The Playful Healing Cards © are a 50 card deck that were inspired to bring together strategies and tools for building life skills. I have worked supporting children, in at times stressful situations, and learnt a range of strategies to help them co-regulate and learn coping strategies. These strategies were put in the card format to make them accessible in an appealing and fun way.
Play and a mindfully present parent/caregiver helps to support the developmental needs of children. As a responsive and supportive adult we can use playful relating to help the children in our care to learn and name sensations, release emotions, and learn to co-regulate. To help children learn co-regulation we as adults must know how to regulate ourselves. The strategies are also for adults so as to be able hold a state of calm and relaxation. The cards can also be used for inner child work.
In the workshop you will
- understand sensation and body signals

About the Cards
The cards use beautiful images of children at play outside in nature where play can be used as connection for finding a sense of self, sense of belonging in the world, expressing and releasing emotions safely, respect for their environment, finding movement in the body, and building resources. If we help to build these in our children they can carry them into adulthood. The images on the cards show diversity and gender equity. The beautiful images have a unique Australian flavor depicting our natural landscapes.
The Playful Healing Card © deck is created by play specialist and holistic counsellor, Natasha Hund, with the artwork of artist and early childhood professional, Gracie Scala Adamson.
