Whether you’re navigating toddler tantrums or teen transitions, this workshop is designed to give you practical tools to create healthy habits at home and approach parenting from a more conscious, empowered place.
In this blog, Dr. Mary answers some of the most common questions about her upcoming workshop—what to expect, who it’s for, and why it could be the reset your family has been waiting for.
Let’s dive in.
Q&A with Dr. Mary: Inside The Parent Empowerment Portal Workshop
Q: What inspired you to create the Parent Empowerment Portal workshop?
A: “There’s a lot of bullying of parents out there these days in this healthcare field of ours, and I see that it is making parents feel inadequate, making parents question our own parental instincts, making them feel like they are losing their kids to the system and social media.
I had a parent at an expo say to me, “Oh! Are you going to get my kids to listen to you?”, and I said, “No, I’m going to get them to listen to you.”
What do I mean? They are your kids. Not mine. Parents, you are an essential piece to their health and wellness. I just want to give you the tools so you can take matters into your own hands. Let me teach you.
Let me teach you how to guide your child into a state of relaxation. Science says that when the body is in a state of relaxation, the parasympathetic nervous system is activated. Known for its success for better “digest[ion] and rest”, this is the mode to be in for healing. I’m going to teach you that. I’m going to teach you about the triune model of the mind, so you can understand how the mind works and how to utilize it for yourself and your families.
Let’s get back to instinct, let’s get back to the basics, let’s get back to our roots and instincts. In this workshop, I’m going to teach you how to empower your children.”
Q: Who is this workshop designed for?
A: “All parents. Hypnotherapy is always relevant for any age, any milestone, any hurdle. It’s just “easier” to do before the age of 7. ONE MILLION positive thoughts per day.”
Q: Do I need any prior experience with hypnotherapy to attend?
A: “No, just have a goal that you are working on with your child and trust the process! This is a beginner’s class. Before I went to Hypnotherapy school, I had no real experience with it. I want you to experience it. Then I want you to understand it. Then, you’ll know how to use it.”
Q: What’s one takeaway every parent can expect to gain from this experience?
A: “Every parent will experience a guided hypnotherapy session using an easy way to guide their child into a state of physical and emotional calm at the end of the evening. I will teach parents the recipe for creating affirmations that will make their children successful in all of their endeavors – health or education. Every parent will leave with at least 5 affirmation cards that are working on specific behaviors that you are trying to instill in your child. Clarity.”
