As a lifelong learner setting goals is important to me. I plan to continue nurturing the roots of my foundation and cultivating new growth.

 

In my work I will continue to seek out educational opportunities, adding to my understanding of human development, social and emotional well-being and with a special interest in parent-child relationships. To read more about some of the learning I have planned for the next year click on the hyperlinks below:

​

Circle of Security 

Culturally Sensitive and Trauma Informed, Circle of Security is an attachment based program validated by over 30 years of research. Secure attachment relationships with caregivers are a protective factor for infants and preschoolers, setting the foundation for social competence and promoting effective functioning of the emotion regulation and stress response systems.

​

Emotion Focused Family Therapy

Rooted in empathic, validating responsiveness, emotion coaching is a universal strategy for supporting the emotional well-being and development of children, adolescents and adults. 

​

Hanen Speech Training/ Parent-Family Coaching

Committed to supporting and empowering the most important people in a young child’s life, Hanen is a parent/family/adult coaching-model intervention, focused on promoting the best possible language, social and early literacy skills.

​

Infant Massage Therapy

Strengthening the child-parent relationship by teaching the benefits of nurturing touch and responsive parenting, infant massage provides a loving connection between parent and baby starting early in life, strengthening this attachment as baby grows.

​

Roots of Empathy

Roots of Empathy is an international, evidence-based classroom program that has shown significant effect in reducing levels of aggression among schoolchildren by raising social and emotional competence and increasing empathy. 

​

The richest learning opportunities however, will continue to come from the individuals who enter my world; the families, caregivers, educators and of course the children, with whom I have the honor to invest in relationship building.
