DPK was not just a training, it was a mind-body experience. For me it was an expressive explosion of joy going outward through dance, asana and play. I left with a tool box spilling over with practical applicable ideas and tools to bring mindfulness and yoga to children. Missy is an incredibly talented and gifted leader and teacher. This training was profoundly impactful and an inspirational experience

I am excited to be offering private sessions in person and over Zoom. Designed to meet each individual exactly where they are with safe and supportive space. Re-creatable tools for building self-esteem, self-regulation and resilience, not only for the worst day, but for all days! For all ages and all populations. Mindful, kindful adaptable experiences that can be popped into home and daily life. For some children and teens, there is an increase in anxiety, depression, isolation, negativity and perfectionism. While the why is being examined and explored, for me the ask is - how can we support them in building stronger mental wellness? They don't need to be 'fixed', they are perfect and whole. We can support them in learning tools and strategies to help themselves navigate. There is also an increase in these and more across all ages and populations. YES we need to put on our oxygen mask first and we must refill our wells to best give to others. Studies have been linked with a strong sense of self and increased mental well-being. Our own self care is no longer a luxury, it is essential. Please connect with me to learn more at 203-858-6509 or deepplayforkids@gmail.com. If I regulate myself, this may support another I am with to shift their dis-regulation, and together we can share a skillful self-regulation dance to not only survive but to thrive!
“My 7 year old daughter had been struggling with managing her temper and emotions. Sometimes it would look like big tantrums, sometimes it would be heartbreaking crying sessions with talk of self doubt. I tried every approach I could think of to help her work through it, but I hit a wall. That’s when Missy and Deep Play for Kids entered our world through private one-on-one Zoom sessions. I was surprised at how Missy instantly connected and created trust with my daughter (even over Zoom!). With each session, she introduced new tools and fun ways to help my daughter recognize and manage her own emotions. She looked forward to each Zoom call. After each call, my daughter would teach me the tools she learned, so I could help her use them in those tough moments. After a few weeks, I heard that my daughter helped resolve a conflict between two of her friends at school by teaching them some of her tools from Missy. It made my heart sing! The student had become the teacher! I am so grateful to Missy for teaching my daughter (and me) these important skills. I highly recommend her coaching sessions!” ~ Jen B.
My daughter has been struggling with anxiety and OCD for years. She had a hard time functioning in her daily life and it was painful to witness. We are so thankful that we learned about Missy and her one-on-one services. I can honestly say that her work with my daughter has made a huge difference in her life. We have watched her go from being crippled by fear and anxiety to experiencing more joy, self confidence and independence. My daughter looks forward to her meetings and is always excited to teach us the skills she learns. Missy has a true gift and we are forever grateful for the support she’s given our family. ~ Alyssa M

I am blessed to have had the experience of studying with Missy in her DPK training. She is a powerful and joyful facet of the latest wave of social change by means of teaching youth social emotional techniques ~ JG
Missy has given me the tools to share my light with any child in my life. I am now equipped to help children shine their own light and I can't to wait to bring DPK to as many kids as I can. Everyone loves Missy!! ~ JB
