Transform Your Life with Holistic Solutions
Through Behavior Science and Holistic Practices
ABAwakened
Holistic Behavior Consultation
ABAwakened is a holistic behavior consultation company that integrates Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) through mindfulness and compassionate practices. The founder, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and a certified yoga, mindfulness, and meditation teacher, with over 18 years of professional training and experience in special and general education, aims to help individuals, families, and organizations choose and maintain behaviors and habits that support their social, behavioral, emotional, and mental health.
Why holistic? In an ever-changing fast-paced world, an understanding that our overall wellness is rooted in how supported we feel socially, behaviorally, emotionally, and mentally is key to living a values-based life at optimal capacity. Life moves fast, and navigating the rapid changes and transitions we experience means learning how to remain “rooted” and “supported”. At ABAwakened, we can practice this through a variety of holistic practices, including mindful movement, breathwork, and meditation.
We’d love to connect with you so we can tell you more about our unique services!
What is ACT?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
According to the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is “a unique empirically based psychological intervention that uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies, together with commitment and behavior change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility means contacting the present moment fully as a conscious human being, and based on what the situation affords, changing or persisting in behavior in the service of chosen values”.
