BOOM – Magic & Best Practices in Nature
At BOOM Healing, our mission is to help you heal and find lasting change. But we start with the fact that you’re amazing just the way you are. You don’t have to say or do the right thing here; you get to come as you are, and we’ll meet you right there. We believe in you and your ability to heal. BOOM is the combination of best practices and magic surrounded by nature. Our therapists keep one foot firmly planted in the accountabilities and credentialing of their respective fields and the other foot firmly planted in their intuition and natural energetic healing gifts. Welcome home – we look forward to meeting you.
60-Minute Switch: New Idea for Screen Time
The biggest thing that was happening to me with the endless screen time was endless mommy guilt and worry. I felt like a terrible parent, but I didn’t know how to strike a balance. All this guilt and worry was leading me down a path of exhaustion and depression. The 60-minute switch has helped so much.
Pink Vortex of Light
Magical morning this morning – it felt like the beginning of 2025 is fully here. The sky was lit up with pink everywhere the eye could see. Above BOOM Healing was a huge vortex of pink tunneling up into the heavens. I like to think that this pink was a tunnel taking all the stress and pain away from those who visit this beautiful clinic in the forest for healing and renewal.
Books – PDA, the Nervous System, Healing, & Parenting
I am sharing these books because they hold magic for me and maybe they do for you too. These books have been incredible in enhancing myself as a therapist and mom. I would go so far to say that they have changed the course of my son’s and my life for the better. These books have led me to parent through a nervous system lens, seek out somatic touch healing for myself and my son, and to pursue training in somatic touch healing. I also recommend these books to other parents and am sure they have made a difference.
40 over 40
The 40 over 40 project was started by Jenn Fontaine of Fontaine photography. This project has many purposes – community connections, networking, fundraising, marketing, and empowering women over 40. This years’ 40 over 40 project raises money for SHARE Family and Community Services.
Osteopathy & Ishana
I believe Ishana is a special and gifted healer. I believe that she has both the education and the intuition that can powerfully make a difference in people’s lives. She maintains her relationships and connections with the most respected in her field – this helps ensure she practices ethically and to the best of her ability. She is highly educated and travels the world to improve her Osteopathy perspective and knowledge. She has also dedicated her whole life to the art of healing and wellness – it is more than just a career for her; it is her mission, passion, and way of being.
BOOM Healing is 2 Today!
Happy 2nd Anniversary BOOM Healing. Today we celebrate BOOM Healing. BOOM is so much more than a business for me – it is the culmination of my life dreams, goals, and purpose. The key focus at BOOM is helping others heal in and among nature.
The Importance of No!
I believe that respecting our kiddos no is tremendously important. For me it teaches them that they have value and worth in the world. It is very empowering to say no and have it respected. Also, it supports our kids in developing a strong sense of self as it allows them to identify what they like and dislike and be clear when something is too much. It also gives kids an opportunity for them to practice setting boundaries. But most importantly it teaches our kids to listen to their own bodies, their own needs, and to trust themselves.
Neurofeedback
I love NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback (NFB) – it has changed my life. I have struggled on and off with debilitating anxiety and NFB has eased it off and helped me through. Over the years I have gone from a fearful skeptic of technology-based therapies to a promoter of NeurOptimal® NFB.
Forest Bathing
For as long as I can remember the forest has been my safe and secure place. I can often be found meandering a trail with my dog. For years I have immersed myself in the forest’s peace, ease, and beauty and felt its benefits deep within my body and soul. I am sensitive and neurodivergent; the forest and nature have been my sanctuary.
