MEET YOUR COACH

Hi, I'm Emily!

I educate, coach, and empower adults to learn how to make expressive art for their own health & wellness.

Some of my earliest memories are of making art. Using art for healing is a practice I have been innately drawn to throughout my life. It helped me so much that I decided to study art therapy. For the last 20 years, I've been studying and practicing art therapy, art-as-therapy, and expressive art.

Having worked with people from all walks of life, I’ve seen firsthand how creativity transcends traditional boundaries, offering a powerful way to express emotions, foster self-discovery, and support healing.

My approach isn’t about learning “how to” make something perfect—it’s about creating in a way that helps you deeply understand yourself. Art has the incredible ability to process emotions, build mindfulness, and cultivate resilience. I want art to be accessible to everyone, no matter their background or experience, and I believe creativity should be a tool for personal growth that is available to all.

My goal is always to create a compassionate and inclusive space where you can connect with your unique creative voice.

I’m so excited to welcome you to this expressive arts course! Together, we’ll explore the boundless possibilities of art and discover how it can support you on your life’s journey. I can’t wait to create and grow with you!

Warmly, 

Emily

Frequently Asked Questions

All About Your Journey

How's this program work?

Each week you'll get access to the art theme of the week. During that week, you can review the material and explore the art activities independently. We will then meet as a group to discuss our experiences and ask questions! After our group meeting, the next theme will be released.

During the week, you can access the group through our virtual community space. You'll be able to make posts, share art, and ask questions. 

By the end of the 8 weeks, you'll have explored multiple expressive art themes and techniques, developed a community, and be ready to independently continue your healing art making practice moving forward!



Do I need any art experience?

Not at all! This program is for everyone who is interested in how art can help them with their own self-expression and growth.

What materials will I need?

You can use whatever art supplies you have on hand - paper, pencils, markers, or even a simple journal. You'll receive a recommended materials list, but I encourage you to use what feels comfortable and accessible to you.

How much time should I dedicate each week?

The program is flexible and was designed to fit into a busy schedule. You can expect to spend 2-4 hours per week on the art activities and coaching calls. 

I invite you to spend as much time as you need for art making. I encourage you to reflect on what if feasible, wanted, and needed for your own circumstances and self.

What happens during the live group coaching calls?

These calls are a space for connection and support. We'll reflect on the weekly theme; sharing insight from art experiences, and exploring challenges and breakthroughs together. It's a judgement-free environment - we won't be critiquing art, but learning to listen to the ways art can speak to us. 

You'll also get access to our Virtual Community Space - an online space for connecting, sharing art, and asking questions. That is available 24/7 during the boot camp.

What if I have to miss a live coaching call?

Sometimes conflicts or surprises pop up and you might not be able to attend - that's okay.  You'll still have access to the course materials and can join us the following week.

Anyone enrolled in the program will have access to the on-demand version - for free - once it becomes available, so you'll be able to grab the videos and content then.

Is this therapy?

While art making has innate therapeutic properties, this course is not a substitute for psychotherapy or mental health treatment. It's designed for self-exploration and personal growth, not clinical treatment. 

All courses, services, and products are not a substitute for mental health diagnosis, therapy, or any medical treatment.

Will I be sharing my art with others?

Sharing is always optional. You'll have opportunities to share reflections during group calls, but there's no pressure to show your art unless you feel comfortable.

What if I'm feeling stuck or overwhelmed during the process?

That's completely normal when working with emotions and creativity. I'll provide guidance and tools to help you move through blocks and stay supported throughout the journey.

You can also connect to the expressive art community through our virtual community space to access the wisdom of the collective. 

As always, I'll be there to guide you during our group calls!

What can I expect to gain by the end of the program?

By the end of the boot-camp, you'll have:

  • A deeper understanding of yourself and emotions.
  • Practical tools for mindfulness, self-expression, and self-care.
  • A personalized plan to integrate art into your life for long-term growth.
  • A sense of connection with others who share your journey.



What is the virtual community space?

All boot-camp participants will have access to a private online community space. You'll be able to chat, post messages, and share images. You can access the virtual space 24/7.
