Artmaking helps you to explore and contain your emotions.

You can draw a boundary such as a box or circle and fill this with shapes, lines or symbols for how you’re feeling.

It gives you the opportunity to step back, find new perspectives and reveal insights.

You don’t have to know where to begin or what you’re going to draw. A message will reveal itself to you.

Curious to give it a go? Join us for our Melbourne workshop on 22 January at the beautiful Prana House. It’s an opportunity to slow down and connect to your creativity. Limited tickets are still available: https://www.reconnectspace.com/manifest

Do you ever feel like you need to “get it right”?
That pressure can really get in the way of connecting to your creativity.

What if there was no right or wrong way to do this?

In our sessions, we focus on process rather than perfection.

You don’t need to know what the outcome will be, a simple scribble is enough to begin.

Curious to give it a go? Join us for our Melbourne workshop on 22 January at the beautiful Prana House. It’s an opportunity to slow down and connect to your creativity. Early bird tickets are still available until 20 December. Learn more and book in the link in bio.

It was a joy to hold space for last night’s online Reflect & Reconnect group workshop.

Together, we looked back on the year and set intentions going forward. Supported by mindful reflection, therapeutic art making and community connection.

It’s always so beautiful to hear about and see the insightful and revealing artworks that are shared. I’m always inspired to see everyone show up to make time for themselves (even in this hectic holiday season).

This work continues to affirm why I love group spaces so much!

I’m excited to offer more workshops in the next year, starting with our first in-person Reconnect Space Melbourne workshop on 11 January 2026.

Manifest: The Art of Expansion will be all about supporting you to step into your power.

How have you really been these final weeks of 2025?

If your answer is anywhere between “busy” and “barely hanging on”, you’re not alone.

This time of year tends to demand a lot… and offer very little space to breathe.

But what if you paused for an evening and gave your nervous system the one thing it’s been craving?

Stillness, reflection and clarity.

TOMORROW evening, I'm hosting a live 2-hour online workshop: The Reflect & Reconnect Workshop.

A space to step away from noise and pressure, to reconnect with your inner rhythm.

The workshop blends creativity, mindfulness, and community connection. It's an opportunity for you to set intentions for moving forward into 2026.

“Your workshop truly shifted something profound in me. While I’ve had years of traditional cognitive therapy, it was this one class that brought clarity in a way I hadn’t experienced before." Julie, Workshop Participant at Reconnect Space

No artistic experience is needed. Just bring paper, some art supplies of your choice, and curiosity.

Not to impress anyone or achieve anything. Just… to play.
That’s what art therapy can feel like.

It’s a 2-hour online workshop and you don’t need any creative skill to join.

It’s a space to connect with your inner voice, let go of the pressure and set intentions for the new year.

Creativity has a way of transforming your pain into meaning and hope.

Art therapy is still emerging in mainstream awareness, and I have the incredible opportunity to help others understand its depth and power. To bring art and therapy together in minds far and wide. The idea that art heals is nothing new.

It’s something that you remember in the fibres of your being, if you just connect.

After 4 years of study and finishing my Arts Therapy degree earlier this year, it was finally time to celebrate my graduation from the Ikon Institute of Australia yesterday.

It’s so easy to skip past milestones and rites of passage in our culture, and I feel truly grateful to mark this one! I was honoured to make a speech on behalf of my fellow graduates and was gifted a bouquet of flowers that was so big I could barely carry it home.

When I discovered art therapy, it felt as though all my experiences had been leading me to that point. It was a distinct sense of coming into alignment. The best word that describes my experience is magic. There is a certain kind of magic to this work.

The course did so much more than to teach me technique and skill, but it transformed me from the inside out. As students, we had the privilege to hold space for each other as we re-assembled our internal world.

As therapists, we’re often invited to sit in the uncomfortable space of not knowing. This course has taught us to trust the process and to allow it to unfold in its own time. That even within uncertainty, there is a kind of intelligence moving us towards wholeness. We just have to pause and listen.

Magic. When time and time again, something starts as a simple scribble and becomes layered with profound meaning and depth. It helps to make our inner world visible in ways that are often surprising, revealing, and comforting.

Creativity has a way of transforming our pain into meaning and hope.

I’m incredibly excited to have the opportunity to help spread this message.
