Words & art heal
Dear you,
This is your invitation to unwind. To tap into your creativity within the pages of an art journal.
This is your permission to prioritise some ‘me-time’. To revel in a different kind of self-care.
This is your reminder that you do not need to be an ‘artist’ to enjoy and benefit from creativity.
Did you know that intentionally exploring and documenting your life through purposeful journaling prompts, mindful painting and collage is a powerful relaxation tool and anxiety & stress-relieving practice?

"For me your free course came along at a serendipitous moment--alignment of the stars kind of thing. I love your enthusiasm in your videos and I think you have a very cute personality which makes them easy to watch. You're thought-provoking, I like artist-teachers who get me thinking and examining my old patterns of thought and behavior."

“When I discovered creative journaling I felt drawn to it. It is a mix between art-making and journaling - two activities that I am fond of but didn't quite consider doing a combo before my discovery. I love how this course has reignited my passion for it and how it makes it seem easy, fun and doable. Thank you for your encouraging approach!”
