Emotional Regulation
We offer individual and group classes to teach about emotions, beliefs and stress. Teaching preteens and teens how to be present with their emotions and develop body awareness and communication is one of the most important learnings they can gain . Those who learn these important skills are healthier, able to communicate their needs and listen to their body's signals to be successful in life.
There isn't an experience that you encounter that doesn't involve emotions. However most of us, (adults included) have been taught to ignore emotions and repress them. It has produced a society that is disconnected from their body and feelings.
We guide preteens and children to become present with themselves and their emotions and develop a healthy relationship with them.
​
The resulting effect is that when we deny emotions they show up as disconnection in other ways. Some of these include, disease in the body, personality issues like reactivity, lack of empathy, overinflated ego, bullying, control, narcissism and more. Adults and children that aren't taught that all emotions have a place in life and learning how to work with your unique emotional makeup, struggle daily with heavy emotions that often times are due to the way it was always taught in the household. This comes from a childhood where you were not being permitted to feel emotions and express them as well as generational beliefs about emotions.
THE BODY IS VERY INTUITIVE AND WHEN ITS NOT SAFE TO FEEL EMOTIONS IT WILL STORE IT AS NUMBLNESS, PAIN, DIFFICULTY CONCENTRATING, DISSASSOCIATION, NERVOUS SYSTEM DYSREGULATION AND MORE.
​
Talk therapy is just that, talk, it allows expression through words but not a deep FEELING of the emotion and where it is housed in the body. Unfortunately it creates a LOOP where those emotions will show up over and over, NOT released permanently.
​
It is only through engaging with body centered competencies like somatic techniques that one can release emotions and
develop a new emotional baseline for navigating life. In emotional wellness we teach nervous system regulation, mindfulness, as well as the importance of mindset. Beliefs and thoughts that took route both in childhood and generationally will create physical signs of imbalance in the body.

Nicole provided a safe space for me to share some childhood trauma and grief. I had felt stuck but with Nicole's guidance we began to work through pain and loss using different modalities. She gently guided me, letting me progress at my own pace while lovingly holding space for me. She also gave me some somatic tools for me to use at home, I felt lighter and released from the heavy energy I was carrying. I recommend her highly."

"My son has often been misunderstood as his big, loud and beautiful feelings can feel very overwhelming to others. Nicole worked with my son and in just a few short sessions he was able to regulate his emotions. We are also so grateful how she helped me and my son navigate grief and loss. I will use her teachings forever."
