A LIVE ONLINE WORKSHOP
Nervous System Safety for Parents of PDA Children
When your child doesn’t feel safe, nothing else works.
In this live workshop, you’ll learn what they’re actually responding to, and how to change it at the source.
Live Online Workshop — Monday 20th April, 9:30am AEST (Sydney/Melbourne Time)
Recording will be sent to all registrants
Parenting a PDA child is unlike anything you were prepared for.
The meltdowns. The overwhelm. The constant walking on eggshells.
The desperate desire to help your child.
And the feeling that nothing you try makes a difference.
Maybe you’ve found some answers.
Maybe you’re still searching.
Either way, life is still really hard.
And you’re exhausted.
What if the missing piece isn’t just about your child?
Your child’s nervous system is constantly scanning for safety at a subconscious level.
Beyond words, beyond strategies, beyond anything you can “do right.”
They’re responding to your internal state. Not your effort. Not your intentions.
Your nervous system.
I'm Roisin
I know this because it was my story.
At the age of six my daughter experienced severe PDA burnout.
She was unable to leave the house and she stopped talking, playing, and interacting. I was desperate to help her.
I tried everything.
Read all the books.
Listened to every expert.
Did everything I was supposed to do.
And my daughter was still unreachable and stuck.
What changed everything was understanding this:
She wasn’t responding to what I was doing.
She was responding to what I felt.
I began practicing an intentional parasypathetic breathwork method, and as my nervous system strengthened, so did hers.
I'll never forget the first time she pulled on a dress and shakily creeped out of the front door for the first time in months.
This workshop is for you if:
• You’ve tried everything, or don’t even know where to start
• You lose it sometimes, and the guilt lingers long after
• You’re exhausted in a way sleep doesn’t fix
• You love your child deeply, and some days you don't know how you'll keep going
• You sense the answer is deeper, but can’t quite reach it
• You're curious to try a practice to increase the safety in your own nervous system
In this 60-minute workshop, you’ll:
• Understand why your child responds the way they do, and why it makes complete sense
• Understand your own reactions, and see that you make sense too!
• Understand the powerful connection between parent-child nervous systems
• And how you can give your child the safety they need by creating it in your own nervous system first
• Experience a guided breathwork practice that creates a real shift in your nervous system
• Leave with something you can use immediately
This Is Where Real Change Happens
This isn’t more information to try and apply later.
The centrepiece of this workshop is a live, guided breathwork practice.
Because real change doesn’t happen at the level of thinking.
It happens in the body.
You won’t just understand nervous system safety.
You’ll feel it.
This Is Where Real Change Happens
When this foundation starts to shift, everything else begins to land in a way it couldn’t before.
Connection with your child start to feel easier.
Your responses come more naturally, without the constant second-guessing.
Even the intensity of those hard moments stops affecting you in the same way.
Not because your child has suddenly changed, but because your nervous system has what they need.

Is this suitable if my child has a PDA profile?
Yes. This workshop is specifically designed for parents of children with a PDA profile, where traditional approaches often don’t work. The focus is on nervous system safety, which sits underneath all behaviour.
What if I’ve already tried interventions and therapies but they haven't worked?
That’s exactly who this is for.
Most parents who come to this workshop have already read the books, tried the strategies, and are still feeling stuck. This isn’t about adding more techniques — it’s about addressing what sits underneath them.
Do I need any experience with breathwork or nervous system work?
No. You don’t need any prior experience.
Everything is guided in a simple, accessible way. You just need to show up and be willing to participate
What actually happens during the session?
You’ll be guided through an understanding of how your child’s nervous system works, how your own responses are shaped, and why in the momen strategies alone don’t land.
The core of the session is a live, guided breathwork practice so you can experience a real shift — not just understand it.
