Welcome to Sensory Story Massage Training

This training session is designed for families and professionals seeking effective strategies to support dysregulated children. By focusing on Vagus nerve stimulation, attendees will learn calming techniques that incorporate guided visualisation, storytelling, and self-massage. These practices can empower children to self-regulate and find a sense of calm in their daily lives.

This workshop provides essential tools for understanding and supporting children with sensitive nervous systems. By integrating practical techniques into your toolkit, you’ll be equipped to help children manage their dysregulated systems.
