I work with individuals and groups, guiding them to explore what wants to be expressed — feelings, challenges, stories. In the world of Expressive Arts, they come alive, take shape, and transform.
No art skills needed
I am an Expressive Arts Facilitator, researching embodied perception in the MA program at The European Graduate School. My sessions invite you to tap into your senses and imagination to discover new ways to respond to challenges and support personal and collective change.
