Movement Therapy for Kids

Helping kids become more calm, curious, + connected

  • Tailored groups for children and teens
  • Evidenced-based tools to manage anger and anxiety, behavior challenges, and stressful experiences
  • Groups run for 8 weeks with take-home resources and support for parents
  • Scholarships are available to help with out of pocket costs, courtesy of a generous grant from the Delta Dental of Iowa Foundation

Research shows body-based strategies are essential for managing anger and anxiety, behavior challenges, and stressful experiences. Movement Therapy
for Kids uses a variety of evidenced-based techniques to teach kids how to feel safe, calm, and balanced. Kids learn movement and breathing practices that help release stuck stress patterns and build a healthy body and mind. Each family will have a pre-session for assessment and orientation, as well as a re-assessment and follow-up session after the series ends.
