Happy Client Testimonial

The play sessions with Sylvie are a place where my young daughter's behaviours (trauma) are not judged.She receives amazing personal support as Sylvie understands what she has been trough and therefore why she acts the way she does.My daughter has gone (in less then six months) from a scared little girl who would not even set foot in the playroom to a girl who goes there without protest.Sylvie has also recommended books to help with my daughter's persistent night terrors.In short,Sylvie provides support and information for the whole family,every step of the way. Thank you Sylvie,for all the compassion you show and the magic you do in your playroom.

Mother of a 7 years old girl

My husband and I are very grateful to Sylvie for helping our son deal with his anxiety and learn new strategies to manage his fears.My son and I had a conversation yesterday where he said he feels like his worries are small and no longer monsters.He also likes some of the breathing exercises Sylvie suggested and uses them frequently and has passed them on to others.We especially found the Worry Ninja book very helpful.

My son has truly found something special in his sessions with Sylvie.Even tough he's only had 10 sessions so far,our family is already witnessing positive changes in his behaviour.Sylvie's approach is making a real difference.
