Transitions at all stages of life can be challenging. Even in our daily life we can underestimate the impact of transitions. Starting school can be emotionally challenging for children, often bringing feelings they don’t yet have words for. In these sessions, we combine somatic (body-based) awareness with art and creative play to help your child express what they’re experiencing in safe, non-verbal ways.

Somatic based and art interventions are exceptional tools during these times of change. The world of imagery and movement helps children make sense of emotions that may feel overwhelming or confusing, while supporting communication, emotional regulation, and nervous system balance. This approach also supports sensory integration, motor skill development, and attachment repair — all of which are vital for helping children build confidence and adjust to new environments with greater ease.
