Understanding Children’s Emotions – A Parent’s Toolkit
This workshop for parents will introduce or build on previous
knowledge of using Emotion Coaching techniques with children. The workshop
supports parents to consider how children’s brains develop at various stages
and explore the links between parenting styles and children’s ability to
self-regulate. Using cutting-edge theories about neuroscience, taught in a
simple and digestible way, we will focus on strategies to help children thrive
and feel confident.
The workshop aims to give practical advice and takeaway tools
which parents can immediately use at home to enhance relationships with
children of all ages. We will talk about ways to help children calm down in the
heat of the moment and how to create a peaceful family environment.
The workshop will be a mix of taught content, practical
activities and group discussion, designed to support parents to feel more able
to tune into their child’s emotional world and experiences. Parents who have
attended this workshop have reported a long-term positive change in their
child’s ability to express themselves and a permanent decrease in challenging
interactions with their children. Overall, there is a greater sense of
wellbeing for the whole family.

Feedback from past
participants….
“The Emotion
Coaching course by Shana was great. Her calm and non-judgmental nature,
expertise and resources were extremely useful in understanding children’s
development and perspectives better and with that supporting parents to make
more informed and enabling choices in their parenting approach. Highly
recommend this course to anyone who is a parent. Thank you Shana!”
“Really
helpful course, the small group worked really well and it was helpful to listen
to other people's examples and questions. Would definitely recommend this
course, I learnt lots of practical tips to apply everyday, thank you!”
“Learning
about a young child's brain was fascinating and made some of our sons
behaviours so much clearer. It will help to understand his emotional response
to things.”
“Really
great course. All parents should do it to get a greater understanding of what
is happening to their kids during an emotional time as it certainly makes you
think about how you deal with emotionally too.”
*Please note as well as the taught session I
will also make 2 online modules available which will need to be viewed prior to
the in-person session to compliment the learning on the day.

Hi, I’m Schay. I’m a massage therapist, mindfulness instructor, and a proud mom to a smart, beautiful girl.
It’s been a joy working with the Moon Clinic, where I’ve had the honour of meeting and caring for so many incredible women.
As a mobile therapist, I bring my chair massage—*“caderita”*—to corporate offices across London, creating moments of relaxation and connection.
I also offer mindfulness sessions, and right now, I’m pouring my heart into a special project designed exclusively for women—a space to nurture, empower, and connect. Stay tuned for more details!
Outside of work, I find peace in the quiet magic of sunrises and the grounding beauty of sunsets. Water is my element; it’s where I feel most at home. Motherhood has been one of my greatest teachers, revealing lessons I couldn’t have learned any other way. I love moving my body and exploring the wonders of biomechanics. And, of course, I’m a devoted lover of good chocolate and coffee—because life’s too short!
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little better. I’m looking forward to connect, share, and grow with you.

A warm March re-introduction to Deborah Ryan. Deborah offers much needed TMJ treatments for aching and clenched jaws and tension headaches.
She has also recently written an article on Orthodontics for Children that you can find via her biography on the Moon website.
You can find out more about Deborah and her sessions via our bio.
Over to Deborah 👇
I am a Dental Therapist by profession, working both in the NHS in the Community Dental Service and privately in Harley Street.
I understand the anxiety that people can feel around dental treatments and always do my best to make any procedure comfortable and achievable, for adults, children and those with extra needs.
I provide oral hygiene advice and treatments, restoration of teeth with fillings and crowns for children, to protect them for the future.
Massage of the muscles of mastication and associated facial tissues is a wonderful complementary therapy that I also offer my dental patients and well as clients at Moon.
The TMJ Massage Therapy is aimed at relieving the delicate tissues of the myofascia and underlying muscles that support this joint.
It is a gentle and carefully targeted massage from the shoulders up to the temples, aimed at releasing tension by applying gentle pressure to the muscle fibre knots and subtle myofascia manipulation.
Indian scalp massage can be added onto the end of the therapy to completely relax the whole head.
