Children before 6-7 years old live in a different brainwave state than adults that is based on picture consciousness so stories - especially oral stories told by heart - are very effective ways to truly reach a child and to support healing and growth.
Dr. Monika Herwig works with parents to tame their own anxiety from a naturopathic and mindfulness perspective. As well she coaches parents to practically simplify their home life in a way that is aligned with what is important to them and takes into account what their child needs to feel connected, loved and happy.
For children, there is an easy, energetic way that Dr. Monika works to assess a child’s well-being on all levels (REBA test from Europe) that gives specifics as to where a child is at emotionally and mentally. It is a helpful, informative test for any parent looking to better able to specifically support what is up for their child (who often don’t have the capacity to articulate this).
