork.
I offered, they accept, they dont always accept, and I honour and respect their choice.
Encouraging them to listen and pay attention to what they need is not something I was always able to do. I didn't understand and wasn't able to meet and support them in the past.
I have spent years training and educating myself.
When I began, I didn't know I was part of neurodiverse family. I just knew and felt in my bones something had to change...
Change happened slowly over time.
Today, I was able to meet our child where they needed to be, support them with my craft basket of skills, and make space for them in the world the way they needed it.
I brought in Craniosacral, Reiki, Indian Head Massage, and a sprinkle of reflexology.
Their nervous system was in overload, all the input from school and the world had them frazzled.
As I worked, I could feel and see them coming back to themselves, settling into their Window of Tolerance, their internal world righting it's self, for now.
Deep sleep followed, and whole body reset.
I am so very grateful to be able to do the work I do and support myself and my family and my clients.
If you are in need of some support in learning to listen to your body whispers, maybe I can offer you a place to be heard and seen in a way that feels ok for you.
