Inner World Building uses sand, symbols, and mindful reflection to help you see what’s already within you. Whether through open exploration or guided symbol work, this creative process helps you connect with feelings, perspectives, and memories in new ways.
Together, we reflect on what you discover and how it relates to daily life—often leading to greater clarity, ease, and direction.

Inner World Building gives athletes a creative way to address performance challenges. Using sand, symbols, and guided reflection, you can see and feel what’s happening beneath the surface—your reactions, motivations, and inner dialogue.
We pair this work with practical tools like refocusing, reframing, and other self-management skills to connect insight to action. The process builds confidence, focus, and emotional balance—skills that carry both on and off the field.

World Building is a hands-on, creative process that helps you discover and work with parts of yourself that words alone can’t reach. My own journey began as a professional athlete, where I saw how play, relationships, and creativity can shape confidence and well-being. Later, through psychology training and work with athletes and individuals, I found that Sandplay—what I call Inner World Building—offers a powerful way to explore and grow. It blends structure with openness, making space for insight, healing, and change. Today, I combine this practice with my background as a licensed psychologist and experience in sport to support people in building confidence, resilience, and deeper self-connection.
Inner World Building is a creative, hands-on process that takes place in a sandtray using figures and symbols. It invites you to step away from words and enter a quieter, more intuitive way of exploring what matters to you. The process has a rhythm and structure, while also leaving room for unexpected discoveries to emerge. These discoveries often bring fresh perspective, confidence, and a greater sense of connection to yourself. Unlike traditional talk-only approaches, Inner World Building blends play, imagination, and reflection to access deeper layers of experience. The work is gentle but powerful, supporting both healing and growth.
