A 7-Layered Guide to Emotional Development, Somatic Awareness, and Sacred Parenting
The Nervous System SoulMaps™ are a visual, developmental guide designed to help parents, caregivers, educators, and practitioners understand the emotional and physiological imprints that shape a child’s behavior and sense of self. Rooted in pre & perinatal birth psychology, somatic healing, nervous system regulation, and spiritual development, each SoulMap reflects one of the 7 core developmental layers of childhood.
More than charts, these maps are tools for transformation—supporting reflection, repair, and reconnection across generations.
Each map explores:
Emotional and behavioral regulation (safety, hyper, and hypo states)
Embodied learning themes specific to each developmental stage
Core needs and how they manifest when unmet
Body ecology and related physiological systems
Developmental affirmations to support healing and integration
Exploration prompts to deepen dialogue with children and self

✨ Why It Matters
Children are not just learning how to behave—they are learning how to belong to their bodies, their emotions, their families, and the world. These SoulMaps support adults in recognizing the root cause of dysregulation and responding with empathy, presence, and attunement.
They are also a mirror for the adult’s own journey—helping us reparent our inner child, and step into conscious, embodied caregiving.
