I'm a holistic therapist and mother of 2 myself (aged 14yrs & 7yrs). In my profession I'm trained in identifying body language, Linguistics, facial ques and more to establish the needs and requirements of those I'm caring for. This is helpful when a child can't articulate their needs through language.

I am a Master Reiki Teacher - this means my energy is calm, inviting and assists children to regulate themselves. If they are injured, hurt, sad, anxious etc it is an extra resource i can utilise to help them feel better and teach them how to connect powerfully to their bodies and needs.

I am a NLP/TLT/HYPNO practitioner which has assisted me to develop exceptional interpersonal skills, listening skills, rapport building, identifying issues and finding solutions or supporting while someone experiences themselves through being witnessed and validated. The language/Linguistic skills when working with children are extremely helpful when they are feeling sad, anxious, angry, or generally emotionally reactive/triggered -- it can be used to assist the child identify the core emotion or belief, learn about it, and release it safely. It helps restore calm even in a meltdown. Cultivating safety and learning inner trust, self regulation skills and safe expression. I do not shame behaviour, as I understand it's not the child it's a reaction to something else going on internally stimulating an external expression or representation of it.

I am a EFT tapper and Access Conscious Bars (ACB) Practitioner-- how this can help your child is if they are in distress where language isn't possible and they require emotional support and assistance to regulate EFT is tapping on the meridian energy centres of the body which stimulates release of trauma, emotions, beliefs or patterns. Similar with ACB though this is applying light pressure to specific zones upon the head. Which is a non invasive, gentle and effective way to help a child experiencing a reactive or depressive episode. It also helps cultivate health and general well-being.

I also specialise in empowerment and work with many people in my field to motivate, inspire, educate and teach people to love themselves. This could be beneficial to your child if they have mental health considerations, body dysmorphia (something I personally went through) and other personal challenges. When babysitting I have a focus not on the child's body, but on who they are on the inside. Helping them recognise their own brilliance and encourage them to be all of who they are that lights them up inside. This works for babies too.

As well as my training, I am a child mandated reporter, have a clear criminal history, have first aid, mental health first aid and working with all kinds of people check.
