Mental & Emotional Well-Being
for Everyone
In a world where so much is demanded of us, wouldn’t it be nice to find the calm in the storm… to be the calm in the storm? Whether you have a connection to autism of not, all of us are seeking more mental and emotional peace. Gain actionable approaches to promote the brain regulation necessary for improved resilience, more calmness and ease, and enhanced relationships with the people you care about.
We can’t be strong when we use our brains wrong.
It doesn’t have to be this way...
The whole world seeks to push our autistic loved ones to connect (participate, be social, follow instructions, speak, play, do homework, brush their teeth, make eye contact, converse, complete a task, etc.) when they don’t feel safe and are not in a neuro-state where they can do so.
Doing this…
There is another way...
If we create a real sense of safety first, we can unblock connection, communication, and self-regulation. If we truly value, are curious about, and thus understand the autistic experience, we can approach our loved ones from the inside rather than imposing our will from the outside.
If we build trust, we can radically strengthen the relationship…
and then all relationships.
WHAT IS THE SAFE TO CONNECT AUTISM APPROACH?
It’s a neurodivergence-aligned approach comprised of 4 systems based on a true understanding of and respect for the autistic brain, nervous system, psyche, and experience.

The information and clarity I have gained from the handouts and the sessions have been so valuable… I plan to incorporate the handouts into a support document that I can share with everyone supporting our 25-year-old adult son… I now understand my son’s behavior and know how to keep him out of fight-or-flight. 7 days on we are Neuro-Crash free (our son and us!) and so excited about the improvements and development we will achieve with the knowledge we now have. So grateful and relieved.

I felt it was so different from the ‘normal’ therapeutic atmosphere of ‘doom and gloom’. I was actually in tears a few times!! And I started applying immediately with my little Gaia… Apart from the precise, generous, and unique information, it was extremely empowering, high vibe, powerful, and very very useful.

The handouts provided were impeccably crafted, offering concise yet comprehensive summaries of each topic covered. The instructors were simply outstanding, embodying qualities that made the learning experience truly exceptional. Their energy was infectious, infusing the sessions with enthusiasm and dynamism.

Attending this training was not just informative; it was an uplifting and enriching experience.

There was not a question left unanswered. All the enigmas of ‘why my child does this’ were solved. The material was coherent and added value to our knowledge every moment that passed.

Teachers are the best of the best. Enjoyed learning from Kate and Raun. They both have an amazing way to explain and relate to people. Loved the real-life examples they had during class.
