Teen Nervous System & Resilience Group
Supporting Teens Through Regulation, Connection, and Nervous System Care
I want to share an idea I’ve been sitting with for a while. Something that comes from love, concern, and a deep desire to support our teens in a very real way.
So many of our kids are struggling right now. Anxiety, depression, emotional shutdown, overwhelm, and feeling disconnected from themselves and others have become far too common. I see it not only as a practitioner, but as a parent and someone deeply connected to families and teens in our community.
This is an invitation to participate in a small, supportive experiment, one rooted in nervous system regulation, connection, and practical tools teens can actually use in their daily lives.
This is not therapy, not a replacement for mental health care, and not “woo-woo.” It is an added layer of support designed to help teens feel safer in their bodies, more regulated emotionally, and less alone.
This offering is designed for teens who may be experiencing:
Anxiety or constant worry
Emotional shutdown or withdrawal
Depression or low mood
Nervous system overwhelm
Difficulty expressing feelings
Feeling disconnected from themselves or others

What the Program Includes
1. Weekly Group Connection (Once a Week)
A small group gathering where teens can:
Hang out in a relaxed, low-pressure environment
Eat snacks and connect socially
Talk if they want, or just be present
Learn practical, real-world tools for emotional regulation
The group time will gently focus on:
Understanding emotions without judgment
Learning how the nervous system works (in simple, non-clinical language)
Practical skills to calm anxiety, come out of shutdown, and manage overwhelm
Building self-awareness and resilience
There is no forced sharing.
Participation looks different for every teen, and all of it is respected.
2. Four Private Reiki Sessions with Me
(Once a Week for One Month)
Each teen will receive four individual Reiki / Energy Therapy sessions, scheduled weekly.
These sessions focus on:
Supporting nervous system regulation
Helping the body come out of chronic stress, anxiety, or shutdown
Creating a safe, non-verbal space for release and recalibration
Supporting emotional processing without requiring talking
Helping teens feel more grounded, present, and regulated
Teens remain fully clothed. Touch is always optional and consent-based.
These sessions are especially helpful for teens who struggle to put feelings into words.
Reiki works in an accumulative way, much like physical therapy.
Each session builds on the last, allowing the nervous system to gradually settle and respond.

A Note About Safety & Scope
This program is meant to support, not replace:
Therapy
Medical care
Crisis services
If a teen is in immediate danger or experiencing active suicidal ideation,
appropriate mental health care and crisis support are essential and encouraged.
This offering exists as a supportive layer, not a standalone solution.

Why I’m Offering This
I’m offering this because I care deeply about our kids. Because I see how much they’re holding. And because I believe regulation, connection, and safety can change a lot, quietly, over time.
This is an experiment rooted in compassion, curiosity, and care. My hope is to create a space where teens feel just a little more supported, a little more steady, and a little less alone.
If this feels like something your teen might benefit from, I’d love to talk more.
Please text or email me.
About Cost
Because this is a small, invitation-only experiment being offered to friends and community families I care deeply about, the cost is intentionally kept very low. This is a friends-and-family rate, not reflective of the true value of the services included. If you have others who might be interested in joining, please contact me first.
What’s Included
4 weekly small-group teen gatherings (snacks included)
4 private Reiki/Energy Therapy sessions (one per week)
Investment
$428 total for the full month that includes all group sessions + all private sessions
If cost is still a concern, please reach out. The goal here is support, not strain. I want this to be accessible. If your teen would benefit and cost feels like a barrier, please talk to me. We’ll figure it out together.
_______________________________________________________________
If you are interested in being part of the March 2026 group, please contact me for details and to get your kiddo on the schedule for their weekly one-on-one sessions.
Once we have a group of kids together, we will discuss the weekly group meeting for a time/day that works for everyone.
Last date to register your kid for the month of March is Saturday, February 21st. As for payments, please talk to me privately. I am open to payments, trade, and discounted terms depending on each individual’s situation.
Please do not let money be the reason why you don’t sign up your child. 🙏
