She teaches all caregivers, parents, and educators to develop positive and heart-centered relationships and to help nurture and grow emotional stability and social connection with their children. As Parents of special needs, and all children, growing and maintaining positive and healthy relationships throughout childhood and into adulthood is imperative.

Even Nurtured Heart felt like that in the beginning, until the essence of this approach started seeping through, and her whole evaluation scale flipped on its head. Now the success of her parenting doesn't lay in her never making mistakes, but rather in her ample moments of showing up in greatness.

My sister Chanie grew up with a keen awareness that she was different. Her experience in the world and the way she felt her emotions seemed so much more acute and profound than most. And moving through it meant a lot more processing and sharing than what most people were comfortable. The good news is that we now know that different isn't bad, and as a highly sensitive adult, Chanie is using her Somatic therapy practice to help other's learn to embrace their own intense experience with empathy, love and compassion. Listen to this incredible episode understanding the HSP and how Somatic Experiencing can be an incredible asset in healing.

My brother Avrohom intuitively knew how to effectively listen and create a safe space for healing and change for others. But his way wasn't always popular or accepted by the main stream "helpers" he was exposed to. Listen to his journey of following his intuition, finding success, and learning that modern progressive research actually supports and validates his natural approach. Best of all, learn about what makes this approach so effective. To work with Avrohom please reach out to him at Zanvill@gmail.com or message him at 201-870-1770

Listen to the empowering and vulnerable account of Sarah's choice to choose to "fear-less" and be courageous, even when she felt like the most hypocritical parent out there. And in the process she opened doors she never thought possible with her blended bio and adopted family. Through thick and thin they never lost the relationship, and to this day, well into adulthood, they are still a close family. Sarah is a role model of choosing family over external judgment, the present over the outcomes, relationships over control, and courage over fear. Thank you Sarah for inspiring us all!
