Soothing Stitches - Nervous System Regulation Through Crochet - 4-Part Workshop Series

Soothing Stitches - Nervous System Regulation Through Crochet - 4-Part Workshop Series

$140.00 Sale

Crochet isn’t just a craft — it’s a science-backed way to calm your body and mind.

In this unique four-part series, you’ll learn to crochet step by step while also exploring the neuroscience behind how crocheting regulates the nervous system. Each session pairs a crochet skill with a deep dive into what’s happening in your brain and body as you stitch — from reducing anxiety and rumination, to boosting serotonin and building self-trust.

Dates: Thursdays, October 16, 23, 30, and November 6, 2025
Time: 7:00 – 9:00 pm
Location: Carrier Counselling & Consulting, Unit 200 - 190 Wortley Road, London, ON

Skill level: Beginner. No experience required

What's Included:

    • Four 2 hour workshops (8 hours total)
    • Crochet hook + yarn
    • Step-by-step beginner crochet instruction
    • Science-based psychoeducation on nervous system regulation
    • Tools to reduce stress, calm anxiety, and build resilience
    • A creative new hobby with lifelong wellness benefits

    This innovative series blends art and science in a way that makes nervous system regulation both accessible and creative. You’ll walk away not only with crochet skills, but also a clear understanding of why this simple, rhythmic practice is so powerful for mental wellness — knowledge you can use for the rest of your life.

    I bring to this series over a decade of crochet expertise, years of teaching, my lived experience with CPTSD and ADHD, and my training in social service work. My academic research into crochet and the nervous system confirmed what I had already experienced in my own healing: crochet is more than a hobby — it’s a tool for resilience.
