We believe that CHILDHOOD should be a magical period in the life of each child.
Children should be allowed to have fun and PLAY, which is serious business when it comes to a child’s health and development.  The many forms of play enrich a child’s brain, body and life in important ways.

CHILDREN SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE FUN AND ENJOY THE “MEANING OF JUST BEING A CHILD.”

Our CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES mostly determine how we approach life, how we cope with our day to day challenges, the way we make our decisions and deal with STRESS and TRAUMA.
Our own CHILDHOOD and how we were raised play such an important role in how we choose to raise our own families.
However, for more than 20 years of having the privilege of working with Traumatised children and their Families from around the world, I CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT PLAY IS THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE OF CHILDREN.  IT IS HOW THEY LEARN TO INTEGRATE OVERWHELMING EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL EXPERIENCES.  FUNDAMENTAL PLAY THERAPY as a Therapeutic Practice gently support, guide and empower our clients by working to regulate the Autonomic Nervous System through various playful mediums, awareness, movement, bodywork and sensory play.

Through PLAY and PLAY THERAPY children are able to make sense of life’s cruelties, day to day challenges and abuse that they might have been subjected to.
