My Bloom & Play story…

I am thrilled to introduce these simple, seven-steps of magic to Hillsborough right here at Bloom & Play. Whether it’s a small class, a one-on-one session, my hope is to support and uplift every child that steps through the doors-helping them find peace, joy, and their playful spark along the way!

I am a full-time nurse at UNC with 43 years of nursing experience under my belt as well as a trained Reiki Master for the last 15 years. I have completed a relaxation program for kids that is very successful in the UK and want to share these wonderful skills I learned right here in the US. Kids have always held a special place in my heart, sparking my passion to create a nurturing and playful space in a busy world.

Bloom & Play is located in beautiful downtown Hillsborough at 110 West Margaret. The 1912 historic building is recently renovated and ready for business. The front of the building will house a new kitchen store and Bloom & Play is in two spaces in the rear of the building. There are two restrooms and a waiting area for your convenience. Looking forward to meeting all the parents and children who come to Bloom & Play!
