Designed for practitioners. Informed by evidence. Rooted in compassion
The Mind and Motion Deck is a reflective tool for psychologists, social workers, educators, and holistic practitioners. With 74 emotion-themed cards, the deck encourages thoughtful, trauma-informed conversations around feelings, internal narratives, and everyday challenges.

Founder
I’m Monica Pema—founder of PEMA Mind and Motion, trained in psychology and holistic kinesiology, with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals through emotional and physical challenges.
The Mind and Motion Deck of Discovery was created in response to a growing global need: more than 1 billion people worldwide experience a mental or emotional health concern, and many find it difficult to express or explore what they’re truly feeling. These cards offer a structured, reflective approach to help individuals and practitioners initiate open conversations.
Grounded in psychological principles and holistic practice, they are designed to support emotional insight and client-led exploration—an empowering addition to therapeutic, coaching, or personal development settings.
Emotions don't wait. Neither should the conversation.
