Event Title: The Anchored Parent
Event Description:
The Anchored Parent is a small, live, 6-week group for parents of young children who want to feel calmer, more confident, and more connected— to their children and to themselves.
This is a supportive, science-informed space to slow down, steady your nervous system, deepen attuned presence, and connect with other parents who understand this season of life. Instead of advice or quick fixes, the group centers on reflection, in-the-moment regulation, and growing trust in yourself and your relationship with your child.
Over six weeks, we’ll explore nervous system regulation, attunement and repair, releasing unrealistic expectations, clarifying your values, and integrating self-compassionate practices for sustainable wellbeing. Each session includes gentle grounding, evidence-based teaching, personal reflection, and optional group discussion. There’s no pressure to share and no expectation to arrive feeling calm.
