and transform the parenting experience
I know you believe in the benefits of play in the early years – but perhaps you find yourself unsure exactly how it is beneficial, or feel yourself falling into old paradigm beliefs surrounding what learning “should” look like.Â
To the mama’s consumed by the screen-time guilt, overwhelmed by the plethora of parenting guidance out there and to be honest, just wanting your kids to play so you can tend to the baby or maybe even finish that cup of tea before it goes cold – I see you.Â
Transform the way you view those tricky behaviours and step into an expanded experience of play.
If you are ready to foster a deep TRUST in the process of play for healing, connection and growth for you and your children, then you are in the right place..

Hello!
I’m Hannah. Counsellor and Mother to two. My journey with play started as a child in rural New Zealand – nature play wasn’t a trending hashtag yet but we did a lot of it. I have rich experiences of a life outdoors and a freedom to create, build and explore. Like lots of us, we become disconnected with our playfulness when we become adults, but this was rekindled when I found play therapy within my role as a counsellor. Following the birth of my daughter, this passion for play grew stronger. I wasn’t living rurally and my children didn’t have access to vast open space everyday, yet I knew the benefits of play and was determined to find ways to prioritise and encourage deep, imaginative play in our everyday lives (I also needed to encourage independent play for my sanity as a mama too!).
My passion is to merge the worlds of therapeutic play and parenting to empower parents to prioritise play in their homes and hearts. To help parents and educators deeply understand and trust the role play has in the unfolding of children’s developmental blueprint.
A life that is playful is one that supports the needs of the whole child – and can truly shift the parenting or teaching experience too. I invite you to join us on this journey, one that is far more that just a course, it is a movement.

Raising play really transformed how I looked at my child’s play overall. I went into the course wanting to support my child’s learning through play, but also to improve his independent play. I got this and so so much more from the course. With Hannah’s background in counselling and Play Therapy, this course facilitated my deep dive into my own family values and a holistic approach to parenting overall. I’m now fascinated by my child’s play and feel confident in facilitating this to support his overall wellbeing.
Hannah has completely altered my definition of play and how I can use it to connect with my children but also support their development.
Raising Play has ever so gently reminded me of how my childhood (and adulthood) was shaped by play. Hannah shared so many thoughtful and practical ways to support my children to thrive in a much faster paced environment by embracing the importance of child led free play. Her explanations of child development and play theories help to make sense of the complexities of child behaviours, which in turn, makes it that little bit easier to manage the more challenging moments of parenthood. It was also a joy to connect with other parents, learning together and sharing ideas.
