Respite Play™
Creative Rest for Nervous System Renewal
Rest is not something you earn.
It’s something you remember.
Respite Play™ is my signature philosophy and way of working — an invitation to return to rest, creativity, and presence as essential elements of wellbeing.
This approach supports nervous system regulation by creating space for pause, curiosity, and embodied connection. Respite Play™ is not about productivity or performance. It’s about remembering how to be human, gently and honestly.
What Is Respite Play™?
Respite Play™ blends sound therapy, creative expression, reflection, and playful presence to support restoration and balance.
It offers an alternative to push-through culture by honoring rest as a meaningful, intelligent practice. Sessions and gatherings are intentionally paced, relational, and responsive — allowing the nervous system to soften without force.
Play is not childish.
It is how the nervous system practices safety.
How Respite Play™ Supports the Nervous System
Respite Play™ creates environments where the nervous system can settle and reorganize naturally.
By combining sound, creativity, and presence, this work supports:
The body is not asked to fix itself — it is invited to feel safe enough to restore.
What Respite Play™ Experiences May Include
Respite Play™ experiences may include sound therapy, creative practices, guided reflection, gentle ritual, and shared presence.
Each offering is responsive to the people in the room and the season of life they are in. There is no right way to participate — only an invitation to arrive as you are.
Who Respite Play™ Is For
Respite Play™ is for individuals and groups who are craving depth, rest, and reconnection.
This work often resonates with those who are sensitive, creative, caregiving, or navigating transitions — and who are ready for healing that does not demand urgency or self-improvement.
In-Person & Virtual Offerings
Respite Play™ experiences are offered in person in Florida and North Carolina, as well as virtually.
Whether gathered in a shared physical space or across distance, each experience is guided with care, clarity, and respect for nervous system needs.
An Invitation to Rest, Play & Reconnect
If you’re feeling drawn toward a slower, more creative way of being, Respite Play™ may be an invitation worth following.
