Family Healing: Supporting Kids, Parents & Patterns with the Body Code
Kids as Energetic Sponges
Children are incredibly sensitive — especially in their early years. Before about age 7 or 8, their brains are mostly in theta-wave states, which means they absorb the energy around them without filtering or questioning.
That’s why kids often mirror what’s happening in the household. If a parent is stressed, anxious, or depleted, children can carry those feelings in their own little bodies — sometimes showing up as worries, tummy aches, restless sleep, or big emotions.
School transitions are one of the most common times this shows up. I’ve written more about this in How the Body Code Helps Kids with School Anxiety
In my work, I often find that children are simply reflecting the energy of the family field. It’s not that there’s anything “wrong” with them — they’re just incredibly attuned. And the beautiful part is, when we clear and rebalance the energy, kids respond so quickly.
Our Family’s Story
When I look back now, it feels like another lifetime. After my boys were born, I experienced postnatal anxiety — and it was no surprise that my kids mirrored this in their own ways.
My youngest developed obsessive-compulsive tendencies, needing to “reset” things if they felt off. My oldest battled extreme anxiety, sometimes to the point of panic attacks, and he couldn’t sleep alone.
At the time, it was overwhelming. But through Body Code work, nervous system support, and consistent clearing, things began to shift. Slowly, those patterns unraveled.
Now, my boys are completely different kids — happy, confident, well-adjusted, sporty, and thriving. And I’m different too. Sometimes it’s only when you reflect back that you truly see how far you’ve come.
My youngest is still my sensitive little empath. But instead of his sensitivity being a weakness, we now see it as one of his greatest strengths — and we have the tools to navigate it together.
Mums as the Energy Centre of the Household
In so many families, mums act as the energetic centre of the household. When mum is anxious, depleted, or carrying unprocessed emotions, the whole family feels it. Children especially will mirror her nervous system — if she’s calm, they relax; if she’s stressed, they often become unsettled too.
My husband often marvels at how the boys and I “feed off each other’s energy.” And he’s right — our moods and states are deeply connected. When I’m balanced and grounded, the boys are lighter, more confident, and resilient. When I’m anxious, it ripples straight through them.
This is why supporting mums is one of the most powerful ways to support kids. When a mother begins to heal — emotionally, energetically, and physiologically — she naturally creates a field of safety and balance that her children can thrive in.

Why Family Healing Matters
When one family member heals, the whole household feels it. A calmer parent creates calmer children. A child who feels safe and seen can blossom at school and in friendships. And when inherited energies are released, the ripple effect can be felt across generations.
Body Code family healing often addresses:
Absorbed or inherited trapped emotions that children carry without realising.
Imbalances formed in the womb that affect nervous system or digestive resilience.
Miasms (sickness resonances) that quietly run through family lines until cleared.
Family dynamics and nervous system stress that can be reset to allow more peace and flow.

It’s a practical resource for parents of sensitive kids — covering signs they may benefit, how sessions work, and the kinds of shifts families often notice.

Digestive symptoms are one of the most common ways kids show stress. I’ve shared a detailed story of how I helped my son heal from chronic gastro symptoms using the Emotion Code in this post here - it’s honestly still one of my favourite success stories and is really what put me on this path.
How a Family Healing Bundle Works
My Family Healing Bundles give you a flexible way to support your whole household. You can choose Zoom sessions (great for first-time clients who want to connect face-to-face) or remote sessions (ideal once you feel comfortable and want the ease of fitting it into family life).
Some families use their bundle to focus on one child; others spread it across siblings, parents, or a mix. What matters is that we follow the energy and work with what’s presenting most strongly.
Final Thoughts
Nothing depletes us more than stress — emotional, nutritional, or energetic. And when one family member is depleted or anxious, the whole household feels it. But when one person begins to heal, that healing radiates outward.
If your family has been carrying anxiety, sensitivity, or inherited patterns, know that change is possible — not just for you, but for your children and future generations.
👉 *Your family doesn’t have to stay stuck in cycles of stress, anxiety, or sensitivity. With my Family Healing Bundle, we work gently but powerfully at the energetic root — clearing absorbed and inherited patterns, calming the nervous system, and restoring balance for parents and kids alike.
Whether you’re new to this work and prefer face-to-face sessions on Zoom, or you’d like the ease of remote support, you’ll be held every step of the way. Healing one person creates a ripple effect — and when a mum feels lighter, the whole household shifts. If you’re ready to experience that shift, you can explore the Family Healing Bundle today.*
