Perhaps our most significant training to date has come from the personal experience of living with children with anxiety. Learning how this can be managed and reduced significantly through the practises of lifestyle medicine, somatic work and behavioural coaching. And then helping countless families successfully understand how to manage the anxiety that they see in their own children in all the different ways it can manifest.
