Self-care for special needs parents can be elusive. I break down easy ways to make it an everyday part of life so you, too, can have inner peace and healing. Few parents in this unique role give themselves the time, compassion, and grace needed to truly take care of their overall health. I acknowledge that all the teachings and clichés of self-care, like fill your own cup so you can pour into others, do not tell special needs parents how to fit self-care into their lives in a meaningful way. To balance such a heavy load, parents must add self-care into their lives every single day. I teach them the elements to make that possible.

My three elements of self-care are: 

1) The Foundation: mindset and mindfulness – Parents must believe they are worth the time and money. 

2) The Methods: bite-sized pieces and habit stacking – This makes using the tools attainable in their overwhelming lives. 

3) The Tools: meditation, journaling, spending time in nature, saying no, movement, gratitude, affirmations, and creativity.
