Shining from the Inside Out

In the fast-paced world we live in today, there are many pressures placed upon each of us and sometimes daily life can have its struggles.  We deal with a variety of issues and challenges faced by children and their families, examining the root cause(s) to bring about behavioral and sustainable change.  This is all done within the unique context of your family and how you operate to provide solutions that are a good fit for you.

Behavioural Issues

Many forms of behaviour are a child’s way of communicating something or expressing a need they cannot otherwise do using language.  Working with a wide range of behavioural issues affecting the child at home, school and elsewhere, identifying the root cause(s) and providing interventions along with follow up tools and strategies.

Attachment Disorder Issues

All children need at least one primary caregiver who securely meets their attachment needs for them to flourish.  Children can develop an ambivalent, avoidant or disorganised attachment style for several reasons which can cause significant ongoing issues in their daily lives spanning into adulthood if unaddressed.  Working with the child and their parent/caregiver attachment figure to strengthen the connection and relationship.

Child & Brain Development

Many children have missed milestones or skipped vital aspects of their development for varying reasons.  This can lead to learning issues, developmental issues, concentration and coordination issues and a dominance of one side of the brain over the other.

Using a variety of tools and techniques to bring the child’s overall system into balance and to encourage development in line with their chronological age.

ACCESS BARS®

One of our favorite tools and techniques for working with children is Access Bars (referred to as ‘having your bars run) which involves gentle touch on a number of points on their head which helps to dissipate the electrical discharge relating to the thoughts, feelings and emotions that are keeping them stuck (or behaving badly!).

Children and babies of all ages including newborns benefit greatly from having their Bars run. From the moment of conception, we are aware of the thoughts, feelings and emotions of our mothers and the people, the circumstances and environment that surround her and you. Access Bars dissipates and releases the electromagnetic build up in the brain from these experiences creating more ease and space with living in this reality whilst not being at the effect of it.

Children and babies are often more willing to experience rapid changes in their bodies and beings since they have fewer points of view, considerations and limitations about what may or may not be possible.  As such, they can be more potent and dynamic when running the energies on adults, often shortening the length of typical. ​
​
Many children even ask to have their Bars® run as they tend to be happier, sleep better, and have easier interactions with teachers, friends, siblings, parents, and other family members. Parents have even reported noticing improvements in overall functioning and behaviors with increased health and wellbeing and performance in school.
