In the world of Expressive Arts, your feelings, challenges, and stories find creative form and transform into new possibilities
No art skills needed
I work at the intersection of creativity, embodiment, and social change. My sessions invite you to reconnect with your senses, imagination, and childlike wonder, and to discover new ways of meeting challenges.
Individual sessions
Express, Explore, Become
An invitation to come back into contact with yourself through creative and body-based practices. I support you in exploring new ways of relating to your experience, navigating emotional burnout, and moving through life changes. Meet yourself through form, texture, and movement — listening to what your body has to say.

Creating Your Kali Myth: Recognising the role of anger
Creating Your Kali Myth
Workshop series exploring anger through expressive arts, inspired by the archetype of Kali. Participants worked with anger using art-based and embodied practices, reimagining their unique Kali in their own shapes, colours, sounds, movements, and rhythms.
