The presenter's knowledge and practice reflected her expertise, research and practice based information was presented with application examples and with audience practice of mind-fullness techniques, the completion of this course leaves me with a tool kit to use in practice and wanting to delve more into the cited research and as a base to delving further into the topic. I am excited to apply these tools in practice.

I’m not sure how, but I have not heard much about polyvagal theory and it is extremely eye opening! I am signed up for another course in a few weeks that’s a live course on the same topic and I am so looking forward and to it. I think this and self regulation, and movement tactics should be spoken about MORE in schools, as I feel like it was barely touched upon(especially if you plan to focus on PEDS). I love this speaker as well! :)

Self-regulation is such an important part of a healthy, functional lifestyle. And it is so important to address this topic early on with children.
