Soothe Factory took shape while working closely with children in therapy sessions. I noticed a recurring challenge: many kids struggle to identify their feelings, understand them, and cope with intense ones healthily. Without knowledge on how to express themselves or debrief, these emotions often get stuck, leaving children frustrated, anxious, or, in some cases, acting out aggressively.
At the time, there weren’t suitable tools that made emotional exploration natural or engaging for children. This led me to create my own - printing emotion cards, making puzzles, and designing interactive materials that could be used directly in therapy sessions. That hands-on experience sparked a bigger idea: why not design full games and playful tools that make learning about emotions both natural and fun?
Hence, Soothe Factory was founded to create tools for therapists, counselors, and parents that empower children to navigate their emotions, express themselves with confidence, and grow in a safe, playful environment. Through imaginative play and interactive challenges, children can freely explore their feelings, build emotional awareness, and develop essential skills such as setting boundaries and understanding body safety.
