Our Philosophy
A holistic, family-focused approach to wellness
We’re committed to building lasting connections with you and your child through a holistic, family-focused approach to wellness. We follow the Vermont Family Based Approach (FVBA) model.
We know that everyday family routines like eating, sleeping, moving, and connecting with others all shape your child’s health and future. This approach helps us partner with you to build healthy habits across all areas of wellness.
“We went in for my daughters 2.5 year well child visit and the appointment went well. I’ve been struggling with behaviors with my daughter and she gave me clear advice while also validating the difficulties. I’ve already began implementing the techniques Courtney gave me and have noticed a shift in my daughters listening due to how I’m directing her per Courtney’s advice. I’m very grateful to have spoken with her, she was great to work with and so helpful!”

Exercise
Exercise supports brain growth and helps kids do better at school, with friends, and at home. It also reduces symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.
Nutrition
Research shows that a healthy gut leads to a healthier brain. Eating well can reduce anxiety and depression while improving memory and emotional balance.
Reading
Reading with children supports healthy brain development, strengthens parent-child bonds, and builds language and social skills that set the foundation for future success.
Sleep
Sleep isn’t just rest. It’s also when the brain resets and feels safe. Getting enough quality sleep boosts learning, memory, behavior, emotions, and physical growth.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness activities can improve physical health and emotional well-being by enhancing focus, reducing anxiety, easing pain, and strengthening the immune system.
Music
Music strengthens the brain by improving coordination, emotion regulation, impulse control, and sound processing. It also supports reading skills, communication, and social interaction.
Parenting
Positive parenting focuses on building strong, respectful relationships through clear communication. It helps parents and children manage emotions and encourages better behavior by reinforcing positives rather than relying on punishment.
Community
Helping others boosts mental health and well-being by creating a sense of community and lasting happiness. Strong social connections are key to feeling good, and kindness and gratitude play a vital role.
