"In my work, I combine psychology, yoga, and art practices as a single system of interaction with the child through the body, emotions, and live contact.
This approach allows us to work not with individual symptoms, but with the child as a whole person."

REVIEWS
Tatyana
For a long time I didn't understand what was happening to the child after all these events. Constant fears, tears, and I was only getting more nervous. Now everything has somehow fallen into place. The most valuable thing for me is that now I know how to react calmly and not make things worse. And it really became easier for both me and the child
Iryna
"There are a lot of kids with anxiety in the class now, and honestly, I used to be at a loss as to how to react properly. Sometimes I was afraid to say the wrong thing. Now at least I understand what's going on with them and how to support them, not just "calm down." This helps a lot both in work and in communication."
Svetlana
I already work with children, but I felt that a systemic understanding of PTSD was lacking. The course has many simple but effective techniques that can be put into practice right away. I am already using them in practice and see the results. It is nice that they explain not only “what to do”, but also “why it is like this”.
Myroslava
I took the course more out of desperation, because I didn't know how to help my child. I felt like I was doing something wrong. Today, my child has become a little more open, less anxious. And for me, this is a great result. I'm very glad I decided to go.
