Emily's lessons

A welcoming and orienting couple of weeks. We will begin with intention setting, so your mind knows the direction for this course. You'll meet the community, and learn new ways to talk about and see others' art. Together, we will create a judgement-free zone, so we can fully express ourselves through art-making.

Blocks, barriers, frustration, and resistance are a natural part of the creative process. We will figure out supportive ways to meet obsticals, so you'll be ready for them when they show up. We'll also start building and accessing artistic inspiration.

We explore using art to build somatic awareness and connection, and actively practice mindfulness through art making. You'll be guided through accessible art practices to guide you to move inward in gentle and safe ways.

In life we experience hard emotions and tough situations to deal with. During this week, you'll learn art techniques to help you soothe, release emotion, and face the shadows. This week encourages you to explore how art support you in challenging times.

With a focus on listening inward and developing self-trust, you'll explore intuitive art-making as a method for accessing deep insights.

Using art, you'll learn to reach into the future, so you can develop your personalized plan for integrating art into your life. There is a science to vision-boards!

This week is all about learning how to get deep meaning from your artwork. You deeply explore your own metaphors, symbols, and themes, helping you to process your emotions and life lessons.

Together, we honor the work you've done, reflect on the journey, and celebrate your milestones. Learn how to use art to help your brain access more good.

TOGETHER WE WILL EXPLORE ART AS A WAY TO CONNECT INWARD

  • Explore emotions freely through accessible art techniques
  • Build art based mindfulness skills & self-soothing practices
  • Belong to a supportive and nurturing community
  • Explore your artistic inspiration
  • Integrate shadow selves to embrace every part of you
  • Discover the power of destruction & release through art making
  • Explore ways to communicate with your art for insights
  • Make meaning of personal symbols, metaphors, and themes
  • Create a personalized self-care plan using the arts for long-term health and growth

You're not just investing in an art class - you're gaining emotional tools for life.

You don't need to be 'good at art' to make something meaningful.

Together, we’ll create from the heart, the gut, and the soul—tapping into the deep wisdom within as we journey inward, toward the wholeness that’s always been ours. Learn to create with your body and intuition, leaning into your own inner wisdom, and allowing art to be your mirror, medicine, and guide. You'll walk away with:

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.

Using art for healing is a practice I have been innately drawn to throughout my life. Some of my earliest and fondest memories are of working on some creation I had dreamed up. Art had helped me so much that I decided to study art therapy. And 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 offers a powerful way to express emotions, foster self-discovery, and support healing.

My approach isn’t about learning “how to” make something —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 art-making should be a tool for personal growth that is available to all, as it helps us access our highest intelligence - creativity.

My goal is always to create a compassionate and inclusive space where you can connect with your unique creative voice, gain insights from your experiences, and use art as your own mirror and medicine.

I’m so excited to welcome you to this healing art boot-camp! 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

Patte's Story

“"... It was a life changer for me. I have always struggled with verbal expression of my feelings and beliefs. Emily guided me through the lessons and led me to a practice of listening to my body. My body seems to be the place where my feelings have been storing up for years. Opening that door gave me an avenue to expression and freedom that I never thought I would be able to get to. Emily also has a unique way of introducing multiple media for expression. The choices were mine. I have learned through the course there are no mistakes. A shift in perspective will change everything. I cannot thank her enough for the insight and guidance. I was sorry to see the 8 weeks end so I am currently looking for her next online course. She is amazing and so is her approach to expression."”

How does this program work?

Every two weeks you'll receive access to a module for on-demand viewing. You'll be able to create your art at a time and pace that works for you. You'll be able to rewatch and access the videos at any time during the program.

By the end of the 16 weeks, you'll have explored 8 different, developed a community, and be ready to independently continue your healing art making practice moving forward!



Do I need any art experience?

Some familiarity with art-making can be helpful, especially since we aren't focused on the technical aspects of art. However, you do not need to be an expert, feel talented, or have taken a bunch art classes. As long as you have an interest and some comfort, than this is perfect for you!

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. I encourage you to use what feels comfortable and accessible to you. 

You may find during the course that you are yearning for other art materials. It is perfectly okay to show up with limited supplies and gather as you go. 

I recommend having a journal (or some place to document) your insights and observations throughout the course. 

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 every two weeks on the lessons, art explorations, 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 Community Support Meetings (virtual, live 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 private, virtual Community Space - an online space for connecting, sharing art, and asking questions. That is available 24/7 during the program

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 at the next group.


Is this therapy?

This course is designed to be a sustainable, empowering investment in your inner growth. 

If you are already in therapy, than this can be a supportive compliment to the work you are already doing. 

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.

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

That's completely normal when explore these topics and our accessing emotions in new ways. I've designed the course to address these concerns right up front. 

And

You won't be alone - You can connect to our community through our virtual community space to access the wisdom of our collective. 

I'll be there to guide you. You'll have live touch-points and practices that help ground and support you.

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.
