Day 16 of our fidget advent calendar 💜
Zayna is back with me, and today’s surprise was a purple butterfly with two pop-it wings 🦋✨

Press, flip, pop… then do it all over again.
Simple, satisfying, and a big hit with little hands who love to stay busy while they play.

Took my favorite three-year-old on a little adventure today — introducing her to the magic of the Angel Tree 🎄🤍

We picked two kiddos and went shopping together… and she LOVED it.

She proudly chose a Frozen bike helmet and outfit for a 5-year-old girl, then helped me pick a scooter helmet, Sonic action figure, and two T-shirts for a 10-year-old boy.

Watching her light up while choosing gifts for someone she’s never met… that’s the part that melts me.
Kids feel kindness in their bodies — it boosts empathy, confidence, emotional development, and even regulation.

And honestly? She had just as much fun shopping for someone else as she does shopping for herself. 🥹✨

A little giving, a lot of heart, and a memory I’ll hold onto.
And a huge shoutout to my brother for shopping with two very indecisive women… lol. 🤣💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️

Day 15 of our Fidget Advent Calendar 🎄
Zayna is back to help us open today’s surprise — fuzzy stretchy animals! 🐾✨

These stretchy noodles are so satisfying to pull, squish, and fidget with… and they’re perfect for keeping hands busy while practicing slow, steady breaths.

P.S. Zayna made sure to remind everyone to subscribe to the video 😂 She cracks me up.

Day 14 – Fidget Advent Calendar 🎄

Today’s fidget: Pop-It keychains
A classic with sound + rhythm built right in.

Some kids regulate best with auditory input layered with tactile stimulation — repetitive popping, pressure through the fingers, and predictable feedback.
Simple, portable, and easy to use anywhere. 💛

Day 13 🦖💗
A tiny pink dinosaur that doubles as a finger puppet—perfect for pretend play, storytelling, and little stretches and squishes. Small toy, big imagination.

Holiday gift baskets for my interns are officially DONE 🎁✨
I picked every single item with intention — a mix of regulation, play, and “because you deserve something just for you.”

Each basket includes:
• Therapist regulation tools (putty, slow-rising squishies, punching balloon)
• Sensory + co-regulation supports (suckers, sour candy, fidgets)
• Tiny joy sparks (chocolate + puppets because yes, therapists get to play too)
• A cozy mug + Starbucks card for the moments we all need to breathe, reset, and refill ☕💛

Being able to pour into my interns the way they pour into their clients is one of my favorite parts of this season.
A little care, a little regulation, and a lot of gratitude.

Day 12 of the Fidget Advent Calendar! 🚗✨

Today’s surprise was a tiny takeoff car — small, speedy, and perfect for imagination and pretend play.
Such a fun little addition to the playroom, and I already know kids are going to launch this everywhere. 💛

✨ Holiday magic is basically this — a princess dress, a giant snowman head, and pure joy right in the middle of the store. ⛄️💜

These silly, spontaneous moments do more than make us smile — they help kids regulate, build confidence, and feel deeply connected to their grown-ups. Play is how their brains make sense of the world, especially during the busy holiday season.

Here’s to finding holiday magic through play, presence, and gentle moments all month long. 💛✨

👉 What’s a small, unexpected moment that brought you or your child joy this week?

Day 11 of our Fidget Advent Calendar!
Today we opened four bright, bouncy Koosh balls — one of my forever favorites. They give just the right amount of sensory input and light proprioception without being overwhelming. Perfect for squishing, stretching, tossing, and regulating little hands.

And of course… my special helper Zayna is back! She has this whole routine down — open, explore, and put it right into the fidget box. 😂💛

Simple, colorful, and a quick sensory win for nervous systems of all ages.

❤️

My special helper is back! Zayna returned today and immediately took charge — she knows exactly where every fidget goes, and yes… they must go right back in the fidget box immediately. 😂📦

Today’s fidgets were two little pea pod keychains — you squeeze them and the tiny peas pop out. These are some of my favorite fidgets because they offer:
• Perfect gentle pressure
• Repetitive movement for calming
• Great tactile input
• A satisfying “pop” that keeps little hands busy and regulated 💛

Simple, playful, and such a sweet sensory win.

Introducing my new helper today…🩷

Zayna, my 3-year-old niece, joined us for Day 9 of the Fidget Advent Calendar!

Today’s surprise was the fidget snake — a familiar favorite we already use in the office. Zayna took her job very seriously and was on a mission to find the one that matched. 😂🐍
Nothing like preschooler determination+ sensory fun to brighten the day!

The Beginning

Breathing Through Counseling & Wellness Services was created out of a desire to work individually with both children and adolescents, in an attempt to assist them in overcoming the adverse effects of trauma. Throughout my career, working with children in various capacities, I have seen the effects that unresolved trauma can have the individual, their families. and communities. These effects can be minimized when trauma survivors receive treatment tailored to meet their specific needs. Breathing Through Counseling & Wellness Services strives to be a safe place, where the therapist and client work together to create a specialized treatment plan based on the individual’s needs. It is my hope is that this will not just be the start of a business but the beginning of much healing.
