Introduction
For half a decade now, I've been on an incredible journey, working closely with children on the autism spectrum. This isn't just a job for me; it's a passion and a calling. As a dedicated DIR Floortime practitioner, I have honed the art of crafting individualized programs that have the power to ignite your child's developmental journey.
But I understand that for parents, this path can sometimes feel like a solitary road, filled with uncertainty and isolation. That's where my role as a Family Counselor comes into play. I'm here to be your compass, guiding you through this journey in a way that's not only effective but also enjoyable. Together, we'll embark on a voyage of connection and play that not only benefits your child but also brings you closer as a family.
Let's work hand in hand to create a nurturing and supportive environment where your child can thrive, and where you can find the support and companionship you need on this remarkable journey.

I would like to make everyone think openly and deeply like Claudia has made us; sensitive to every need of everyone around. We are sometimes stubborn and we don’t want to think out of the box.
We suppose we know everything the best. The best for us, the best for our children.
But do we really get all the signals right? Do we really listen and do we take time to think about our answer, reaction, expression?
This course is not just about connecting to your children. To do so, you learn that you need to first propreely connect to the child within yourself. It can be somehow surprising how much care and connection all children need, your small self included!
Claudia has a gift of being a gentle and encouraging guide helping to unpuzzle the deep patterns of our behavior which can hurt our children.
As she always offers some solution.
Thank you Claudia for squeezing the best of us!
Claudia’s workshop ‘’Connecting 2 Children’’ was a mind-opener, it provided a fresh perspective on children and how to interact with them. From re-discovering our inner child to the exercises and tools she provided us with, this has been a very interesting journey for all participants. What I liked the most about this course is that Claudia doesn’t offer you a bag with tricks to use with kids, but a whole approach that can be used with adults as well and that will reshape the way we interact with other people and with ourselves as well.
I’m glad I participated in this course and I would recommend it to parents or professional figures working with children.
