Beyond Deep Breaths with Michelle Tovar

A practical, nervous-system–informed workshop for parents.

When we’re overwhelmed, our kids feel it too. This workshop explores what’s really happening in the nervous system under stress and offers practical tools to help you respond with more steadiness, clarity, and connection.

Grounded in neuroscience and woven with compassion, this experience is designed to support parents in regulating themselves first so communication and connection can follow.
