We explore the Competencies of Soical-Emotional learning which include self awareness, self management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
Empowerment
We all deserve to feel empowered and celebrate our wellbeing. Through a strengths based, client centered approach we work with individuals using a challenge by choice method. This allows for the clients needs to be met all while working in an adaptable and safe environment.

Embodiment is a practice where we take how our minds, bodies, and spirit functions as a whole. We look at our wellbeing from a “whole” perspective and notice how our movement, self talk, and cognition affect us in day to day life.
