Osteopathy & Ishana

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.

The Importance of No!

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

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.

About My Blogs and me

About My Blogs and me

In my blogs, you will see a smattering of different posts. Some posts will be there to support BOOM Healing clients to learn more about what BOOM offers and what to expect. Other posts will be about my parenting adventure with my kiddo. I am writing about my parenting because I break many conventional rules and parent in an attuned and intuitive way. I have let go of most traditional ways and rules of parenting and have embarked on trusting me and my kiddo’s inherent wisdom. Some of my influences include nervous system health and healing and low demand parenting. So if you find yourself parenting in uncharted territory like our family, some ideas found in my blogs may be really helpful.
