The truth is that the more we bite down, the more the kids will too.

When we reframe behaviors from a nervous system lens, we can immediately soften to them. We can see a child who is struggling instead of a child who is out to get us.

This is NOT permissive or allowing all behaviors 🙌

Shifting our understanding of the root causes of behaviors is imperative in our ability to show up with compassion to support the child AND the capacity to do what we need to do.

But we also need concrete, practical steps.

I’ve put my favorite nervous system based strategies inside a short, easy to digest course for you.

I’ll share strategies that you can use on Monday. 🤍

The introductory price of $33 is going up tonight at midnight.

Also-Join by tonight for an invitation to a live Q&A call tomorrow morning at 8:30 eastern. 🥳

You don’t need more complicated systems or charts or token economies to create peace in your classroom.

You actually already have your most valuable tool— you, and your relationship with your students.

As an OT, I used to think I needed fancy charts, system, and rewards to “get” cooperation. That just got me stress, disconnection, & power struggles.

When I finally let go of that and focus on connection instead, things began to shift.

Cooperation came more easily once I stopped chasing it. I started sharing small, brain-based shifts with teachers and they noticed the same. ✨

I decided to build Connected Classrooms to help teachers navigate the hardest moments by understanding what’s happening in the nervous system, without any complicated systems.

The course is ready for you now.

Enroll before Friday 2/13 for launch week discount ($33) & an invitation to a live Q&A call.

The community was strong at the AOTA conference. 💪

This was my first conference, and I was so grateful to collect a pack of friends, old and new, to learn with for the day. 🤓

Grateful for an ever expanding community of like minded OT’s, those pictured and those who are not 💖

A quick moment of gratitude for this little practice I started just over 2 years ago. 🥺

At the same time, attending the training retreat for nature based OT’s was very much a life changing experience for me.

These past 2 years have been full of learning, failing, trying again, showing up, and allowing myself to be authentically and deeply engaged in my work. 💪

Proud and grateful during this OT month for mentors, friends, and especially the kids and families who trust me with their care and well-being.

Never would I ever have guessed I’d be a practice owner, but here we are. 🌿

Lots of ideas brewing in my head (always), and I’m excited to continue on here in year 3.

Thanks for being here 💕
