We want you and your child to feel safe and supported throughout your experience - this is actually the most important element of any treatment. To foster this experience of safety and respect:

 

A parent or guardian will attend all sessions, and assist with the family feeling safe and engaged;

 

Treatments will be done fully clothed;

​

Therapists will ask for consent;

​

All modalities use light touch, which helps the body to feel safe and avoids traumatization;

 

The therapist will explain what they are noticing and treating;

​

Children will spend some time on the treatment table and some time playing, especially as they initially get to know the therapist. Our brains learn best when we are playing, so this is perfect. The proportion of playing/lying quietly will depend on the individual child, their developmental stage, that day, what is needed for treatment, etc;

​

The therapist may want to treat you or other members of the family. This is because you are all part of the same family system, and can affect one another;

​

You may receive homework/exercises to do at home. This is to support ongoing changes, and to help you to feel empowered to help your child/family;

​

You will pay the therapist directly before the end of the session. We do not accept insurance, but there are often scholarships available.

If you feel that you will need a scholarship, please indicate at the time of scheduling so that there are no surprises.
