  • IT'S A NERVOUS SYSTEM THING

    This 4-week course is for parents, teachers, therapists and others who care for children. There may be pressure to “co-regulate” our children as if we can just snap our fingers and make it happen!

    This course will help you to feel safer in your body, more connected to your instincts, and better able to respond to stress confidently in real time. Be embodied in a way that children will feel.

  • Why the nervous system?

    We are co-regulating with everyone and everything all the time. The child’s nervous system is not fully developed, so they need their grown ups to complete the picture. But, most of us never learned nervous system skills ourselves!

    Your embodiment is a super power. With a toned nervous system and somatic skills, you will be present in a way that requires less thought, fewer words, and less struggle. You’ll also experience more fun, PLAY + connection <3

  • How does this course work?

    I’ll guide you through a gentle approach that is trauma informed, relational, and attachment minded. You will learn to speak the language of your body with a present moment practice. I will incorporate the foundational principles of Play Therapy. If more adults play therapeutically, fewer kids will need Play Therapy.

  • Some more details...

    We will show up weekly for 75 minutes of somatic practice and some theory. You will walk away with a basic understanding of the autonomic nervous system, ways to work with the particulars of your system, and simple ways to spot where kids are in their systems. You are welcome to take this class with a partner or co-parent on the same Zoom screen.

This is an intimate class environment with limited capacity.

Why I Created This Course

As a mama, play therapist, educator and somatic practitioner, I saw that learning the felt sense language of my body (nervous system) allows me to be more present and emotionally flexible for my child, child-clients and students alike.

Guiding children to thrive is deep, sacred, hard work. As caregivers, we need as much support as we can gather. As the body’s natural alarm system, the nervous system is giving us important information at all times. Your nervous system can be your resource. But you need to know how it works, and how it feels. And then you need to know how to work with it.

Nervous System for Parents + Teachers (caregivers, therapists, and others) is crafted with my whole heart. This is a place to build your capacity to respond with grace and dexterity without compromising yourself.

I am confident that you will walk away from this course knowing what your nervous system feels like, and how to practice to support more grounded embodiment and presence. You will also know how to track other nervous systems, how to play therapeutically, and practical tools to share these skills with the children in your life.

This course is for you if…

  • You want to feel more settled and in your body with (your) children

  • You want to feel more safeness and transmit that wordlessly to (your) children

  • You want to play in a way that allows your child to process stuck emotions and adverse experiences in their language (play!)

  • You are tired of feeling exhausted, stressed, depressed when things are hard, and anxious even sometimes when things are going smoothly

  • You've been hearing about nervous system regulation and it's calling you

  • You have a somatics practice and you want to integrate it into your parenting or classroom

  • You know some basics of co-regulation and you want to learn more in an attachment minded community of other people who love children :)

  • "I am so grateful I took the nervous system repair class. After a decade of feeling like I was in constant fight or flight, I can finally feel my body, mind (and dare I say spirit?) relaxing. I find myself more present with my kids at home, and using the tools I learned in class throughout my day to find little moments of peace amidst the chaos. I can’t thank Davie-Blue enough for this tremendous learning opportunity!"

    Erin Lautsch, Mom, Actress & Teacher

  • "Working with Davie-Blue showed me how to set healthy boundaries with children while still being kind. I've gotten out of my head and am a better improviser, and let inspiration and the children show the way. I feel safer and happier as a teacher because of this practice."

    Jelena Stulic, Waldorf Early Childhood Educator

  • "Learning and practicing with Davie-Blue has helped me to regulate my system so I can see families back to back and bear witness to their story and not a story I'm telling myself or holding in my body that doesn't serve them."

    Mollie Royer, Mama & Social Worker

  • “Davie-Blue's intuition has led to…shifts that opened more space for me to feel safer and go deeper in my work. [She] is so in touch with play both with children and within the human process and helps me further develop my own capacity for play which has been a great resource. There are specific play motifs that Davie-Blue has suggested that continue, years later, to be games that we turn to. The connection we gain through playing is incredible.”

    Abby Armstrong, Mother & Athlete

FAQs

Can I take this course if I’m not a parent or teacher?

Yes! This course is supportive for anyone looking to learn to co-regulate and repair the nervous system. The framework of this particular course is built with those who care for children in mind. If you have questions about this, please reach out to me: [email protected]

Are the sessions recorded?

Yes! All four (75 minute) sessions will be recorded and uploaded to our learning platform within 24 hours. Recordings will be available to download and watch until May 1st, 2025.

Can we work one-on-one?

Yes :) I work with clients privately. Navigate to my “work with me” page to see more.

What if I’m not free on Mondays? Do I need to join live?

You don’t need to join the live call to access all the video content. You can watch anytime up until a week after the course (May 1st, 2025).

Will there be homework?

Not in the typical sense, no. Our weekly live sessions will be rich and transformative. You will be left with lots to digest and integrate throughout your week. There will be take away practices from the first class and suggestions for things to try out, but the actual session is a real time experience of alchemy. We all have busy lives. Just show up!

Will there be breakout rooms?

No, all sessions will be together in the main Zoom room. You can keep your camera on or off, though turning your camera on for interactive moments is encouraged to build a sense of safety and connection. There will be time for a whole group Q&A at the end of each class.

What are the accessibility measures?

I seek to make my offerings as accessible as possible. There will be live transcriptions during our sessions and made available with the recording. If there is an additional need you are willing to share this with me, I am most grateful and available for that.

Is this a parenting class?

This class is created to speak to the specific needs of those in leadership roles with children but it is not a “parenting” class. Because somatics, play therapy and attachment theory have profound connections to the lives of children, you may feel a natural shift in how you show up with children <3

Is there a payment plan option?

This is an option - please reach out to me via email to arrange for this: [email protected]

What is the refund policy?

A full refund is permitted up until March 1st, 2025. A half refund is available until the day of our first class (March 10th, 2025).

Will this class change my life?

Great question ;) I believe that this class will indeed change your life! These are the practices that have changed my life and this class is one I wish had existed decades ago. It’s rooted in 25 years as an educator, as well as a personal creative and contemplation practice. If you want to be moved by this experience, I trust that you will be. I cannot wait to share this with you!

What is the investment?

The Early Bird price is $277 USD available until we start. Payment plans allow you to break these up into two equal, monthly payments. Sliding scale is always available for those who cannot pay full price. Please email me: [email protected] to arrange.

What if I live in a country with lower income, like Croatia?

Inspired by somatic therapist and educator Linda Thai, I am honoring an international pricing structure. For instance, as a number 2 country, the fee for those living in Croatia is $150 USD. Those who live in group 3 will pay $100 USD, and those in group 4 the rate is $50 USD. If you live outside of group 1, please email me to arrange. See list of countries here.
