Nobody wants to feel out of control.
Nobody wants to feel like the problem.
The meltdown is the nervous system doing its job.
Once you understand that, things can change.
11:00 AM - 12:30 PM CT, Via Zoom
You stop in the grocery store on the way home from school pickup.
Your kids are tired and probably hungry, but you promise it’ll only take a few minutes.
You’ve picked up the items you need as your youngest starts to whine about needing a snack. He grabs the sugary cereal he’s “always wanted to try”. You put it back and head towards the register to pay. You’re almost there, he starts yelling, grabs the cereal again, and throws the box of cereal on the floor.
Your face reddens. Your neck is tight.
You return the cereal and take his hand, speaking in a whisper that you have cereal at home and you’ll be there in 5 minutes. He stomps his foot, pulls his hand back, and shouts, “No! Now!”
You feel your face heat up as other shoppers notice the commotion.
You quickly grab his hand, dragging him towards the register, feeling embarrassed and upset.
You aren't failing as a parent.
Your child is not to blame.
You may both be reaching nervous system capacity and not know what to do about it.
Beyond the Meltdown is a body-led workshop that will help you understand what is happening in your body and your child’s body in these hard moments. This somatic approach allows you and your child to meet your bodies’ signs of approaching nervous system capacity with understanding and compassion.
My name is Carol Holguin. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist (TX 132669), Certified Trauma Touch Therapist™, and Somatic Coach with 35 years of working with bodies, the last twelve focusing mainly on how to work with trauma and stress through the body.
I created this workshop to offer a body-forward perspective that relieves the blame and shame and supports all the bodies in the room.
When I have shared this work with other mothers, the first thing they tell me is, “I wish I’d known this growing up.”
My hope is that your kids won’t have to say this in the future.
This is not therapy.
It is not family counseling.
Beyond the Meltdown is somatic education, body-led activities, and nervous system regulation techniques.
We’ll walk through what’s happening in the body.
Learn how to recognize signs of approaching nervous system capacity.
Practice activities that help you and your child reset.
And create a simple plan that you can use with your family at home.
Included with this workshop is a follow-up session where we can talk about what worked and what might need adjusting.
This first Beyond the Meltdown workshop will be held via Zoom on Sunday, November 22, 2026,
from 11:00 AM until about 12:30 PM CT(We may go slightly over, depending on questions.)
Investment: $47. (Future in-person Workshops: $179)
Space is limited to 12 participants to give you the attention and time you need without feeling rushed.
This is a beta version of the workshop. You receive a beta price in exchange for your participation and feedback. You will be helping me shape the version of this work that will become an online course as well as future workshops.
Your participation in the beta workshop gives you access to the online course at no additional cost once it is published.

You've got questions. We've got answers.

For this first workshop I am requesting moms only. Future workshops may include partners, grandparents, and other caregivers.
No, this workshop is for moms. I truly want an intimate space where we can speak and feel freely. No judgment.
The information being offered applies to toddlers through teens. I will suggest adjustments to use for different ages.
All materials used in the workshop will be provided for you a few days ahead of the workshop.
Dress comfortably, as we will be moving around during the workshop.
We will be following up on Sunday, December 13th at 11:00 AM CT, via Zoom
If you want to attend but know you can't make the follow-up session on December 13th, please contact me. Alternate options may include a private Zoom session, phone call, or emailed feedback form.
As this is a beta workshop where your participation and feedback are essential, I am unable to refund your registration unless I can fill your spot. Please let me know as soon as possible so I can offer your spot to someone else.
You may also transfer your registration to another mom. Please let me know the new name and email so I may send a confirmation.
If I have to cancel due to low enrollment, illness, or unavoidable conflict, your registration will be refunded in full, or you’ll be given the option to attend a rescheduled workshop.
