what people say about my courses

Donna's pd's are the most useful I have ever attended! Her knowledge about children, neuroscience and nervous-system science is immense! A complex topic, but Donna has the ability to present in a easy format that will give you many aha moments and start you on the path to understanding yourself and the children in your life better.

What people have said

I loved the concept of the 5 kete. The individual props in each kete were perfect as a tool to remind us what key aspect each kete represented. Your passion and extensive knowledge were very inspiring. Adding stories to explain was very helpful. Using your 5 keywords has added more depth to my practice. For me, this course was like the glue that joined everything together. Tying in brain development, hierarchy of needs, dispositions, nonviolent communication.

Why come and do this course?

I have been working, over the years, looking at how we can find that place of BEing comfortable with the uncomfortable emotions of life. For me ALL teachers should know about Self-Reg; the impact on them and more import the children that they support.

  • As I have journeyed with parents and teachers over the last 8 years, I started to notice patterns in relationships and interacting with each other. Whether it is adult to adult or child to child.

  • It was only this year after working with Donna Berry and training to be an Interplay facilitator that I got to see the weaving of the brain, nervous system and attachment style. Something Donna guided me to understand was Modern Attachment theory

  • So this course is just one of the foundations building blocks to secure healthy relationships be shorter or longer depending on your needs

  • And for me every person will find their own starting place.

  • On this course we will look at how you create your own maintenance for your own self-regulation.

  • Before the course starts I gift you 5 videos to understanding where the 5 Kete's will take us. Taken from my Self-Reg Facilitators course

  • And on the day you and the other people on the course guide me in the important elements that you would like to learn

  • The Self-Reg journey is as I have stated a JOURNEY, and it will twist and change as life happens. The important thing is that we work at increasing your Window of Tolerance

  • I am happy for people that have been on this course to have 1 month free in my Comfee Lounge as space for teachers to work together through each others stories of Learning about Self-Reg

What people are saying

I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to attend your workshop. Already I have felt my teaching practice deepen as I integrate your 5 key concepts into my day, including the restore. I would love the opportunity to learn more from you. I feel that what you are teaching is a lot like the iceberg metaphor....the range of theories and practices that you draw from are the lower part and you are the segment that is above the water that combines and caps it all off.

participant in August 2024 day retreat

Kia ora… On Sunday 25 August at Sharda Centre enjoyed a day of learning ,it was about what our tamariki need in our Early childhood centres, in their homes and how we as a society should be meeting them where they are and working with how they cope and how we need to cope with their emotions. Loved the learning Donna, you are awesome!! I also learned how self regulation is so valuable for all the relationships in our lives! My kete is filling and my heart is full ❤️
