Resilient Roots

 A cycle-breaking course for parents

Developed and Facilitated by Leigh Ioffe

How can I help my child thrive?

This is a common question all parents have. While dozens of programs cater to children’s unique needs, few programs focus on the role of parents’ healing in raising resilient and healthy children. That is what “Resilient Roots” is all about.

Resilient Roots was designed for parents of all ages, aimed at fostering resilience in both you and your children. Discover invaluable insights into emotional regulation and the profound link between relationships and childhood development. Together, we’ll break generational cycles and create a nurturing environment conducive to growth and well-being, through psycho-education and somatic exercises including breathwork, expressive writing, and cold exposure.

"I loved the depth of theory on attachment, learning to attune to ourselves so we can attune to our children. I loved how it was such a safe, loving, compassionate and non judgemental container. Ty ty :)"

There are no words to adequately express the tremendous gratitude I have for Leigh and Resilient Roots. This journey has taught me the incredible power each of us holds within ourselves. I came into the workshop trying to figure out how to change everyone around me only to realize the incredible amount of inner work we must undertake. The greatest gift we can give ourselves is honesty and the courage to see where it may take you. Leigh challenged us to question so many premises and ideas that we had ingrained in ourselves and encouraged us to change the narrative in our relationships. I will forever be grateful to Leigh and Resilient Roots.

“This course was enlightening. It taught me to regain power and control over myself and my parenting. I learned to embrace my humanity and no longer feel lost in my roles. I am more confident in my motherhood and have the skills and tools to move forward and create real change. I am so grateful for this course and Leigh for teaching me, and my cohort how to be resilient.”
