Aurielle Mason

Founder

In my journey through motherhood, I've been through the highs and lows, the giggles and the tears and the countless moments of discovery and growth. Trust me when I say – I can relate! Like many of you, I've had my fair share of sleepless nights, wondering if I'm getting it right and worrying about my kids’ future. But in between those worries, I've also experienced the remarkable joy and profound love that only a parent can understand. These experiences have shaped my understanding of childhood development – not just in theory, but in practice.

Throughout my career as a clinical psychologist, I've gained a wealth of clinical expertise that compliments my personal experience. From early childhood developmental milestones to adolescent struggles, I've applied evidence-based techniques and interventions that promote healing and foster resilience. I've learned that every child is unique, requiring an understanding that goes beyond textbooks and a willingness to continually expand my perception of what works and what doesn’t. At Mindful Play, we combine this professional acumen with my personal experience as a mom, delivering the most comprehensive and empathetic support to every child we meet.

After all, our kids deserve nothing less!

Favorite Toy: Dr. Mason loves Barbies because they spark creativity, and imagination, and help kids make sense of the world around them. Growing up, seeing Barbies with her skin tone made a big impact—it was a fun way to feel seen and represented. Dolls like Barbie help kids explore who they are, build confidence, and practice problem-solving, all while having fun!
