The Big Emotions Bootcamp 💜 Girls & Mum | The Valley, Brisbane

Help Your Daughter Navigate Big Emotions & Life With Confidence.

Big feelings can be overwhelming — especially when you're 8. You see it every day: the shutdown before school, the explosive outbursts over nothing, and the worry that keeps her up at night, leaving you both exhausted.

Join us for a fun and interactive 70-minute Bootcamp where mums and daughters aged 7-12 learn real-time techniques to manage big emotions — using tools from the world's best child development experts.

What You'll Learn Together

No boring lectures here! It's an active, hands-on mum-daughter experience where you'll both:

• Learn calming techniques that actually work in tough emotional moments 😌
• Discover breathing methods that settle worry and upset in under 60 seconds 🫁
• Practice eye and body exercises that interrupt anxiety before it spirals 👁️
• Take home skills she can use anytime, anywhere — no app required 🤸🏻

Backed By Real Science 🧠

The Big Emotions Bootcamp was developed in direct partnership with Dr. Andrew Huberman — Stanford neuroscientist and host of the world's #1 health podcast — and Ryan Soave, therapist and emotional regulation specialist. Together, we've adapted their tools and strategies for girls aged 7–12, making complex neuroscience accessible, practical, and genuinely fun.
