Absolutely! In a course, you get access to a defined set of content, and perhaps support in implementing it over a short period of time. Courses work really well when you have very specific problem and information (workshops, downloads, etc.) is the primary thing you need to help you solve that problem.

In a membership, you're embarking on a journey that includes so much more than just learning concepts. Yes, you'll get access to all those educational workshops, but you'll also get access to live Q&A calls with Natalie to help you implement & integrate those concepts in your everyday life, you'll get access to our incredible Guest Workshops that dive deeper on the specific topics & challenges you may be navigating, you'll benefit from the multiple learning modalities we have inside Raising Us (video, audio, written summaries, live calls, recorded calls), and a community forum with some of the most amazing parents out there! Plus you get access to our living library of resources - meaning they're continually being updated and added to over time. Which you'll retain access to for as long as you're a current member. 

Think of Netflix, but with a group of badass parents you actually wish you could hang out with in real life! That's Raising Us.

Yes. Once you sign up you'll get an email with a link inviting you to setup a profile on our Raising Us platform, which is hosted on Circle. You can access the content from your computer, or you can download the Circle App and access it right from your phone. Once your profile is setup you'll be able to see all of our workshops, coaching call recordings, podcast episodes, resource library and community posts. You'll also receive new content as it gets released.

Raising Us is a membership, not a course, which means that as long as you are a member you can access the content. However, as soon as you cancel your membership you will lose access to the content library, just like Netflix!

The best part of a membership, however, is that you get to pay a much lower fee for access to all the incredible content that would cost A LOT more if it was inside of a course. 

Because of the digital nature of the material there will be no refunds provided. It is also your responsibility to cancel your membership if you wish to avoid future charges.

This membership is not a replacement for therapy, nor is it considered mental health or clinical support. Raising Us is considered psycho-educational parent coaching, and while not therapy, is a great additional support to therapy.

Yes, you can absolutely go through Raising Us together with your partner and many do! You can watch the content together or each sign in on your own devices with the email you used to sign up. I just ask that you please not share the materials otherwise. You will only receive one login per family.

Oof, trust me, I totally understand! Here's the thing: Raising Us is built to accommodate busy parents with different needs and learning styles.

Which means that it's completely up to you how quickly or slowly you move through the content, whether you choose to show up for live calls or watch the recordings, whether you find yourself gravitating towards some topics or modalities more than others.

Think of it this way - there are 30+ hours of workshops & recordings inside of Raising Us (and more being added every month), but YOU GET TO CHOOSE which pieces of content are relevant and important to your parenting & healing journey.

But here's what I'll say, yes it takes work to get the most out of this membership. You'll probably spend a couple of hours watching or listening to the recorded content every month. There will also be between 3-6 hours of completely optional live calls every month (which are always recorded).

You get to choose how quickly or slowly you want to move through through Raising Us.

There is no "right" way to show up inside our membership.

And remember, there is no falling behind inside Raising Us.

And there is no pressure to get through every last piece of content inside of the membership. Instead, trust yourself to find your way towards the topics and types of content you connect with the most. 

Yes! The only thing that happens at a designated time are our monthly Q&A calls that happen once a month, our guest speaker sessions & our optional support group calls that currently happen once a month (and are led by the wonderful Sarah Ashton, Mental Health OT & Parenting Coach). We do our best to ensure that the live calls are at different times to ensure that those in different time zones can make at least 1 live call a month if they wish. 

However, all Q&A & Guest Speaker calls are recorded, so if you can't attend live you can watch the replay anytime you like. And for those who can't attend the live calls, submitting your questions to be answered on the "podcast" is a great alternative!

Alright, I get it - you've read all the books, you follow all the parenting accounts, you've taken all the courses - so what else can Raising Us teach you that you haven't already learned?

Here's what I can tell you - the parents inside of Raising Us are a lot like you and yet, what they tell me over and over again is that Raising Us has helped them understand their kids and themselves in a way that nothing else ever has.

What I'll also say is this - Raising Us is unique in it's ability to be a holistic resource that supports the needs of your ENTIRE family. Most parenting courses or memberships are heavily focused on the needs of our kids, while most healing courses are focused on the needs of us grown-ups, but Raising Us manages to seamlessly do both. In part because I am uniquely trained to work with BOTH parents and kids. 

I'm an occupational therapist - with pediatric training and experience - but I'm also a psychotherapist who primarily works with adults looking to heal from past traumas or childhood wounds or old coping mechanisms that are no longer working for them. 

But above all else, I'm a mother - a neurodivergent & cycle-breaking mother - who practices this work day in and day out with my own sensitively-wired children. I don't just teach the tools, but I live them alongside you, and I do believe that's part of the magic of Raising Us. 

What's also important to know is that Raising Us is living breathing membership community and provides you with so much more than just "content". It is truly structured to help you integrate all that you are learning and our supportive community is here to help you when you get stuck. And, let's be real, you will get stuck. But when you do, we'll be here to help you find your way back to where it is your journey is meant to be taking you.

Yes, absolutely! This is a wonderful resource for anyone working with children, parents or families and the quantity and quality of the content I'll be offering, along with the opportunity to ask questions in the Q&A calls, makes it a no brainer of an investment if you're interested in bring more nervous system & trauma-informed tools into the incredible work you're doing in the world with sensitively-wired families.

At the moment there is no scholarship program for Raising Us. But it's something the team is working on for the future!

Natalie is a registered occupational therapist & psychotherapist based in Toronto, Canada. She has done extensive training, including: CBT, DBT, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, CBT-Insomnia, Internal Family Systems, Postpartum Support International, Emotion Focused Therapy, Sensory Integration Therapy, Baby Led Sleep & Wellbeing and more.

I totally get it, believe me. Especially if you, like me, have been burned by the online course & membership world and have signed up for programs in the past only to realize that they spent more time creating their marketing materials to get you inside their course than they did actually creating the program itself. 

I never want to be one of those people! In fact, I pretty much need to have daily conversations with my inner perfectionist who is hell bent on making sure that every single person who signs up for Raising Us walks away with their mind blown by how much value is packed inside.

But, if you don't believe me, just take a look at all the testimonials from current Raising Us members that I've shared on this page. Or check out the video of our Raising Us platform below. Or just take the leap and sign up for $147! And think of everything you're getting for the cost those two new bathing suits you've been eying or that dinner out with your family. 

To put it another way, just think about the fact that it costs a whole lot more than $147 to work with me 1:1 for a 50 minute session. But for that same price you're getting 3 months with me, our wonderful community, our content library and so much more. And if you absolutely hate it, which I doubt you will, you can cancel your membership at the end of those 3-months, no strings attached.

Here's what I know for certain - if you've gotten this far down the page and you're still reading this then I know it's because you have a feeling that there's a gap between the relationship you have with your child, or perhaps the relationship you have with yourself, and what you believe this whole parenting journey could really look and feel like for you.

So yes, you could buy another book or keep engaging with free parenting content online OR you could invest in the transformational growth, learning, healing & community that Raising Us has to offer.

And if you still have questions about whether it's the right fit for you and your family, don't hesitate to reach out to our team at hello@highlysensitivefamily.com
