Principles of Butterfly Roots
Supporting communities to lay the foundations of good health
Connect well
We need strong connection, attunement and attachment in our relationships to help lay the foundations of good health.
Sleep well
We grow, refuel, repair and process during sleep. Consistent, quality sleep will always benefit our health.
Free play, real PLAY. Letting imaginations run wild. Play is how both children and adults can learn about the world and their place in it.
Play well
Go Wild
We need nature, adventures outdoors and time to feel connected to the earth. Our emotions can feel more manageable in an outdoor open space. Nature is a wonderful teacher and a powerful healer. Mud, water, leaves, sticks and a group of friends are sometimes all you need.
Move Well
Getting active, moving our bodies, building strong muscles and bones as well as forming positive sensory connections between our body, brains and nervous system is key to well balanced health.
Eat well
Starting with supported and successful breastfeeding. Followed by a varied and nutritious diet, full of gut friendly foods. A diverse microbiome has a huge benefit to our physical and emotional health.
