What SHINE A Deeper Journey Offers

I built the SHINE program from my own journey as a parent. Parenting often feels lonely and challenging, but is also deeply rewarding. Raising my son, mostly as a single parent far from family in New Zealand, highlighted the need for strong support, which I built around my son and I over 10+ years. My training in therapeutic dance, transformational coaching, and trauma-informed practices have shaped this work. SHINE creates a space of support, growth, and connection for children and parents. You do not walk this path alone.

SHINE's core goal is to help your child build self-awareness and express themselves freely. The program name explains its focus:

  • Safe

  • Heard

  • Important

  • Nourished

  • Empowered

This intimate, 9-week program fosters safety, trust, emotional connection, and confidence for both your child and you, the parent or caregiver. It is a safe, supportive place where children build on the skills and confidence gained in the SHINE-in-Schools program, with added support for you.

*Also suitable for children and families who have not participated in SHINE-in-Schools.

Inside a Typical SHINE Session

Each session blends mindfulness, movement, creativity, sharing, play, and reflection in a supportive group.

 

Children participate at their own speed. They are never pressured to do anything that causes discomfort. This gentle, encouraging approach offers one-to-one attention. Every child feels seen, valued, and an important part of the SHINE group.

Key Session Activities:

  • Arrival & Grounding: Gentle music and a calming activity help everyone settle in.

  • Mindful Movement: Guided and freeform movement using Silent Disco headsets. This helps children explore confidence, connection, and joy through their bodies.

  • Play & Games: New games each week spark laughter, teamwork, and friendships.

  • Shared Snack & Connection: Preparing and sharing a simple, nutritious snack together. This promotes teamwork, gratitude, and mindful connection.

  • Creative Expression & Sharing: Craft-based activities with optional sharing in a safe, supported environment.

  • Cool Down & Closing: Gentle movement, rest, and reflection. A simple ritual helps release what is no longer needed, leaving children feeling centred and calm.
