✨ February Theme: Connection ✨

This month, we’re slowing down and leaning into what matters most—connection.
Connection to yourself… and even more intentionally, connection to the children in your life.

It’s found in the quiet moments.
The shared smiles.
The eye contact, the closeness, the “I see you, I’m here” moments that build safety and trust.

In February, we’ll be focusing on nurturing relationships through presence, play, and attunement—because children don’t need perfection, they need connection. 💛

Playroom restock = small tools, BIG regulation 💛

Bringing back two favorites that always earn their spot in the playroom:
🐒 Monkey Ring — a powerful sensory tool for releasing anger, building strength, and giving kids (and teens) the deep input their bodies are craving.
💎 Diamond Dots — perfect for focus, patience, and that yes-I-did-it sense of accomplishment that builds confidence from the inside out.

Sometimes it’s not about adding new things—it’s about restocking what we know truly supports regulation, expression, and growth through play.

I hope one day you see yourself the way she does—proud, playful, and exactly enough just as you are. 💗That’s the goal. ...

A lot of us started the year with intentions, goals, fresh energy…..and some of us have already fallen short.
That’s okay. 💛

You don’t need a new year to start again.
You don’t need a Monday, a milestone, or a perfect plan.
Change can begin any moment you choose to try again.

Give yourself grace.
Growth isn’t instant — it’s layered, messy, and human.
And you’re still allowed to begin… even now.

One of my favorite therapeutic tools in the playroom: A Little Spot of Emotions by Diane Alber 💛
The books and plushies give children a concrete, playful way to identify big feelings, build emotional language, and practice regulation skills in a safe, connected space. Through play, stories, and gentle co-regulation, kids learn that all emotions are welcome—and manageable.

Exploring. Building. Playing.
Following her curiosity and letting play lead the way ✨
This is how children learn about themselves and their world.

2026 intentions 🤍

This year isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing things on purpose.
This is what intentional living looks like for me in 2026:

1️⃣ Creating better work–life balance by choosing my projects intentionally, not automatically.
2️⃣ Showing up more vulnerable in business and on social media — less polished, more real, more me.
3️⃣ Stepping way outside my comfort zone… including traveling to Italy alone for therapy training (yes, I’m scared — and doing it anyway).

Growth doesn’t always feel confident. Sometimes it feels shaky, honest, and brave all at once — and I’m letting that be enough.

✨ What are your intentions for 2026?

Perfectionism can look like “doing everything right”…
but underneath, it often feels like pressure, worry, and fear of getting it wrong.

In play therapy, bibliotherapy helps children see themselves in a story—without being put on the spot.
📚 The Girl Who Never Makes Mistakes opens the door to gentle conversations about mistakes, flexibility, and what happens when we let ourselves be human.

Through play, kids get to explore those themes safely:
✨ making mistakes
✨ laughing through them
✨ noticing that connection doesn’t disappear when things aren’t perfect

This month’s theme is all about slowing down, softening expectations, and choosing presence over pressure—and stories like this help children practice that in a way that feels natural and supportive.

Because growth doesn’t happen when everything is perfect. It happens when we feel safe enough to try. 🤍

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.
