Embodied Parenting
with Alexandra Yashar, M.A., OTR/L
In addition to providing one-to-one occupational therapy services for children, it is my honor and privilege to work with adults by providing parenting packages as well as somatic packages that are trauma-informed and focused on inner child work. We can also do a combination of somatic work and parenting in one session, as by nature, the two are tied together. Somatic work is about creating a conscious, connected relationship to the body and nervous system.
My Process
By osmosis, when you clear stuck emotions and energy from your nervous system that are keeping you trapped in contraction, you become a more present being. This means you are a more present, embodied parent. In embodied parent coaching, we often blend somatic work and parent coaching to create a beautiful synergy. The more you clear, the more you step into the embodiment of the parent you want to be. In this work, I primarily work with you on co-regulation and creating a safe container for your child to best support your and your child's nervous systems.
