What are REFRESH Adult Training Sessions all about?

​

Would you like to become a more confident & effective co-regulator of other’s needs?

​

• In a world were being busy is worn as a badge of honour & burnout rates are rising every year, we are told that to continue to help co-regulate others needs, we first need to fill up our own cup & take time out for ourselves, but how on earth do we do this & where do we start?

​

      REFRESH is an acronym to stand for:

 

     Relax

     Empower knowledge & skills

     Friendship

     Reflect

     Emotional Regulation

     Self-regulation of all 8 senses

     Hammocks & Grounding strategies.

​

• While co-regulation strategies are proven to be the most effective methods to support others needs, the truth is that co-regulating others emotional, sensory, communication & behaviour needs, as well as providing for their other physical needs 24/7 is exhausting!

 

• Following neuroscience research & theory, as well as practical experience as an experienced SEN teacher & fellow neurodiverse thinker, I have designed REFRESH to empower us as busy adults to reduce our burn out rates & take crucial but positive & productive time out for ourselves in nature to feel more refreshed and empowered to deal with life’s many daily trials. The nature in our private woodland has always been my best healer & self-regulator so I wanted to provide adult sessions to share this magical space with others.

 

• Each 2-hour session provides time in our private woodland setting to gradually explore all aspects of REFRESH.

​

​

Included in Price= woodland snack or breakfast (Time dependant), free-flowing hot drinks, woodland craft, chilling in the woods on a hammock & some time to enhance your knowledge of neuroscience theory based approaches & sensory & emotional self-regulation theory while also prioritising time out for ourselves as busy adults.
