Episode 24: Nervous System Balance with Abbey Stanbrook

In this episode, I have an inspiring conversation with Abbey Stanbrook. Abbey is an Aware Parenting Instructor and a Somatic Wellness Coach and is passionate about supporting parenting with these modalities to support nervous system balance and integration. She is also a Safe Sound Protocol practitioner and the host of the Somatic Seasons Podcast. In this episode Abbey shares both her aware parenting and somatic wellness perspectives. Abbey explains how she came to aware parenting via Hand in Hand parenting and Patty Wipfler’s work. She describes the power of this approach in parenting her children and re-parenting herself and the deep connection she has developed with her children as a result of practising aware parenting. She shares some of her self-healing journey and the need for us to receive support in order to support our physical and psychological wellbeing. She shares how she has navigated co-parenting and the power of attachment play in her family. We also discuss some of the challenges of practising aware parenting and the need for community, belonging and connection.
