Play RE-WIRED

Learn to Play - Karen Stagnitti

When nature doesn't seem to have gifted us with play, or our brain seems to be wired all wrong, there may have been interruptions to our play development. We can rewire the brain, and teach it what it missed, through “Learn to Play”. 


A play assessment will identify areas of strength and areas that could use some work.  Improving play ability helps to make play time with other kids more fun, helps us to make friends and reduces the need for behaviour management.

Play RE-IMAGINED

Humanistic Play Therapy

As your child becomes the focus of a humanistic play intervention, their play will provide new insights into the tools that they naturally use to self-regulate and operate in their world.  Within the protective space of the playroom, they explore and resolve inner challenges through play. 

Let me interpret their social and emotional play development and communicate themes with you, so that you can receive the benefits of understanding them from a new perspective, through their primary form of communication - PLAY!    

Play RE-GENERATED

Play's not just for the young, 'get your play on', increase your family's resilience to stress and strengthen your relationship with your child in one of the most effective ways possible.  Evidence-based and proven to have a positive effect on all areas of a child's development, it's a seriously valuable intervention with inter-generational benefits (VanFleet).

Play RE-WILDED
