A Nervous System-Based Parenting Membership For Highly Sensitive, Deeply Feeling, Cycle-Breaking & Neurodivergent Families
A holistic, family-centered, nervous system & trauma-informed parenting membership, educational resource & healing community designed specifically with the needs of highly sensitive, deeply feeling, cycle-breaking & neurodivergent families in mind.
Honestly, it's everything I needed, and some days still need, as a neurodivergent mother, with some pretty big childhood traumas of my own, who is parenting two wonderfully sensitive, deeply feeling little humans, who, let's be honest, don't love to sleep, but do love to see the world in ways that never cease to amaze me.
At it's core, Raising Us is about raising ourselves alongside our kids, bringing awareness to the healing work we, as parents & caregivers, need to do first, so that we can intentionally & compassionately access the tools we need to raise our children in ways that leave our whole family feeling more connected, resilient & empowered.
Raising Us is truly a one-of-a-kind experience and I can say with confidence that if you show up, and do the work, it will radically transform the way you feel about parenting.

I mean, who doesn't want to thrive?! Right?! Thriving sounds like all kinds of amazing. But if my own parenting journey has taught me anything, it's that, for many of us, parenting is often SO MUCH HARDER than we ever imagined it would be.
And listen, I had the benefit of all of my training and education as an occupational therapist and a trauma therapist, plus 15 years of doing my own healing work before I ever became a parent. I was actually very well prepared. As prepared as anyone could be. And it still knocked me sideways.
Parenting Is Hard.
Parenting children with bigger needs is hard. Parenting as a more sensitive-wired parent is hard. Parenting when we can't get on the same page as our partners is hard. Parenting amidst the overwhelm of trying to support our children's needs in a way that feels aligned, to us and to them, while also tending to our own very real needs, without triggering the crap out of one another at the same time, is HARD.
Parenting is hard for thousands of different reasons.
And even more so when we're trying to figure it all out on our own.

While Raising Resilient Kids
We All Want To Thrive
You want to parent your child in a way that feels deeply aligned & intentional, tuning out all that noise, all those "shoulds", and instead tune into your intuition, your deep sense of knowing, while opening yourself up to learning brand new ways of seeing your child and yourself, and understanding nervous system sensitivity in a whole new light.
Maybe your parenting journey hasn't gone as planned; maybe things have been harder than you ever imagined; maybe staying regulated, grounded, centered, amidst those difficult moments has felt harder than humanly possible; or maybe there's grief & loss that needs to be witnessed & reflected back to you. This is a space where we'll peel back the layers of our parenting journeys, unearth our strength & resilience, and bring more connection, joy & ease back into our lives & our relationships with those we love the most.
One of the best assets Raising Us has to offer you is not me, but all the amazing parents & families you'll meet along the way. Whether in our Facebook Group or on our live calls, you'll have plenty of opportunities to connect, share & grow together.
This program is built to ensure you take action in your daily life and actually see the results you're hoping to see. Whether that's setting appropriate boundaries, with your child or loved ones, letting go of any lingering guilt & shame, bringing playfulness & joy into your relationship with your kids or partner, or staying regulated and compassionate in those really hard moments.
Raising Us is different than most parenting programs out there because it understands that living in the world with a more sensitive nervous system requires a more holistic, nervous system, body-based, trauma-informed approach. Which is why that framework will infuse all that we do during our time together.

Sometimes the healing we really need comes from those small courageous moments when we allow ourselves to be held up & seen by others
Meet Natalie
I think like so many of us, I came into parenthood with an idea of what it would all look like. And, well, spoiler alert, it looked nothing at all like what I imagined!
When you join Raising Us, you don't just get the benefit of my professional knowledge, but you also get the mom who is on this parenting & healing journey right alongside you.
I'm a Trauma Therapist, Occupational Therapist, Parenting Coach, mental Health Advocate & Mom to two Exceptional boys
Generally you will need around 2-4 hours per month to move through the educational content and the Coaching/Q+A call. Additional time may be needed in the months that we have a bonus call with a professional on a selected topic. However, all live calls are recorded so that they can be watched when you have time.
Some parents may prefer to take more time, and move through the content at a slower more manageable pace. Either way, you have ongoing access to the online material, and the Q&A recordings, so there is no need to rush.
Because of the nature of the material in this course, and the way it's being presented, there are no refunds available.
This program is not a replacement for therapy, nor is it considered mental health or clinical support. This program is considered psycho-educational parent coaching, but is a great additional support to therapy.
Absolutely! You can do the program together. I just ask that you purchase one membership per family and do not share the materials otherwise.
The program will begin Monday October 2nd. Given that this is a brand new membership community & educational resource, all content is brand new and will be released ongoing. Once you login you'll see a monthly schedule for the month of October - where you'll find all the calls, zoom links, content release dates, and more. Every month a new monthly schedule will be available for you to see.
Frequently Asked Questions
Natalie is a registered occupational therapist & psychotherapist based in Toronto, Canada. She has done extensive training, including: CBT, DBT, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, Postpartum Support International, Emotion Focused Therapy, CPT, Sensory Integration Therapy & more
You absolutely can. While Raising Us is geared towards parents and caregivers, and the unique challenges parenting can bring up for us, anyone who finds this content useful is welcome.
Yes, absolutely! This is a wonderful resource for anyone working with children, parents or families and the quantity and quality of the content I'll be offering, along with the opportunity to ask questions in the Q&A calls, makes it a no brainer of an investment if you're interested in bring more nervous system & trauma-informed tools into the incredible work you're doing in the world.
Raising Us was intentionally created to support families with kids of all ages. All of the foundational principles you learn here are relevant to kids (and grown-ups) of all ages because the principles stay the same no matter our age. Inside the coaching/Q&A calls, and on calls with our guest speakers, we'll have plenty of opportunities to dive deeper into the specific challenges you might facing related to the developmental stage your child is in.
Yes, all live calls will be scheduled at different times each month to accommodate different time zones and schedules. All calls will also be recorded and uploaded into a membership portal so that they can be accessed at any time.
At the moment there is no scholarship program for Raising Us.
Unfortunately no. First, the content all builds on itself. We can't understand how to support the emotional resilience & regulation of our child or ourself if we don't understand the why behind dysregulation to begin with. We can't advocate for your child or troubleshoot their challenges in school or sleep if we don't first have a really good understanding of what it means to be highly sensitive or neurodivergent. Second, anytime we create a course or membership there will always be some content that's not relevant to you. That's why it's priced so affordably. The only way to get true targetted support that only meets your needs is to pay a much higher price for 1:1 support.
