Art Therapy Coaching

A Sanctuary of Expression for Adults, Children, and Pets.

In a world that often demands words before feelings, art offers another way. A gentler way. A way to speak without speaking, to feel without fear, to remember who we are beneath the noise. Art therapy is not about being an artist—it is about being alive. It is about honoring the quiet truths that live in color, texture, and form.

Whether you are an adult seeking creative recovery, a child learning to name your feelings, or a beloved pet navigating change, art can become your sanctuary. A place where healing begins with presence.

For Adults: Creative Recovery & Emotional Renewal

Sometimes, words are too sharp. Too tired. Too far away. In those moments, art becomes a bridge back to self.

Through gentle, guided sessions, I invite adults to explore:

- Watercolor breathing: soft washes of emotion, layered with intention

- Collage rituals: reclaiming fragments of memory and identity

- Body mapping: tracing the stories our skin remembers

- Poetic prompts: unlocking the voice within the image

This is not performance. This is presence. A space to transform overwhelm into agency, grief into grace, and silence into song.

“Each brushstroke becomes a breath. Each image, a mirror of becoming.”

For Children: Playful Expression & Emotional Safety

Children speak in color before they speak in words. Their drawings are diaries, their sculptures, secrets. In art therapy, I create a safe, sensory-rich environment where children can:

- Explore emotions through play and paint

- Build resilience through storytelling and creation

- Develop emotional vocabulary through visual metaphors

We might make a puppet to hold a worry. A rainbow to name a mood. A treasure box to keep brave thoughts. Every session is a ritual of safety, imagination, and affirmation.

“To draw is to say: I am here. I feel this. I matter.”

For Pets: Sensory Rituals & Human-Animal Bonding

Yes, even our animal companions need sanctuary. Pets feel our stress, our joy, our absence. Through gentle, sensory-based rituals, I support:

- Calming environments: soft textures, soothing scents, rhythmic visuals

- Shared creative time: painting paw prints, co-creating memory objects

- Grief and transition rituals: honoring the emotional bond in times of change

This is not about training—it is about tenderness. About recognizing pets as emotional beings, and art as a bridge between species.

“Even silence can be a canvas when shared with love.”

My Approach: Poetic, Inclusive, and Grounded

I blend therapeutic training with poetic intuition.

My sessions are:

- Emotionally safe: trauma-informed, neurodiverse-friendly, and culturally sensitive

- Non-mystical: grounded in art therapy, not esotericism

- Bilingual: offered in French and English, with poetic translation when needed

- Modular: adapted to energy levels, sensory needs, and personal rhythms

Whether you come with a story or just a sigh, you are welcome here.

An Invitation to Begin

You do not need to be “ready.” You do not need to be “creative.” You only need to be willing to show up—to your breath, your body, your becoming.

Let art hold what words cannot. Let it remind you:

You are worthy of beauty.

You are worthy of healing.

You are worthy of being seen.

“Let art be your sanctuary. Let presence be your palette.”
