Here’s a little Story Massage I wrote to share with a child and her Mum during a Crystal Healing session. 💖 if you’d like to know how you can share positive touch with your children or the those you work with or care for, pop me a message at Heart of Nature Therapies

It’s been a quiet few weeks on this page but a BUSY few weeks in our little family. We’ve spent lots of time outside in the very chilly weather, and very muddy landscape, home educating and taking care of our beautiful, new rescue pony. We are so grateful to have visited family in sunny Spain to recharge, and now I’m able to be here more and offer my presence to you ☀️

If you’d like to find out more about what I can offer to children and families, please just pop me a message, or visit my website www.rewildedu.co.uk

Crystal Healing with children 🤩 exploring through all of the mediums here and most of all having fun 💖

Holistic therapies shared with children rarely look like they do when we have a treatment as adults 😀 my foundation is to meet the child where they are, and anything could happen 😎
Yesterday I shared a beautiful, crystal healing session with a 6 year old and her Mum.
We pretty much included everything below in the session 🥰

If you’d like to explore Crystal Healing for your child, please get in touch 💖

Booking is open for our Spring, Mini Me Yoga class in Stanwick ♥️⬇️

We all have emotional ’cups’ that can get depleted easily. Here are some lovely ideas of how to fill our children’s emotional cups. And guess what? All of these actually result in our own cups being replenished too! Win win 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Affirmations can be repeated as a mantra, and are so powerful that they rewire neural pathways in the brain!
How we speak to ourselves matters more than anything anyone else says 💖
This one is a great stilling and resetting mantra for children to come back to themselves 💖

I’m so excited to be back with sharing the joy and fun of yoga in my local community of Northamptonshire.

Here’s a little more info on me and what I offer here at Heart of Nature Therapies ♥️

Home | RewildEd As a parent of a child who needed extra support to thrive physically and mentally, I was seeking something to strengthen my daughter's physical, emotional and mental development.

I have a beautiful offering for new Mums…including adoptive parents and foster carers.
♥️An opportunity to learn baby massage in the comfort of your own home, along with nurturing touch for yourself with gorgeous Indian Head Massage♥️

💖The benefits of baby massage for both you and your baby are huge - from supporting their holistic development, to nurturing your relationship to one-another (and everything in between).
💖Indian Head Massage is a deeply relaxing treatment which calms the nervous system and offers lasting effects on mood and sleep.

These packages would make wonderful Baby-Shower gifts 🥰
To book, please contact me directly via message or phone (see below) 👇🏻

This is so beautiful and so important. The most nurturing thing we can do with and for our children, from birth is offer them our body and proximity as their safe-haven 💕🥰

“Parents are the original baby monitors.

We are designed keep our infants close. Even while we sleep, our bodies monitor and nurture our young. Our nearness promotes bonding, facilitates brain development, and regulates the nervous system. Infants are incapable of surviving without us, so the need to be close is also a hard-wired safety mechanism.

Humans are born earlier in their gestation than other mammals. We enter the world far less developed and far more helpless. A newborn calf can stand up within the first 2 hours after birth...human babies can’t even hold their own heads up until around 3 or 4 months old.

And if we look to our closest cousins, chimpanzees, for comparison…a human baby would need a 18-21 month gestation, rather than our usual 9-10, in order to be born at a comparable cognitive and neurological stage of development to that of a newborn chimpanzee. So our young toddlers aren’t even ready to cut the cord by chimp standards…

So, once earthside, we continue our gestation with the help of our parents. We stay rooted to our parents so that our bodies and minds may continue developing, in constant communication with theirs.

That is why its so troubling when our culture’s separation-focused narrative leads us to start second-guessing the value of proximity. It seems like we get our free pass for the newborn phase, but then after that there’s a bit of distaste for cosleeping or carrying or generally embracing high needs for closeness. I hope we can start to change that.

I hope that we can view proximity as something to honour as much as we can, rather than something to extinguish as early as possible.

That, instead of being considered a kind of lagging-behind or an alt parenting style, we can celebrate the magic that it is...

That we can reconnect with our mammalian nature, and, rather than feeling sheepish about these natural things we do, we can choose instead to roar with pride about them, as our little cubs roar too, right by our sides.”

The Positive Parenting Project has created this great resource to support us in supporting teenagers with their mental health 🙏🏻💖

Supporting Children's And Teenagers' Mental Health: Resource List | Anita Cleare A list of resources for parents for supporting children's and teenagers' mental health. Includes useful books, apps. websites and sources of support.

Did you know that I write Healing Stories and share these with families? Story offers a gentle, healing balm when facing difficult situations, and take children gently and safely on a journey where they can engage their imagination.
They can revisit a story time and time again (remember when they were very little and wanted the SAME story every night? 😅) and have the safety of always knowing the resolution, and the outcome.

Healing Stories written especially for your situation may be:
📖 Meditation Stories which offer the child tools to calm their nervous system.
📖 Massage Stories which bring the healing reassurance of touch to the story.
📖 Therapeutic Stories which can address difficult topics with children and empower them to overcome challenges and reach a resolution.

If you’d like a story written for/with your family or child, please get in touch 💕🙏🏻💕 this service is individualised and unique to each situation 💖

This is such a helpful perspective! Neurodiversity isn’t a linear scale, it’s a beautiful, swirly and ever-changing landscape and each experience is as unique as the person themselves.

As a parent, I’ve struggled so much not to react to comments comparing children who have ASD with one another.
Why would you compare them? We don’t compare neurotypical children 🤦🏻‍♀️ 💕
