Creative Expression

Creative expressions are techniques that help children express themselves beyond words or traditional therapy. Creative and therapeutic activities have physical, intellectual, social and emotional benefits. For example, they can improve self-esteem; relieve boredom; improve cooperation; help children develop new skills; promote independence; and enhance communication skills.

Mindfulness Meditation

Mindfulness is the practice of cultivating awareness of thoughts, emotions and physical sensations. Children are guided through a process of paying attention to their breath. By integrating breathing and relaxation techniques, children will develop emotional resilience and fend off negative thoughts and behaviors, allowing them to become much calmer individuals.

Self-Esteem and Positive Body Image

Self-esteem reflects the opinion individuals have of themselves, as well as how they feel valued and respected. Body image, an important component of self-esteem, is the mental picture one has of their body - what it looks like versus how one perceives it look likes. Boosting a child’s self-esteem will directly affect how they take care of themselves emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

The leap to adulthood can be a tremendously frustrating period for an inexperienced teenager. Lack of knowledge and life experiences often prevent us from making wise decisions along the way. In such cases, it is important to find comfort in someone who is willing to listen without forming judgmental opinions. Someone like Liza.

Just a note to express our gratitude to you. You have helped Kyle through hypnosis again, and again. We came to you for his fear and anxiety playing ball – batting. We knew there had to be something wrong since he loves the game. In two simple sessions, you helped him get over his fear and get on the field. I know Kyle called you personally to tell you that his team went on to win 3 games in a row and got to playoffs. Thank you Liza – you were a lifesaver for our son.

A child’s overall development is shaped by different aspects of their life, from their physical needs and mental toughness, to their emotional state. The relationship between a child and their primary caregiver is a vital part of their mental and emotional development. When that connection is lost, it can have long-lasting consequences. Research now shows that creative therapies and alternative meditation techniques engage the mind in a number of positive ways and produce different effects on the mind, body, and behavior. Please think about those you may know around you who could benefit from such therapies. Help us give each being that reaches out to us a place to open their heart, expand their minds, and heal and transform their lives.
