The Private Container

A private, high-touch container completely customized for your nervous system and lifestyle. Limited to a small amount of people at once, in order to deliver quality and focused care for you. We hear your story and get to know who you are, so we can best help you reach your desired life style.  

A smooth transition into your desired state - Every week looks a little different, on purpose. A phone call on a hard day. A video session when you need to be seen. A voice note when words are easier to send than to speak live. Homework sent throughout the week, and you can update us how it's going. This isn't flexibility for convenience — it's attunement. Your nervous system doesn't run on a fixed schedule, so neither does this.

the group
Limited to a small group of folks to maintain warm quality and continuity of care. When you sign up, you are creating your own self-growth container with May. Occasionally, there might be an option for group meeting for everyone participating - in person or virtual. Completely optional, if it interests you. This option is offered because embodied healing often happens through safe social connections. You heal even more when you practice showing up as your own self in front of others, without fear of judgement and allow yourself to receive support and connection with others.
the rhythm
A weekly touch-base, up to 120 minutes of support — call, video, voice note, self-reflection homework and grounding exercises. All support is scheduled ahead of time between you and May. Though it can be flexibly rescheduled to meet your energy level. There is no access to impromptu, crisis level support - no immediate or unscheduled support. 
the support
Processing Life -  a place to unload and figure out what you are carrying and how you are feeling. Nervous System - a place to learn how to manage stress and trauma. Improve sleep, calmness, substance use, overworking, physical ailments. Practical things to start doing in order to become a calm, happy and healthy person. On occasion, therapeutic touch therapy may be offered upon both client and May's consent. May is trained in EMDR and an excellent clinician who can help you process life experiences. She also promotes holistic mind-body approach - so taking a real look at how you spend your physical, mental, and emotional energy — from the moment you wake up to the moment you sleep. Reflection homework, new routines, and practices between sessions, built to create lasting, consistent change beyond one therapy session. 
the focus
The next level of support many people are looking for — expert trauma processing and nervous system regulation, paired with the soft life-skill building that makes mental wellness actually stick. Insurance receipts for Social Worker, Mental Health, and Psychology coverage can be provided — check your extended health insurance coverage.

Is this for you

Is this for you?

This is for you if you haven't thoroughly processed some life experience. Your present is impacted by the past and unconscious beliefs. Your body and energy feels off - you are either overworking or disengaged in life. Your mood swings, sleep is hard and/or you have hard time trusting your self, the world and others. If you are ready to open up, and explore your inner world in this innovative container - come access ths evidence based therapeutic space. Make sense of your psychology, learn mental health life skills.

This is not a fit if you're currently in a mental health crisis or experiencing suicidal thoughts. This container doesn't offer immediate, timely crisis support that you deserve. Instead, you are encouraged to reach out to a crisis lines (such as 9-8-8 or 9-1-1 for Canada) and/or speak to your doctor, and/or community mental health organizations (such as 2-1-1 in Toronto).

Our approach

Healing that starts in the body, not the to-do list

Most adults who come to us are capable, high-functioning, and quietly exhausted from managing everything alone. Our work isn't about adding more insight — it's about restoring the nervous system's ability to feel safe and processing your life experiences, so the rest can finally settle.

Regulation before insight

You can understand a pattern for years without it changing, because insight lives in the mind and dysregulation lives in the body. We start where the nervous system actually is.

Trauma-informed, always

Every part of this practice — pacing, format, language — is built with an understanding of how trauma shapes the body and the nervous system's response to safety.

Held, not fixed

You are not a problem to be solved. This is a relationship that holds steady while you do the slow, real work of coming back to yourself.

We draw from evidence-based modalities — including CBT, DBT, ACT, Somatic Experiencing, and Internal Family Systems — always in service of the whole self: mind, body, and heart.

One mission, two practices

Regulated adults raise regulated children

Down to Earth Support is the sister company of Calm School™, which brings social-emotional learning and mental wellness education to children. We believe children thrive when the adults around them — parents, caregivers, teachers, the whole village — are regulated and supported too. This practice stands on its own as serious work for adults. But it shares Calm School's belief that healing ripples outward — to the people you love, and the children in your life.
