a message from the founder

Hi, I’m Laurinda, a trauma informed creative play therapist and founder of Sage Affect. I am honoured to have you visit here with me today!
If you are anything like me, you will agree that life does not always have to be so serious. There is enough doom and gloom in the world … therapy does not have to be the same!
As someone who experienced childhood trauma myself, I have always tried to escape my dark shadows by focusing on the beautiful and joyful aspects of life.
That is why I now love using creative play in my therapeutic work with parents/caregivers and children so they too can enjoy the beauty of life (even though some shadows may be lurking nearby).
Therapeutic play and creative forms of expression (painting, clay, music or dancing, etc.) are said to be one of the best healing methods for children or adults who have experienced trauma because they often struggle to access their feelings at a verbal level.
Unfortunately, therapy that is restricted to a verbal expression only, often cause a barrier to growth and healing. Because of this, I promise to always bring an element of play & wonder to my therapeutic work at Sage Affect.
It will be my pleasure to work with you and your child using a combination of different holistic therapeutic techniques to bring healing to the Whole You:
Body, Mind, and Spirit.
