SPECIAL CARE FOR SPECIAL KIDS
I AM HERE TO SHARE WITH YOU WHAT I HAVE LEARNED AND GAINED ON MY HEALING JOURNEY WITH SOMATIC EXPERIENCING, MFR, AND YOGA.
You can soothe the symptoms of parenting trauma even as the worst of circumstances persist in your home. I am here to support you and to offer you tools that can help you to renegotiate traumatic experiences, even as it is unfolding all around you.
Together, we will help you and your loved ones find “pockets of peace” that are always available. We will excavate and find resources that you hadn’t realized you always carry within you- that are always available to you.
Robin offers her professional training coupled with the unique insight born of her personal experience as a mother to a special needs child with Down syndrome and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS/PANDAS) to accommodate all families and children.
HOW IT WORKS?
Without appropriate modifications and thoughtful considerations, children with special needs may find it difficult to otherwise access the therapeutic interventions offered by Robin. She works closely with families to customize and adapt sessions so that all children can benefit from treatment. Sessions can include MFR, Somatic Experiencing, Yoga, and/ or health coaching.
Modifications include (but are not limited to) house calls or abbreviated sessions to accommodate shorter attention spans or sensory limitations. Robin is resourceful, creative, and determined to include your children in the process of designing a treatment that meets them where they are and makes them feel safe and seen and held. And she always meets them with patience and calm, never rushing or forcing them to receive a session before they feel completely ready and in control.
TRAUMA THERAPY FOR SPECIAL NEEDS PARENTS
I understand from experience what it is to parent while suffering from PTSD and C-PTSD symptoms. I have known what it means to feel all alone in the fight to protect the most vulnerable children. I have lived through the exhaustion of having to relentlessly research and advocate in the face of constant opposition. I know how it feels to have nowhere to turn for help.
I know you are weary. I know you’re afraid. I know you think that your life will never look or feel any easier and that there are times when you just don’t want to do it all for one more day. I know how much you grieve the loss of the healthy child that you had expected to raise, or perhaps once had.
“We all have people in our lives, who change the course of our paths in the most positive of ways. Robin is this person for me. ”
She embodies compassion, love, and wisdom. She reintroduced me to concepts that I’d known deep within but had somehow forgotten. She listens, she cares, and she meets you right where you’re at. I am unbelievably grateful for her guidance.
