Coaching

Why focus on the Brain andSocial and Emotional Regulation Coaching?

We find ourselves in unprecedented times wit h stresses today that we could hardly imagine last year...the stuff science fiction novels are made of.  Faced with isolation and anxiety our society, and many of you personally, are being tested to remain 'level headed and calm'.  Our DNA programming tells us to "fight, flee or freeze" when faced with unknown threats.  Even the best of us are challenged to remain emotionally stable and regulated.

The coaching that we offer through WillowKai Consulting will deal directly with your personal struggles, personal or professional.  We will listen and reflect on your perception and hopefully guide you towards a more resilient and flexible lifestyle.  Using techniques based on the newest research in neuroscience and positive psychology, our coaches will be there with you throughout your journey gently nudging you towards the ultimate goal of deep emotional regulation.

Photobiomodulation

I will attempt to make this explanation easier than it might sound.

“Photo” means “light”. “Bio” means “life’. “Modulation”simply implies a “change” in something. So therefore, in photobiomodulation we use the energy in certain specific wavelengths of light to cause a positive change!

Light therapy in all forms has seen intensive scientific studies and a strong comeback (since people prior to antibiotics used it) in the past 50 years, as chronic disease, life expectancy increases, antibiotics are being overused and some failing, along with a spike in headaches and gut issues challenge medications with severe side effects.

Research has accelerated dramatically in the past 20 years with technology keeping pace! I will include a list of reseach institutions at the end of this brief introduction, including my favorite. The Wellman Center of Photomedice-Harvard University/Massachuetts General Hospital (https://ecor.mgh.harvard.edu/Default.aspx?node_id=284)

Utilizing this guidance, I have found this therapeutic method to assist in a variety of conditions including: pain relief, migraines, stress, the aging brain dysfunctions and most importantly, the stimualtion of all vagus nerve innervations. Please read up on the research and let me know if you would like to give it a try!

Massage and Craniosacral Therapy

With over 35 years of expert massage therapy/craniosacral therapy practice and as a national recognized instructor, we offer a unique combination of manipulation with focus on the vagus nerve and the nervous system. This potentially could include a combination of focused advanced massage, craniosacral therapy and photobiomodulation.

This focus has been shown to address migraine headaches, post COVID-19 brain fog, mild post TBI and stroke residuals, anxiety, depression and much more.

No work is done without extensive research to verify evidence based research. Each technique is uniquely designed for individual needs.

Speaking

Public presentations, both virtually and in person, to present the various modalities. Concentration on topics will be tailored to individual requests, however, all presentations will provide a list of evidence based research to support our work!

We also offer trainings in conflict management, impllicit bias topics, emotional and social skills and many more topics!
