Our Methods
Our holistic practice integrates a variety of therapeutic modalities. We provide compassionate guidance to help you explore your emotions, process experiences, and nurture meaningful relationships.
At Nurturing Nature, our unique therapy methods support both children and caregivers through play, art, movement, and imagination. These expressive tools help children process emotions and build resilience, while offering caregivers insight and opportunities for connection.
Rooted in relationship, our methods honor each child’s unique rhythm and also strengthens the parent-child bond with Nurture Neuroscience, warmth and practices aimed to enhance attunement and co-regulation.
How We Work
-
Expressive Arts Therapy integrates creative mediums, such as the visual arts, storytelling, music and movement as a way to to process trauma, explore emotions, reduce stress enhance self awareness and present moment awareness and increase positive relations with others.
At its heart, Expressive Arts Therapy is a relational, reparative approach. It mirrors the nurturing dynamics of secure attachment—offering space for self-expression, co-regulation, and healing. For families navigating emotional challenges, it can be a powerful path toward trust, connection, and growth.

Nurture Neuroscience is the work of Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum, PhD and is the study of how early life experiences, relationships, and environments shape brain development and emotional well-being. It explores the connection between caregiving, attachment, and neural growth, emphasizing the role of supportive interactions in fostering resilience, mental health, and cognitive development.
Nurture Neuroscience turns neuroscience into accessible, evidence-based guidance for parenting. It emphasizes that nurturing care—from infancy through early childhood—not only shapes brain structure but also supports parents in showing up with confidence, regulation, and connection.
This approach provides families with both the science and the practical tools they need to raise emotionally thriving children and live with more grounded joy and resilience.
-
Restorative Attachment is a therapeutic approach that focuses on healing and strengthening emotional bonds, particularly for individuals who have experienced early relational trauma or attachment disruptions. It emphasizes creating secure, nurturing relationships that foster trust, emotional regulation, and a sense of safety, promoting healthy connections and personal growth.
Restorative Attachment therapy invites families into a new story—one where relationships can heal, trust can grow, and connection becomes the foundation for lifelong well-being.
-
Sensory Integration is the process by which the brain organizes and interprets sensory information from the body and environment to create appropriate responses.
Sensory Integration Therapy helps individuals, particularly those with sensory processing challenges, regulate and respond to sensory input effectively, improving coordination, focus, and emotional regulation.
When a child struggles with sensory processing, it can affect the whole family. Sensory Integration Therapy supports caregivers by:
Helping them understand why certain behaviors are happening
Offering strategies to reduce daily stress and overstimulation
Creating more ease in transitions, routines, and family outings
Supporting co-regulation—so children and parents can feel more connected and in sync
-
Somatic Embodiment & Regulation Strategies are body-centered practices, such as yoga, that help individuals connect with their physical sensations to manage stress, process emotions, and restore balance. These strategies focus on increasing body awareness, regulating the nervous system, and fostering resilience through movement, breathwork, and mindfulness techniques.
Somatic work empowers children and families to experience safety not just cognitively, but felt in the body. When the body feels safe, the heart opens—and the nervous system can rest, grow, and connect.
These strategies aren’t just tools—they’re invitations to come home to ourselves and to one another.
