Child Life Therapy, Mindfulness and Dynamic Body Balancing
Utilizing creative and coping interventions, as well as healing modalities to connect children, adolescents, and families to support processing and preparation for life challenges.
About…..
Child Life Therapy
Child life Specialists support infants, children, adolescents through past, present and future overwhelming situations. This can include diagnosis education, big feelings, divorce, end of life, trauma of any kind, natural and non-natural disasters, medical procedures and fears and challenges at school. We do this through: therapeutic play, therapeutic creative interventions and approaching each conversation with honesty and truth, while normalizing feelings. Giving families support before something happens creates safety and support so traumas do not take root. I utilize a range of interventions to help process, prepare for, and educate on challenging situations. We teach coping skills that can be used in the moment and throughout a person’s lifetime.
When something unimaginable happens, it’s hard to know what to say to children or adolescents. This is normal – you’re not supposed to know what to do because hard things aren’t supposed to happen to the ones we love. But child life specialists do. We are here to create a sense of safety through challenges and stressors, and to teach families how to do the same. The tools our clients learn with us are intended to go with them through life. Our session plans have a clear beginning, middle, and end, rather than creating a dependency of our services.
Please see about me to learn about child life certification, master levels education, college teaching experience, as well as 16 years of hands on experience.
Dynamic Body Balancing
Dynamic body balancing is a gentle unwinding of tension of the fascia and emotions through gentle focused movements. DBB provides clients with a sense of connection and integration when used prior to the deeper work of emotional child life interventions. Because tension, trauma, stress stays in our body long after events have occurred, DBB is a tool that can slowly and delicately unwind that trauma that lives deep in our body. This bodywork also provides relief for chronic or acute illness and has been called a “reset” or “magic” after a session. DBB benefits also include inflammation reduction and support with athletic injuries. Please see about me to learn about 100 hour certification completion in DBB
Pediatric Hypnosis
Hypnosis can be a tool to support coping and regulation of emotions for every day, as well as more challenging life events.
Hi, I’m Suzanna Paisley,
My passion has always been supporting children, teens and families who have unique needs and are not sure who to turn to for help. I created The Grove to start conversations and support before something happens – to help people prepare for and be their own advocates at school, at work, in the hospital, in court, and in any other situation they may encounter. And in teaching children and teens to advocate for themselves. I believe in connecting with children and adolescents at a deeper level.
After receiving my education licensure through Colorado University and getting to experience our amazing Boulder schools. I received my Masters in Science in NYC at Bank Street Education working at different area hospitals. I then had the privilege of working at Childrens Hospital Colorado as a Child Life Specialist
