Our classes take two forms

Group Sessions

Your child will be communicating individual creativity while connecting with the same group of children on a weekly basis. This will give them the opportunity to share thoughts, feelings and most importantly, express their uniqueness with one another. The goal is to build confidence in participating, co-operating and functioning within a group setting.

The Mi Smarts group program is offered for ages 5-7. Inspired by Psychologist Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory, Mi Smarts teaches children that we all have different minds, which play an important role in how we understand ourselves and the world around us. It is through our Smarts that young people get a chance to understand themselves and to explore different ways of learning and interacting. There are nine individual intelligences or SMARTS. Each represents and describes the the way we think, feel and learn. For more information, please go to - www.mismarts.com

Children are to sign up for a 10 - week program where they will learn how to celebrate their hearts and their minds!

Next group starting in Feb 2023. To sign up, please email me - limited places available.

Themes explored over the 10 week period:

Self-love, Empathy, Removing any creative restriction, Looking for the gifts inside the challenge, Freeing our feelings, Celebrating our differences

  • Each week children will be introduced to one of the Smarts and then move through a creative process that helps further explore the character and their connection to it.

  • Currently running for age group 5-7 years.

  • During the first session, children will learn the concept behind Mi Smarts and we will set up ‘Class Commitments’ to ensure kindness, compassion and a sense of togetherness before commencing on this 10 week creative journey.

Or for those that prefer more attention

Individual Sessions

Tailored to your child's needs. Sessions are focused on building imagination, articulating feelings through a range of creative mediums such as painting, drawing, clay work, collage and more...

Currently offering sessions to those ages 4+

  • During these sessions, children will be provided with patience and nurturing, enabling them to feel confident with their choices and free with their expression.

  • Children can express their feelings both verbally and non verbally through the combination of various artistic modalities. In a comfortable and relaxed space the emphasis is on the unique experiences and wishes of each individual child.

  • This is where we can determine whether or not we are a good match! I will take your child through an art process to help me understand them better in preparation for our future sessions.

Sandplay Therapy

Sandplay therapy involves “free expression, free creation within a safe boundary.”

Sandplay is sometimes described as an x-ray of the psyche. We begin with an empty Sandtray and as the session evolves, figurines are placed inside the tray; they can be moved, altered, changed at any time.

These figurines help symbolise certain aspects of the child’s internal and external world.

Instead of focusing on immediate behavioural problems or emotional disturbances, creating in the sand allows the unconscious to be projected onto the symbols. Trusting this concept; that what ever needs to be addressed will be reflected inside the Sandtray.

These symbols then provide spontaneous room for problem solving and behavioural transformations. The act of imaginary play and the excitement of being able to choose any of the magical figurines, all which are at the child's disposal, builds a sense of freedom making it possible for them to feel more at ease, enabling open communication and healing.

“Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain.” - Carl Gustav Jung
