FeelWise is a hands-on card set that helps a parent and child see a feeling, talk about it, and try a technique — in about five minutes. 156 emotion cards, 48 mindfulness techniques. Look through it below, then request a set to try in session.
Sent free to practicing clinicians. No cost, no pitch call.
Every emotion has its own Feelie character, so a child recognizes a feeling before they can name it. The front names the feeling; the back confirms it with a definition and the body's physical cues. The same deck includes 48 technique cards for what to do next.

What happened, how it felt, what they needed. The card gives them a way in.
Pull a technique card — a concrete way to calm the body and shift the mindset.
Used over weeks, it becomes a shared vocabulary a family keeps using at home.
FeelWise draws on neuroscience, CBT and DBT techniques, mindfulness research, and human-centered design.
