  • From Overwhelmed to Regulated: Emotional Tools for Moms

    This workshop is for the moms who are doing the inner work—healing, growing, showing up for themselves—and who also want tools to help guide their kids through emotional overwhelm with more confidence, presence, and connection.

  • Healing Generational Patterns Workshop

    History doesn’t have to repeat itself. You’re here because you know that and you’re ready to make a change. With a little learning and self-compassion, we can choose to change the cycle.

  • Befriending Your Nervous System Workshop

    If you learned growing up that your emotions were too big—if no one in your life taught you that it was okay to feel—if you’ve always felt that there had to be an easier way, but no one was there to show you—HERE is where you start.

Sometimes we need to unlearn things. Not because they’re bad or broken, but because this way of being is a remnant from the past. With a little extra knowledge we can find a deeper level of knowing. And from that place we can practice engaging in our life in a new way that allows deeper connection and empowered ease.

When big emotions hit…tools to stay grounded & guide your kids

You know the moment—your kid goes from zero to a hundred in an instant. One second everything is fine, the next you're in the middle of a full-blown meltdown, and you're doing everything in your power to keep your cool…but you feel it slipping.

This workshop is for the moms who are doing the inner work—healing, growing, showing up for themselves—and who also want tools to help guide their kids through emotional overwhelm with more confidence, presence, and connection.

Together with other moms, also in the trenches, we’ll learn:

  • How to spot the early warning signs of a meltdown

  • How to identify your own emotional and body responses when your child’s behavior escalates

  • 3+ practical, evidence-based tools to de-escalate behavior before it explodes

You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of the behavior escalation cycle in children—what to look for before the blow-up, how to regulate yourself during it, and what to do after to support repair and connection. From toddlers to teens, the skills that you’ll learn can be applied across the parenting lifespan. We’ll combine expert guidance with collaborative mom-to-mom reflection, for a truly transformative evening.

This is for you if:

  • You’re a mom with a full plate and no time for fluff, while also believing there is a better way to handle escalations

  • You’re on your own healing journey and want to parent from a more grounded place

  • You’re tired of repeating the same reaction patterns and want real change

  • You crave a safe, supportive space with other moms who get it

Join us for a powerful, in-person workshop blending learning with mom-to-mom community.

Healing Generational Patterns: Whole-hearted Parenting

I swore I’d do things differently with my kids. I promised myself. And now I catch myself doing and saying the exact same things that my parents did…

Sound familiar? Ever notice those same phrases that you heard growing up seeping into your household now? Without even noticing, it’s coming out of your mouth when you feel frustrated, fed up, or overwhelmed.

History doesn’t have to repeat itself. You’re here because you know that and you’re ready to make a change. With a little learning and self-compassion, we can choose to change the cycle.

In this live, online course, we’ll utilize didactic, experiential, and guided self-reflection to increase awareness of how generational cycles perpetuate and learn to become intentional about how we show up for our children and ourselves.

If you’ve ever thought,
They remind me of myself at that age
and then felt a sinking sadness or worry… This class is for you.

In this class you’ll learn to:

  • Notice and disrupt hurtful generational patterns

  • Utilize nervous system regulation to support yourself and your child

  • Engage mindfully with your kids from a place of grounded self-compassion

Let’s get curious about why we feel the way we feel and why we do the things we do.
Take the first step in healing your own inner child through showing up as the parent you always wanted to be.

Befriending Your Nervous System and Releasing the Past

Panic? Rage? Numbing of one kind or another?
What happens to your system when you flip to autopilot?
Do you ever wonder why that is? Or where that came from?

Do you ever feel like you can see the patterns but you just can’t stop the loop? Do you look at your family and think, “Well, I know I don’t want that” but you don’t see any examples of what you DO want? If you learned growing up that your emotions were too big—if no one in your life taught you that it was okay to feel—if you’ve always felt that there had to be an easier way, but no one was there to show you—HERE is where you start.

This class is for adults who are ready to cultivate an intentional relationship to emotions and who want to feel more control over their mind-body connection. In this live, online course, we’ll utilize didactic, experiential, and guided self-reflection to cultivate the compassion needed to befriend your nervous system. We’ll look at generational patterns and why they develop in order to gain awareness of why we do the things we do. And we’ll practice gently slowing down to reorient your nervous system to rest, comfort and soothing.

In this introductory-level class you’ll:

  • Learn the science of emotions and nervous system regulation

  • Get curious about generational patterns and why they are the way they are

  • Practice grounding and mindfulness techniques to reorient to safety

  • "The work we have done together and the skills she has taught me have helped me grow so much and improved my quality of life so I can be better for myself and a better mom. I’m forever grateful!"

    -H (client and mother)

  • "Cassandra has been a wonderful communicator and supportive of me as a concerned parent, and more importantly, supportive of my daughter. My teen has the utmost confidence in Cassandra and has improved tremendously."

    -Susan (parent)

  • "For the last 9 years I’ve witnessed Cassandra work alongside children and families thoughtfully and compassionately, supporting them alongside their journey of personal growth and development. Her passion is evident and highlighted in all facets of her work. "

    -Alison Carr, LICSW

  • "Cassandra was a truly lifechanging therapist for me. She is so easy to talk to, warm empathetic, and funny. She celebrated my wins, commiserated with me during tough times. She gave me important tools to use, and I always looked forward to ending with some breathing or mindfulness. While my anxiety caused me to get a little nervous leading up to an appointment, once she popped up on screen, lightness and ease instantly takes over. She is truly an incredible person who made therapy helpful, engaging, and fun."
