  • Parent Wellness Circles bring together small groups of parents who want to share their joys and concerns with others who understand, want to challenge themselves to be more intentional parents, and would like some extra support in making some changes in their lives. Parent Wellness Circles meet for six weekly facilitated sessions that center around eight interconnected areas of family wellness– organization, stress resilience, relationships, rest and play, handling emotions, spirituality, work and school, and care for the body– learning about how each of these areas plays out in their lives can lead participants to be more intentional as parents, including how they can best serve as a compass for their children and their family.

    “We have had the great privilege of working with Sarah, an outstanding and highly qualified OT. Sarah has come to us as a trusted resource and support for our daughter as she navigates sensory regulation. Sarah is thoughtful and responsive, and she has provided a number of tools for our daughter and for us, as parents, to use. Her approach is gentle and empathetic, and the activities feel very manageable for a busy family to complete and fit into our lives. Trust that you are in the most capable and supportive hands. Our daughter feels very comfortable at Little Light and is at ease under Sarah’s care and guidance. We highly recommend Little Light Therapies.”
