There has been a rise in childhood anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other behavioral issues. While there is greater awareness, many of these concerns stem from an imbalance in the body-mind connection, leading to struggles in being able to process emotions and experiences in a healthy way. Katie Connolly, a renowned Somatic Parenting Coach, has been transforming families by harnessing the power of somatic practices to support parents and children in developing a deep and harmonious body-mind connection.
