The Science BEHIND
FAMILY BRIDGING

This will range - due to each family's unique circumstances but you can expect to achieve your goals that you set with Pera within the first session.

Parents often describe a calmer home, easier communication, fewer emotional outbursts, and a renewed sense of connection. Children begin to feel safer in their own bodies and emotions — and parents feel more confident guiding them. If your child/family is navigating healing from a traumatic experience, it might look like recovery, safety and peace is restored. If juggling Neurodiverse minds, this might look like a deeper understanding of one another, a developed and flowing system, peace and restoration - acceptance. And so much more!

Depending on the circumstances, no. But parents are the main form of communication for children under 16 so yes to expecting contact each time whether that's via email/drive folder or other forms of communication. But if the main area of work is with your 9 year old child for example, navigating emotional regulation - then the session will be with them and communication will go through you at the end of each session and in between times as you will need just as much support to then support your child. There will be sessions that might be just parents alone as well. All dependant on your unique circumstances. Book a free consult, we can go over all of this.

A minimum of three sessions is required to establish understanding and flow. Most families complete six to twelve sessions, depending on their needs. From there, maintenance or reflection sessions can continue monthly or as required. Pera can advise during your free consult an estimate based on your initial conversation but like nature, things unfold naturally and we trust the process. I will never give you a set amount of sessions, as neither of us know that until we get there. No more than you need and no less - when goals are complete we have succeeded on our precious journey!

Each session explores the invisible currents that shape the body–mind connection and family dynamics. We begin by exploring what’s happening beneath the surface — understanding patterns, needs, and energetic dynamics. From there, we use creative expression, co-regulation techniques, and gentle conversation to restore harmony and safety in the family field.

No — it’s not therapy or counselling. Family Bridging is an integrative, creative framework that blends somatic awareness, bioenergetic principles, and neuro-arts. It focuses on awareness, communication, and co-regulation through creative and embodied tools. An understanding of the connection between mind and body - the pathways, patterns, beliefs and movements that shape our human experience. A lot of the work compliments a deep understanding of the role the emotional field plays in shaping the human experience.

Families navigating emotional overwhelm, behavioural challenges, neurodivergence, or transitions (such as separation, grief, or trauma). It’s for those ready to bring balance and deeper understanding back into their family system.

That’s okay. Start with a free 30 minute consult. You don’t need to have the answers — just a willingness to begin. Then the first session is a gentle conversation to explore what’s happening for your family and what support could look like.

Family Bridging is the deepest healing option, therefore after family bridging sessions have reached their end point. Pera might suggest the building option for children to continue developing their inner world through Creative Exploration. Our journey doesn't have to end, now that things are in a wonderful flow at home and your child is thriving in safety, it could be time for them to start finding their voice through Creative Exploration! There might be crossover options that Pera suggests through this journey - there might even be Creative Exploration sessions that come into your family bridging series.
