How can Performance/ Hippotherapy led Coaching Help my Child?

Coaching is very different than educating or providing therapy. In a coaching relationship, the professional provides tools and resources for self inquiry, self efficacy, self esteem and personal authority over choices. In coaching, the family is setting the goals and ownership of outcomes. This is our signature way to use somatic sensations for personal growth and / or assisting your therapists with healing and teachers with teaching. Our focus is to improve the quality of their lives at that moment. Through fun exploration on the farm your child will learn how it feels to feel safe, free and supported by nature in their body. We are able to help your child become more comfortable about making self care decisions and the horse’s behavioral change. This is intuitive training. It is not psychotherapy or physical therapy. This is not teaching. Coaching is about holding up an age appropriate mirror for your child while they connect with the world around them in a less stressful working way.

Family Education

By educating and coaching our parents we help you understand natural pediatric mental, emotional and physical development so that our parents can support the transitions with other siblings in the family as well. Our philosophy is towards owning whole health meaning optimizing our movement, mindset and nourishment. Our focus is on conscious parenting with wellness support for parents as well covering stress processing techniques and connecting you to resources. We are the experts in understanding how physical and mental challenges relate to social inclusion, emotional strain and behavioral challenges.

We also think parents need support groups outside a diagnosis. Research shows that peer led groups are more affective at creating personal change than those directed by authoritarian figures. Our workshops and educational courses train adults to lead each other and their partners into wellbeing.

How can Getting Coached into Baby's First year help my Family?

Your baby's first year of life is an exciting time but for many families, the first year can be exhausting.  Good feeding patterns, digestion, sleep cycles and self soothing are not just important to baby but are also very important for the parents. Our programs honor this and offer family coaching. 

The first few month is also a very important time for your baby's gut development, life long immunity and emotional growth. Your baby's brain is very open to change and is learning how to move their body and interact with their environment. It is also very sensitive to stress in the home and foods a breastfeeding mother is consuming. These experience have a direct effect upon your child's comfort, cognitive and motor development. At PlayXcience, we have the wisdom to take your family’s history and program all you need to know from suggested nourishment of tired parents to proper positioning of your child to retard head and neck issues to simple but often missed tricks of the rehab trade that developmental experts use to support development.
