About the author:

Hello! I'm an adoptive mom, a children's therapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). Prior to joining Just Mind Counselors, I spent 30 years working with kids in schools. In 2007, I was fortunate to join the second co-hort of Somatic Experiencing (SE) training in Texas, lead by the wonderful Maggie Kline. Since then, SE has shaped my world. Since 2008, I've been creating tools to help child therapists and school counselors integrate somatic work into their counseling programs. (sensationgame.com) It has been my dream to write children's books that help kids explore their emotions and their sensations (how their feelings feel in their body). I live with my family and two Aussiedoodles, Gracie and Ozzie, in Austin, Texas, and love hiking, camping, and playing all kinds of games with kids.

By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business – you’re showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople.

Thank you for supporting Kris Downing and your local independent bookstore!
