Injury Decision Support for Dance Moms

Injury decisions feel like a high-stakes gamble where the currency is your child's future. Sometimes it feels like just one wrong choice, one missed specialist, or premature return to training, all can shatter your child's long-term health or career.

BUT, when a dance mom has a clear, integrative framework for injury decisions, she can protect her dancer's long-term health without fighting the system or guessing alone! 

 

That's why I'm running a small-group, LIVE 3-week support for dance moms who are done panicking, second‑guessing, and doing “whatever they’re told” when injuries happen.

STOP PANIC-DECIDING EVERY TIME YOUR DANCER GETS HURT

Use a calm, integrative process instead.

Instead of reacting from fear, pressure, or whatever the loudest voice says, you can use a simple decision framework to support your dancer's whole health without abandoning conventional care or your intuition.

  • Know exactly what to do first when your dancer gets hurt. 

  • Sort through conflicting advice from doctors, PTs, studio teachers, Google, Facebook moms, and grandmas.

  • Feel in control of your dancer's care when you walk into appointments with clear questions and priorities so you don't get rushed, dismissed, or talked into things you're unsure about.

  • Know how to combine holistic support with appropriate conventional care without feeling "reckless" or "rebellious."

  • Confidently know when it is truly safe for your dancer to return to the stage

  • Feel calmer and more grounded, so your dancer feels safer, more supported, and less scared when injuries or setbacks happen.

Integrative Framework for Injury Decisions is the Best Way for Making Life-Altering Health Decisions And Protecting Your Dancer's Long-Term Health And Career.

In this fast-approaching LIVE program, you will get small-group AND 1:1 individual support, an invaluable framework to use any time setbacks happen, and finally peace of mind regardless of the extent of the injury.

Injury Decision Support for Dance Moms: Founders Circle

 

This program goes beyond just learning how to make better decisions...

Have you considered the ripple effects of your dancer's injury? 

  • When our dancers are injured, we know the joy of dance is replaced by the complications of recovery and our dancer feeling like a 'broken project,' which can lead to compounded resentment that can last after the injury heals.

  • The financial and time drain that comes from 'options overwhelm,' more appointments, expensive treatments, and the search for the 'silver bullet' that seems to get more expensive and time-consuming, but still doesn't give the outcomes we seek.

  • Holding out on decisions can create tension between family and studio, causing more stress and increasing decision fatigue.

I've been there - I was the 'grieving' dance mom for the 'normal dance life', while being forced to navigate a medical maze without a map.

I KNOW that your struggle is NOT a lack of will, education, or care! Behind every health decision, there's a dance mom who just wants her dancer healthy, happy, and dancing.

What's Included In The 3-Week Support...

WEEK 1

THRIVE™ FRAMEWORK

Your dancer’s injury doesn’t have to define their future, or yours.

In this first week, you’ll learn the THRIVE™ Framework: a clear, practical way to navigate dance injuries and health challenges without panic, overwhelm, or second-guessing.

The THRIVE™ Framework helps you:

  • Respond to injury with clarity instead of fear

  • Make informed, aligned decisions about care, recovery, and support

  • Understand what to consider before choosing the next steps

  • Build a foundation for long-term health and resilience

By the end of this week, you’ll feel steadier, clearer, and more confident in how you support your dancer, now and moving forward.

WEEK 2

Power of 8 Process & Nervous System Regulation

Injury recovery isn’t just physical, it shakes confidence, focus, and emotional safety for the dancer and for you.

This week, you’ll learn the Power of 8 intention process: a simple, structured way to use focused group intention to support your dancer’s healing while calming both your nervous systems.

You will:

  • Learn what the Power of 8 is (and what it isn’t).

  • See how intention and attention shape the healing environment.

  • Experience a guided group intention session with built‑in nervous system regulation tools.

  • Support your dancer emotionally without adding pressure, “performance,” or expectations to heal faster.

This isn’t about forcing outcomes or magically “fixing” the body. It’s about creating a steadier emotional and energetic climate for recovery, so you both feel more regulated, connected, and supported as you move through this together.

WEEK 3

Q&A, Integration, Hot Seat

This week is about tying everything together and applying it to your real-life decisions.

You’ll bring your current questions, updates, and tough calls to a live Q&A and hot-seat-style session, where we walk through them step‑by‑step using the same calm, integrative framework from the program.

You will:

  • Get an opportunity for live coaching on your specific injury decisions, fears, and “stuck” spots.

  • See how other moms are navigating similar situations, and borrow language, questions, and ideas that fit your family.

  • Refine your plan for providers, communication, and next steps as your dancer recovers or returns to training.

  • Identify what worked, what still feels wobbly, and what support you want to keep in place going forward.

By the end of this week, you’ll leave with a clearer path, grounded next steps, and a repeatable way to approach future injury decisions with more confidence and less panic.

ALL WEEKS

Community 

You won’t be doing this in a vacuum—you’ll be inside a small, intentional group of dance moms who care about their dancers’ whole well‑being, not just their next performance.

Across the 3 weeks, you’ll have a space to share what’s really going on behind the studio smiles: the fears, the decisions, and the “am I the only one worried about this?” moments.

In this community, you can:

  • Hear how other moms are navigating injuries, difficult recommendations, and return‑to‑dance choices.

  • Borrow questions, scripts, and ideas that fit your values—without having to sort through noisy social media threads.

  • Feel seen and validated, instead of second‑guessing yourself or feeling “too much” for caring this deeply.

  • Build relationships you can keep leaning on, even after the Beta ends.

It’s not a giant, anonymous group; it’s a grounded circle where you and your dancer feel less alone, more supported, and more resourced every step of the way.

ANY TIME DURING THE PROGRAM

Rapid Injury Support Call 

Alongside the group sessions, you’ll get one private 45-60-minute call focused entirely on your dancer’s situation.

This is your space to slow everything down, lay out the details, and walk through decisions without noise, judgment, or time pressure.

In this call, you can:

  • Talk through your dancer’s injury history, current recommendations, and what’s keeping you up at night.

  • Map out your options using the same calm, integrative framework from the group, and prioritize what to do next.

  • Get language for talking with providers, coaches, and your dancer so you feel clear and grounded instead of reactive.

  • Identify small, doable supports (holistic and practical) that fit your family’s values and current bandwidth.

You’ll leave with a personalized game plan and a sense that you’re not carrying this aloneomeone has listened, helped you sort the noise, and stood with you in the decision.

This Support Is For You If...

  • Your dancer is injured, recovering, or in constant pain, and you feel pulled in different directions by doctors, PTs, teachers, and other moms.

  • You’re scared of making the “wrong” call: rest vs. push, PT vs. second opinion, surgery vs. wait, and you want a clearer way to decide.

  • You believe holistic support matters (nutrition, mindset, supplements, energy), but you also want to work with your providers, not against them.

  • You’re tired of crowdsourcing serious decisions from Facebook threads or AI that doesn’t know your child.

  • You want to be your dancer’s holistic performance advocate, not just the mom who pays the copays and hopes for the best.

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Karina -

I’m a dance mom of 13+ years and a health educator of over 20.
Before I was a mom, I worked as a community health educator in Africa and trained in both conventional and integrative health. I left medical school to pursue a deeper, whole-person approach to wellness, earning a Master’s in Integrative Health and now completing my Doctorate.

And then I became a dance mom.
That’s when theory met reality.

I watched devoted parents do everything right, seek expert care, follow recommendations, push through, and still see their dancers stuck in cycles of injury, exhaustion, and burnout.

The issue isn’t effort.
It’s the narrow lens we’re taught to use.

I created Thriving Dancers to help dance moms navigate health decisions with clarity and confidence, blending holistic wisdom with research-informed strategy, so you have options, not just protocols.

This isn’t about fixing dancers.
It’s about supporting the whole human behind the technique.
