Harness the Power of Play!
With Purposeful Play, you will learn powerful play therapy techniques to help your child prepare for new life events and transitions, practice key skills, and process the natural ups and downs of life.
Make play your parenting superpower!
Play is everything to a child.
It is how they explore and make sense of the world.
It is how they practice new skills and try things out feelings & actions that they maybe can't in real life.
It is the medium with which they explore relationships and express BIG feelings.
IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY to go to the child's level and communicate with them through the medium with which they are most comfortable: PLAY!
That's exactly why I created

Look, here's the truth...
Parenting young kids is HARD. It's full on and there are aspects that are just. not. fun. But just because parts of it are hard does not mean we are condemned to misery, to drudgery, to the slog. We can CHOOSE to have fun as parents!
You don't have to enjoy every part of your child's childhood, but you CAN enjoy some of it! I want to equip you with the tools you need to actually have FUN as a parent. And NOT because it's work, or another thing on your to to list, or another thing you SHOULD be doing, but because you love your kids and you want to show them that love and because YOU deserve to enjoy this time in your life, too!
In this course, you will learn how to make warm, loving, and lasting memories that your child will CHERISH as they grow (and you will too). Because that's what it's all about, the RELATIONSHIP we have with our children. In this way, Purposeful Play gets to the very heart of conscious, respectful parenting, using play as the vehicle for the deep, authentic connection you are seeking.

Nope! While the skills you learn in this course will ABSOLUTELY support you in parenting with more empathy & connection and may even improve cooperation, you won't be learning any skills related to discipline and limit setting. To dig deeper into those topics through the lens of play, see my course Playful Healing
It is never too early or too late to learn these skills, but the ideal range for these play sessions is 2-7.
- If you have children younger than 2 you can join now & get really good at these skills to ease the transition to toddlerhood.
- If your child is older and they still love to play with toys and with YOU, then we'd love to have you as well!
- You of course know yourself and your child best!
NO. Let me say that again: NO. This course is meant to add tools to your toolbox but not replace family or play therapy with your child.
