As your parenting journey unfolds, Moon + Gem is beside you. We believe that holistic mental health care for parents and families is essential to the health and wellness of all communities.


 

Our therapeutic groups and psychoeducational workshops draw from a variety of modalities aimed at encouraging you to feel grounded in parenthood.

We want you to honour where you are at in this amazingly wild journey, while gently prompting and guiding you to feel a greater sense of ease and compassion towards yourself.


We like science and research, and are drawn to body-based modalities such as polyvagal theory and EMDR. We use an eclectic approach incorporating tools from DBT (dialectical behaviour therapy) CBT (cognitive behaviour therapy) as well as mindfulness based stress reduction strategies. We believe that knowledge is power, and embodying that power is what makes parents, well... superheroes!

Let’s cultivate more pleasure in parenting, shall we?
