The therapist gently holds the space, listens and observes, reflecting back and offering opportunities for deeper understanding. SandStory Therapy® provides a unique opportunity for clients to move . freely between conscious and unconscious processing providing them with the space and the tools for self healing to occur.

"Often the hands will solve a mystery that the intellect has struggled with in vain" - Carl Jung.
