    An online workshop for parents and teachers discussing themes such as "sensory radius" and how much of a "sensory diet" children can take in before them become overwhelmed.

    Why Do They Do That?

    This workshop looks at behaviors like: squeezing, crashing, rubbing, genital self-stimulating, thumb-sucking, and other repeated patterns that some children seem to deeply need and can't move away from. The discussion and descriptions will help you gain insights about what stands behind those behaviors, as well as learn alternatives to just saying "no" or "please stop!"

    Holistic Home Care

    This online workshop explores the difference between common signs of imbalance versus the much-needed tools of our immune system. Which symptoms are part of the problem, and which are part of the solution? Is fever generally good or bad? These distinctions provide important insights, because treatments that simply remove all symptoms, across the board, also frequently block core capacities for recovery.

  • Book cover titled 'Raising Sound Sleepers' by Adam Blanning MD, with a background of blue sky and white clouds, and a subtitle about helping children use their senses to rest and self-soothe.

    Raising Sound Sleepers

    “Adam Blanning’s Raising Sound Sleepers is groundbreaking. He beautifully describes how to care for children’s inner space, their inner life, with its wise messages of health and regeneration.

    His language is refreshingly common-sense. Without obscure or technical concepts, he guides us in observing our own children through a new lens, showing how problem behaviors can reveal specific needs that may surprise us – and how those behaviors, well observed, point to healthy, developmentally appropriate ways to help….

    This book is an insightful gem, and a gift for the children of our time. I heartily recommend it to parents, teachers and doctors who care for children. But wait! adults with anxiety and self-soothing issues of their own could learn a lot from it as well.”

    Mistletoe and the Emerging Future of Integrative Oncology

    “In this pioneering book, doctors and patients will discover the incredible power of mistletoe therapy and its foundational place within integrative cancer care. As this book demonstrates, plant-based supplements that stimulate the immune system's own power—such as mistletoe—are a welcome addition to current cancer treatments and may eventually become first-line treatments (with fewer side effects).”
