When your child is struggling, it can be difficult to know what they need.
You may notice sensory overwhelm, emotional reactions, trouble settling, difficulty with touch, separation struggles, tension, shutdown, or behaviour that feels bigger than the situation.
You may also notice your own nervous system becoming activated as you try to help.
The MyShelle Method helps parents look beneath the behaviour and better understand what the child’s body and nervous system may be communicating.
The first step is a 30-minute consultation.
During the consultation, we may discuss:
You do not need to arrive with a diagnosis.
Begin with what you are seeing and what you want help understanding.
The first step is a 30-minute consultation.
We will discuss what you are noticing, when the reactions happen, what you have already tried, and what kind of support may be most helpful.
Begin with what you are seeing and what you want help understanding.
You are open to looking beyond behaviour alone.
You want to better understand the body beneath the reaction.
You are willing to learn practices that support connection rather than force compliance.
You want support for yourself as well as your child.
You are curious about sensory processing, primitive reflexes, body awareness, bonding, and nervous system development.
You are looking for a complementary approach that can work alongside medical, developmental, educational, or therapeutic care.
The MyShelle Method does not diagnose or treat medical, developmental, neurological, or mental health conditions.
It does not replace support from physicians, psychologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech-language pathologists, or other regulated professionals.
It offers hands-on parent interaction for collaborative nervous system education, somatosensory support, reflex-based observation, parent guidance, and body-based practices.
Collaboration with other professionals may be appropriate depending on the child’s needs.
Your child is not giving you a hard time simply because they want to.
Their body is likely having a hard time.
Understanding what is happening beneath the behaviour can change the way you respond, the way your child feels supported, and the way your family moves through difficult moments.
When your child becomes overwhelmed, your body may react as well.
You may feel tense, urgent, frustrated, unsure, or afraid you are doing something wrong.
This does not mean you are failing.
It may mean that both the child and the parent need support.
The work helps you understand what is happening in both nervous systems so you can respond with more clarity and less pressure.
Support may include:
The work is adapted to the child, the parent, and what is happening at home.
