Rooted Resilience: A Self-Care Course for Parents of Anxious Kids

When you feel calm and confident, your child learns how to be calm and confident, too.

By the end of the course, you’ll feel more:

  • Energized (even if your days are still full)
  • Clear-headed (even if your child is struggling)
  • Capable (because you're giving yourself what you need to show up with strength)

 Parenting a child with big feelings—especially anxiety—can be incredibly rewarding but also deeply draining. You’re managing school stress, bedtime battles, social worries, and meltdowns… all while juggling work, laundry, and your own mental load.

You love your child. You want to show up as your best self. But when you're running on empty, that’s hard to do.

That’s where this course comes in.
Rooted Resilience gives you the tools—and the permission—to care for yourself in a way that’s practical, doable, and deeply needed.

This isn’t indulgent self-care. It’s survival-level care—for the parent of an anxious child.

We focus on six essential foundations of well-being that actually move the needle on stress, burnout, and emotional exhaustion:

🛌 Sleep – Simple strategies to help you feel more rested—even if your nights are interrupted.
☀️ Sunlight & Movement – Gentle, realistic ways to re-energize your body and mood.
🤝 Connection – How to lean into your relationships instead of isolating yourself.
😂 Laughter – Using joy and humor as fuel for resilience.
💙 Self-Compassion – Rewriting the “I’m not doing enough” script in your head.
🧘 Awareness – Tools to stay grounded and present, even when life gets chaotic.

I'm Erin Olheiser

I’m a child therapist specializing in anxiety and highly sensitive children.

I help families find what works through an integrated approach that blends:

  • 🧠 Cognitive-behavioral strategies to manage anxious thoughts and feelings
  • 🎨 Play therapy to help children express emotions in a safe, supportive space

My courses tackle the real challenges families face, guiding you toward stronger, calmer relationships — and a home where everyone can thrive.
