More than ever, we need to foster relationships in which we all feel safe, seen, and accepted, for the sake of healing ourselves, our families and communities. But that won’t be possible until we return to our bodies, because the body is the source of our compassionate power. So I am committed to sharing accessible, pragmatic tools that help families, and their support systems, embody the kind of enduring love and resilience that is rooted in a felt-sense of support, worth, and belonging, and practice and create the the loving community we long to belong to. I help you explore new ways of being in relationship with yourself, your children and community, so you trust you can take wise action on behalf of others, whilst receiving care and nourishment for yourself, even through the toughest moments https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/1594828228621-Q3P64WBR67L4NDIQEO5D/Eden+and+Kirstie+Embodied+Parenting+.jpg My Vision - Courage to be accountable Embodied parenting recognises the necessity for relational, collective, care and reclaims parenting as co-creative and intuitive; we create our experiences together, we are contagious. We sense, regulate, resonate and change each other at a neuro-psycho-biological level. We quite literally live inside and revise each other’s brains and bodies. So the responsibility falls on all of us to learn, and engage in, collective and personal practices that foster interdependence, mutuality and inclusiveness, and to build relational muscles for embodied attunement and empathy whilst increasing our bandwidth for difference and distress. And if we are truly committed to peaceful parenting, we must gently, courageously, face towards ourselves, and hold each other accountable for the ways we subtly (and not so subtly) oppress, aggress, shame and act harshly towards ourselves and others, and together practice and create the loving communities we long to belong to. https://www.kirstieseaborne.com/meet-kirstie daily 0.75 2024-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/1593030375556-B9WF5Z3C38GVFYDJMK6M/kirstie+seaborne+in+kitchen.jpeg.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/1595154483884-X2YV1UIX2XRUZUM510DB/kirstie+and+kids+in+car.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/1593031414871-N7PDKUQATCBS5ZGVVD9D/erin.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/45e78dbe-1552-479b-aa70-343de16240d5/UnmaskingParentingKirstieSeaborne.png Meet Kirstie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/2f4afa2f-33ca-474e-a710-86afa72b5c30/Going+Boldly.png Meet Kirstie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/b5c94bcc-6948-4ec5-b6de-dc1cba14f4fb/MumEdenSolsticeEve.png Meet Kirstie https://www.kirstieseaborne.com/my-approach daily 0.75 2020-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/1595152762751-O4IAN0HHGROEAT6FO2Z6/embodied+families+dad+and+son.jpeg My Approach - Empowered, attuned, intuitive I don’t offer one size fits all solutions to behaviour, because parenting happens within the wider context of relationship, culture and community. The extent to which we feel safe, supported and connected, impacts on how we respond to our children in the moment. So I help you gain a unique perspective and insight behind your own and your child’s behaviours that takes account of the bigger picture, transforms the way you feel about yourself and your parenting, and gives you the knowledge and skills necessary to respond confidently to your child’s needs. All parents and professionals are welcome, especially those who feel at risk of mutual defensiveness, escalation and compassion fatigue due to their child’s severely dysregulated behaviour (including child to parent violence) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/1594672021350-V3DD69KGSFUC5XMXW9SK/embodied+parenting+testimonial.jpeg.png My Approach - “I had the privilege of working with Kirstie several times and I am blown away by her work.

That’s why we explore the kinds of rhythms, rituals and practices that turn your home into an oasis of dignity, love and belonging, even through chaos and uncertainty. I help you source the kind of deep nourishment that soothes and replenishes you, and nurtures and sustains your relationships, even through conflict and confrontation. I help you find and hold on to your senses, courage and inspiration, even when everyone else is losing theirs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/1593893465308-WB06B8NWX4YIDLNPPX19/Sally+Kirstie+Embodiment+practice.jpeg.png Personal Coaching - Be the parent you aspire to be Parenting involves our head, heart, longings, loves and losses. All is welcome in our work. Whilst I don’t offer diagnosis or therapy, I do offer a soft place for your shame, rage and fears to land, whilst celebrating your unique gifts, and re-sparking your aliveness, spirit, and satisfaction. We won't excavate past wounds, but we will hold defensive patterns with curiosity as they arise, honouring their protective power and influence on the present, whilst learning to embody new choices and ways of being. Then you can parent from a place of authenticity, congruence, and integrity.

At least for some of the time! So when our child consistently responds to our love, care and authority with control, attack or rejection, it’s no wonder our own attachment and nervous systems get triggered. Without sufficient support, our brain’s automatic self-protective defences take charge, and we end up escalating rather than easing the situation. We behave in ways that violate our values, and who believe ourselves to be. Over time, our child’s dysregulation, trauma, rage, and shame is fuelled by our own. The effect is multiplied when we feel misunderstood, under-resourced or under-valued (which is common in our blame, shame and punishment obsessed culture). Eventually, our brain’s caregiving systems shut down - a term that Dan Hughes and Jonathan Baylin refer to as ‘blocked care’. We don’t just lose our head in the heat of the moment, our hearts no longer feel they have any love left to give. We end up going through the motions, devoid of hope, spirit and inspiration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/1603901434558-DFG63XDTSBQ8N6CNJZ9I/jose-aljovin-m-ouVyLOtdM-unsplash.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/53613cb5-58d5-4f52-8f36-8c9f2bdc188a/Kirstie+and+Kye+Heart+2016.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/1595080486939-DW5AKAF1XNLOI9HD4AU9/annie-sprattunsplashkirstieseaborne.jpg Unlocking Blocked Care - “The workshop was invaluable.

Shame can be behind our child’s most disruptive, distressing behaviours, but it often acts out in disguise. Where does it come from? What does it look like? How does it show up in our body, beliefs and behaviours? How can you reduce shame triggers, prevent pasisting it to others, and become a shame-resilient family? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/1595455142990-DAV76X38U0413Q0MAOYW/anna-earl-XBDHmIXvsvM-unsplash.jpg Live Trainings - Beyond Mindfulness : Foundations of Embodied Regulation in Schools This training introduces the principles and practices of embodied regulation to help educators understand and integrate regulation and mindful movement practices into their classrooms safely, ethically and skilfully, so they can be confident they are supporting each student’s unique needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/1595462111929-JLRFWNAFCN8VLOBW45I5/gabriel-tovar-s-unsplash-kirstie-seaborne-fire.jpg Live Trainings - Dancing With Fire .

When our children are struggling through super intense states, walking away is not the only option. In fact, the toughest challenges can be powerful opportunities to gain greater insight and understanding, and promote regulation or healing. Wherever possible, we want to stay in connection to encourage the child’s natural desire to seek the adult out as an attachment figure, for support, comfort and safety when they have intense feelings to work through. Children have a natural instinct to regulate, but they need help learning how to do that in healthy, acceptable and effective ways. These impulses and instincts give us clues to how to help them in the moment, may reveal the context driving the behaviour , and creates the space for emotional processing, and mastery to occur, but we have to see through a different lens, know where and how to look, and learn how to change the energy of the dance. https://www.kirstieseaborne.com/online-learning daily 0.75 2020-07-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/1595435425848-TGRWHO5HNCO5B4IMEBHZ/gabriel-tovar--kirstie+seaborne.jpg Online Learning - DANCING WITH FIRE (or how to safely surf a tsunami to shore) Walking away is not the only option when our children are struggling through super intense states (including hitting, spitting and kicking).

When we face a daily diet of threats, spit and poop, we risk taking on our child’s trauma as our own, acting in ways we regret, reinforced by the critical gaze of our community and the judgement of those we reach out to for help. Don’t worry I get it, because I’ve been there! I have designed this training for you, too! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/1604244105435-QEDDCCBX7JPOHLN4XW8F/embodied+parenting+kirstie+seaborne.jpeg++copy.png Parenting Beyond Shame Kirstie says, “My clients - each of them extraordinary and wise - have often kept their struggle behind closed doors before sharing it with me, ashamed at the extent of the chaos in their homes. The secrecy becomes a burden which spirals shame in on itself, risking further fracturing of relationships. That’s why I believe it’s is time to tenderly and courageously nudge shame out of the shadows, so we can reclaim our innate aliveness, dignity and belonging, and nurture the same in our children. Together, we can break the intergenerational cycle of shame” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef3590baa46c017db4fe149/1604243647500-FOH5OTD8JB3R5HU7VYU7/kelly-sikkema-FqqaJI9OxMI-unsplash.jpg Parenting Beyond Shame - “Working with Kirstie has really helped me to understand more about why my son might behave in the way he does. I now feel much calmer with him and have developed a number of coping strategies that have significantly improved our relationships and family life as a whole.
