Have you ever met someone and immediately felt safe? Like this person is trustworthy, warm, would see you through the hardest of things? Meet Dr. Eshleman - Lark, as she prefers to be called. She embodies the work she does by modeling safe relationships, bringing her deep knowledge and experience of attachment and trauma, and by demonstrating her life long passion for helping children heal from ruptured connections early in their life.

I don't know about you, but relationships and healthy attachments feel so foundational to all other wellness in our lives and also the most complicated to understand and repair when things have been severed. Lark brings so much understanding, grace, warmth and clarity around both the hardest of the experiences and the steps towards healing.

If you are parenting a child who has experienced ruptures in their early attachments, Lark wants you to know what you can be actively doing to facilitate healing in your families. So please tune in for this episode, you won't be disappointed.
