Learning/Executive Functioning Skills Training

Research suggests that our brains grow, share, communicate and are connected in patterns that are similar to complex root systems found in trees and beings. It is in this spirit that I am driven to help blend these different ways of knowing to help adolescents and adults learn and succeed in many life areas. 

​​

Learning and Executive Functioning (EF) skills training involves the instruction and modelling of proven evidence-based strategies designed to help you or those you care about to perform better in school, connect socially or with peers, gain more enjoyment in ones job and complete day-to-day tasks.

Humans have also been shown to show more focus and sustained attention when they are in natural spaces. It is with this knowledge that I am greatful to be able to practice in the solitude and natural privacy offered at The Yurt in Cochrane. Such a space will allow a chance to find fun, ease and productivity so you and those you care about can meet your learning or life goals. ​

What are Executive Functions (EFs)?​

Executive functions are the mental skills that help us manage our thoughts, actions, and emotions achieve goals. They include abilities like planning, organizing, and paying attention. For example, when a student creates a study schedule for exams, they are using their planning skills. Similarly, when someone remembers to take breaks while working on a project to stay focused, they are exercising self-control. These functions are essential for everyday tasks, from managing time effectively to solving problems.
