Our mission:
Through somatic skill building and greater awareness over the nervous system's impact on behavior; CREATE builds the educational supports that heal past trauma, provide better in the moment management of stress and secures healthier futures.
Why us
An important early learning experience
Understanding how emotions impact our physical experience means we notice our automatic reactions to frustration, fear, anxiety or stress faster.
Making it a part of our learning as children means an entire life of better in-the-moment decision making, health and resilience.
Holistic approach
A whole body approach uses education and skills that manipulate the body to increase mental and emotional resilience.
Health Advocacy
Our education and exercises focus on spreading the knowledge that leads to greater health equity and better long term health outcomes.
Awareness
Early learning means parents build these skills into a child's natural language and understanding of how the body connects to the mind.
