What a wonderful morning spent learning with Rosie Newman Seattle Play Therapy . Today we had the opportunity to experience Rosie’s newly updated training on child- centered play therapy documentation, & taking an even deeper dive into the polarisation of themes within the play therapy process.
So grateful for Rosie’s wisdom in continuing to evolve & share this important work with the play therapy community. 🩷

Kindness, empathy, and safe boundaries are learned through connection. Play therapy helps children develop social-emotional skills, process interpersonal dynamic issues, and build resilience against bullying. Today, we stand together to create safer environments for all children. 🛡️ Safe spaces heal. 💙

And just like that, our final Business Support Meeting for 2026 is complete.
Meeting with this amazing group of humans every month has been such a privilege. It has been inspiring, heart filling, & incredibly special to watch each person grow - not only in their business, but in their confidence, clarity & belief in what they are creating.
I’m so grateful for the openness, vulnerability & connection they have brought to our meetings.
Thank you for such a wonderful 2026 Business Support journey 💜💚

Big feelings need safe spaces to be explored. On International Youth Day, we’re spotlighting the importance of developmentally appropriate mental health support. Play therapy isn't just for early childhood—tactile, expressive, and creative mediums give young people a voice when words simply aren't enough. 🎨💬
