My name is Jennifer Swanson and I am thrilled to be a part of this amazing group of practitioners here at EVOLVE Movement! As a trained Neurobehavioral Facilitator of the FASCETS Neurobehavioral Model, a Parenting, Trauma and Neural Retraining Coach, I am a passionate advocate for individuals who are Neuro-divergent/Differently-abled and persons with FASD (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome). My most important role, however, is parenting, caring and advocating for my own Neuro-unique child.

I am here to support you as a Parent and Brain-Based Conditions Facilitator, who was once a FASCETS client myself. I want to share with you a way to deeply understand your child’s unique brain and support your child while experiencing the strongest, most connected relationship possible . I am here with the message of hope, resiliency and greater understanding. I am here with the drive to show you your child is a miracle that is just waiting to show you their strengths and gifts. Your child will be your greatest life teacher. I am here to tell you that once your child’s brain difference is understood and how they are experiencing the world along with the support that is needed, everything changes. Everyone's life will shift and your child will blossom in the most unexpected ways, as will you. I am here to help you find your way of trying differently with your child, not harder. My support services aim to assist you in moving into acceptance of this beautifully different path in life with those you support that are neuro-unique. 

Together we will learn to hold space for all the grief, address concerns, and link brain function with behaviors. By doing this we can look for creative ways to intervene and create an optimal environment for your child. We will look where the child is being stretched and move into a strength based lense of intervention and scaffolding. You will understand how the brain is influencing your child’s experience in this world and what they need to be their very own version of success.. 

My role as a Coach and Facilitator for FASCETS is to spread awareness that FASD and other Brain differences are physical, and how they need to be accommodated just the same as physical differences may require a hearing aid or wheelchair. I am driven to see how we can improve life experiences and support the unique and special people in our lives. I know firsthand it is possible to reduce the stress and trauma for everyone involved and create the deepest, most powerful connection to both ourselves and our child. I would love to assist you to create the highest vision for your relationship with your child and with yourself. We will explore self-regulation through neural retraining techniques because the more regulated we are, the more regulated our children will be. Life can become more compassion-filled and peaceful.

We all have the same needs regardless of our Brain’s developmental functioning. We need to be seen, heard, understood, to explore our unique interests, to rest and be delighted deeply. When this happens, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. When this happens, you will be amazed by the person that unfolds before you!

When we as caregivers release the control of outcomes for our children, and move into acceptance, freedom will be felt by everyone. 

We all deserve the freedom to shine just as we are!

Much Love,

Jennifer
