Regulated Parents in Action
Come move, play, and learn with us! In this hands-on parent training series, we will dive into strategies to help regulate our children through the power of our own self-regulation. We will provide education and experiential opportunities
to help us understand how to use ourselves and the parent-child relationship to regulate our children. Each week we
will cover a topic that incorporates the use of sensory regulation, mindfulness, and yoga to positively influence our regulation so that we can approach parenting from a place
of fullness and abundance rather than emptiness and burnout. Parents will have practical tools to incorporate right away into daily life.
When: Tuesdays
Time: 6:00-7:00 pm

Circle of Security® Parenting™ Group
The Circle of Security® Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened and helps us make sense of what our children are really asking from us. This is a 10-week course that utilizes video clips to present information about The Circle as well as examples of parents using The Circle with their children. Groups are a mix of watching video clips to learn new concepts and discussing and reflecting on our own experiences. This program is appropriate for all parents, those looking to learn a bit more, those who are struggling in their relationship with their child, as well as new parents, foster and adoptive parents!

With a background in Anthropology and a lifelong fascination with embodied practices, Abby brings a unique perspective to her practice. Abby was inspired to pursue occupational therapy because of her grandmother, who went back to graduate school later in life and developed a novel movement-based program for treating Parkinson’s patients.

Abby also worked as a research assistant, contributing to projects focusing on workplace well-being and agency for people with disabilities.
Abby is drawn to working with children and families because of the creativity and complexity that the work involves. Abby especially loves to treat children who struggle with sensory processing, and those who are twice exceptional. In addition to experience in outpatient pediatrics, Abby has worked in a special education school and at a community center for survivors of traumatic brain injuries.
