EmpowerED Learning and Wellness
A partnership between Radiance Healing and Kavana Consulting
With over 50 years of professional and therapeutic experience between us, our programs and services are designed to support educators and parents in making accessible shifts in their homes and classrooms.
Adults become empowered to model healthier regulation strategies, promote positive behavior, nurture more connected relationships, and increase wellbeing for themselves and the children in their care.
Our mission is to empower those who shape young lives by providing education, coaching, and programs focused on nervous system regulation and healing. Through a deeper understanding of the nervous system and increasing self-regulation and emotional resilience, we help caregivers cultivate healthier, more connected environments that help children thrive.
By supporting the wisdom, wellbeing, and healing of adults, we create a ripple effect that fosters emotional health and stability for future generations.
Humans are wired for connection.
Children's early experiences with caregivers can help them develop healthier patterns that can benefit their development, relationships, health, and emotional wellbeing.
Children’s capacity to connect with others, to be curious, to focus, and to learn is tied to their ability to stay regulated and feel a sense of belonging. The adults in their lives can have a powerful role in nurturing these experiences. Empower yourself with knowledge and practical strategies that help you do this for the children in your care.
Presentations with the Brain in Mind
EmpowerED Learning and Wellness offers engaging presentations, classes and training workshops for teachers, parents and caregivers.
In STARS approved trainings and workshops, educators will learn and apply accessible concepts from brain science in the classroom. This supports more reflective teaching and promotes healthier development for students in all domains: physical, cognitive, social, and emotional. Neuro-educational awareness empowers teachers’ ability to stay more regulated and engaged with their students, and to foster a more positive learning environment and sense of community in the classroom.
In parent education classes and workshops, caregivers are empowered to move from reactive to more reflective parenting.
These presentations can help parents and teachers:
Understand the basics of the human nervous system, including language to share with children to help them better understand and communicate their feelings.
Reflect on their stress response patterns and how they influence caregivers’ feelings, energy, and reactions to children.
Learn specific strategies that nurture the nervous system to support self-regulation, connection to calm, and overall wellbeing.
Better understand and respond to children’s needs and challenging behaviors.
Feel more confident supporting children with managing their emotions and promoting positive behavior.
Reconnect to the enjoyment of teaching/parenting and reduce feelings of overwhelm and burnout.
“When we truly care for ourselves, it becomes possible to care more profoundly for other people. The more alert and sensitive we are to our own needs, the more loving and generous we can be towards others.”
Adults who prioritize their own regulation and healing are better able to support the wellbeing and healthy development of the children in their care.
