Welcome to Sandscapes: The Kentucky Sandtray Institute!

Hey There! I’m Megan, the founder and director of Sandscapes: The Kentucky Sandtray Institute. I just wanted to share a little about my vision and hopes for Sandscapes. If you haven’t already, check out the About section to learn more about my sandtray journey! In short, when I found sandtray therapy it changed my life and the way I do therapy. You may be thinking, Megan, how did sandtray change your life? Well, the training that I received and the amazing therapist’ that I connected with during my training is the easiest answer. If you’ve never experienced putting your hands in the sand and carefully choosing miniatures to represent parts of yourself and your world, wow you’re missing out. It’s a powerful experience.

It wasn’t only the training and community, it was the fact that sandtray is backed by neuroscience! I saw early on that sandtray therapy was powerful, but I struggled to document what I was seeing and why it was working. Having the extensive training taught me the why and now I have the tools to teach others!

After receiving the training from Southern Sandtray Institute, I couldn’t wait until I had the opportunity to become a trainer. See when you find something that you believe in wholeheartedly, you want to share it with the world! So, Sandscapes: The Kentucky Sandtray Institute was born.

My hope with beginning this new chapter and journey with Sandscapes, is to provide quality and experiential training. It is my mission to spread the word about the power of sandtray therapy as a healing tool. Sandtray therapy changed my life personally and professionally. Because of my own personal transformation, I hope to create a space for other professionals to transform themselves as well.

My goal for this blog and the content I share, is to educate clinicians and the general public about sandtray therapy. I hope to share actionable resources and helpful tips and tricks to help you along your sandtray journey. Please feel free to reach out to me if I can ever help you along the way!
