Who It’s For

Parents, educators, therapists, and caregivers who want fun, practical tools to help themselves and the children in their care manage big emotions and soothe the nervous system.

Workshop Overview

This interactive workshop is all about learning through play and having fun! Together, we’ll explore evidence-based mind-body practices that calm the nervous system, spark authentic connection, and support personal and professional growth.

Through playful techniques—including deep breathing, mindfulness, mind-body games, gentle yoga postures, and guided imagery—you’ll laugh, move, and discover new ways to regulate emotions. You’ll leave with a ready-to-use toolbox of stress-busting strategies you can immediately apply for yourself and share with children, coworkers, or the communities you support.

Our trauma-informed, inclusive approach invites everyone to show up just as they are—no prior experience needed. Together, we create a welcoming space where emotional wellness feels engaging, empowering, and sustainable.

Includes a comprehensive training manual with clear guidance to keep using and sharing the practices long after the workshop ends.

“Julie’s training gave our staff practical tools to calm their bodies, focus, and feel grounded. We saw a dramatic shift—students were calmer, kinder, and more ready to learn. Our climate surveys improved, office referrals went down, and the whole school felt more positive.”
