Kinesiology for Kids

---

Your child's first session with me will be about building trust. With trust, a child is in a better position to heal, and feels safe to share their world. Therefore it is important that the parent comes into the session with patience and understanding that healing is a process. For some children, they may open up right away, while others may take a little more time. Fortunately, Kinesiology is mind AND body modality, and therefore can be tailored to each individual client. 

We work with more verbally expressive kids and keens by using a 'top-down' approach to healing (talk therapy - intuitive and client led). For kids and teens who are less talkative, we can use the 'bottom-up' approach (body work - nervous system regulation). As they say, all roads (approaches) lead to Rome!

Subsequent sessions together may be a space to share what's going on at home and school, to help the child self-regulate, understand themselves and what they're feeling, all while I use my favourite body work techniques to calm and regulate your child's nervous system. Depending on the child, some sessions may involve more gentle discussion and processing stressful events in your child's terms, while other sessions may involve more movements and body work. 

I help children feel comfortable in my space, ensuring they know that there is nothing 'wrong' with them. I let the children make decisions about how the session plays out, and know that the session is guided by them. My role with kids is to help them feel calm, safe, understood and connected. ♥

Often parents will make a session to work through any blind spots in their own healing that are coming through in their relationship with their child. Seeing as though 95% of our brain activity is subconscious, it is extremely helpful to have a non-judgemental and safe therapist to help us understand and shift within us any of our own subconscious stress that may be affecting our child. 

I'm very lucky to work alongside whole families and witness growth and intergenerational healing.

I provide a safe and judgement-free space, and meet each family where they're at on their journey, with love and understanding.

Please note:

I no longer offer initial sessions with children unless I've first had a session with one or both parents/caregivers.

After 2-3 sessions with the child, a follow up with the parent will be scheduled before proceeding.

"My 5 year old daughter has seen Jasmin a few times now to keep her balanced and confident having just started school. Jasmin’s approach with my girl is natural, eloquent and very powerful. My daughter calls Jasmin the relaxation person and she is the one who requests to see Jasmin. With so much crazy energy around our children these days I think it is wonderful to have a practitioner like Jasmin in our community. I will be sure to continue to take my daughter to see Jasmin to support her through childhoods milestones and will highly, highly recommend her to all parents."

Jasmin is a warm and intuitive healer. She has an open and friendly manner that makes her so approachable and comforting. Both my 11 year old daughter and I benefit greatly from visiting Jasmin and look forward to our appointments.

I highly recommend Jasmin as a therapist. I have seen her both for my myself and for my young daughter. She was fantastic with my daughter, who was initially very nervous and scared about seeing her...she can be quite shy. Jasmin instilled a confidence and bravery in my daughter almost instantly and now she is always asking to please go see Jasmin. Jasmine also gave me some tools so that I can continue to work with my daughter on our own. Such a great gift to give to a small child. Her treatment on me was equally transformative. I felt an instant calm and ease and felt we very quickly got to the bottom of my “stuff”. I have been left with a greater understanding of myself and tools to help me move through things.
