“It is a privilege to enter children’s worlds through play. I have deep reverence for this work, and the wisdom shared by children when we can be still, present and tune in to what isn’t said in words. I believe we all have a great capacity for healing and change with understanding, non-judgement, compassion and empathy.

I have two young children, and am happiest when swimming in the ocean, or snuggled up at home with a warm mug of cacao in hand.”
