Happy Holidays!

12/21/2025

The winter solstice is a good reminder to slow things down a bit and notice what’s actually needed right now.

Safety doesn’t have to be anything big.
It might be more routine, more warmth, fewer demands, or extra connection.

Be present. Not perfect.

🌱Control is just behavior dictated by the nervous system to keep the environment safe.
For kids and adults.
Everyone controls through behaviors.
Pause and listen to what the nervous system needs.

We’ve been working on regulation so we can sit and do hard things like slowing down to get small beads over pipe cleaners, adjusting how we are attempting something to see if it works better, organizing complex situations and patterns and of course having fun while learning new skills. That goes for both kids and adults.

In my clinic, language is intentional. I pay attention to how words land in the body, because kids and adults feel the impact before they make sense of it. Some phrases make the nervous system brace. Others help it settle so regulation and problem solving are actually possible. When we choose language that supports the system, people stay connected and can take on harder tasks with more confidence. Try these options this week and see what shifts.

Sound baths have been one of the most requested offerings this season, so Quinn and I decided to create a space for it before the holidays sweep everyone up. We’re hosting a Women’s Circle and Sound Bath on December 21st at 4 pm at The Intentional OT Clinic in Columbia Falls.

If you want to join, you can DM me or email heidi@theintentionalot.org. Venmo payment will hold your spot and space is limited.

Bring a blanket, some water, and something to write on. We’ll have tea and snacks waiting.

I’m obsessed with using vibration plates, and my clients are too! Before you begin, make sure to consult a healthcare professional to confirm it's safe for your needs. It's fantastic for sensory regulation, emotional well-being, and strength training. Apologies for the missing captions in this video - Instagram’s caption function isn’t cooperating. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Nervous systems often respond better to quiet understanding. Silence can build confidence, safety, and regulation.

Using nervous system friendly language makes a difference. Pause and think. I love how it decreases meltdown behaviors and gives kids more control over their choices.

Sunday December 7th I’m excited to team up with Karina from Flourish Yoga for a special event in Kalispell.

Karina will be leading a restorative 45-minute yoga class designed to settle the body, soften overstimulated muscles, and ease the mind into a slower rhythm. Her classes are gentle, grounding, and perfect for anyone who needs time to unwind, reset, and reconnect with their breath.

After her class, I’ll guide a sound bath using crystal bowls, Himalayan metal bowls, soft chimes, and my standing bowl from Nepal to help shift the nervous system out of fight-or-flight and into steadier regulation.

Bring a comfortable blanket, settle in, and let us support you with an evening of nervous system rest and restoration.

Dm me for the sign up link.
