We had a great time making art with the K-8 students at the Gilbert Plains Elemetary School last week. These 🖐 zendoodle pieces were made by the Grade 7-8 classes.

We learned how doodling can help to calm our bodies by bringing us into the present moment. It can also help us to process feelings we may not have the words for expressing.

We had a great time at the Gilbert Plains Elementary School this week, making art with K-8 students ✨️ These colourful mandalas were made by the kindergarteners. We learned about mindfulness and noticing the way objects feel to bring us back into the present moment.

We had our first round of kids classes at Parkland Psychology & Wellness on Thursday 🕺 The disco ball project has been a huge hit. Lots of colour, lots of glitter & lots of fun ✨️

We had a great first Stretch & Sketch class at Parkland Psychology & Wellness last week. A mixture of gentle, grounding stretches & somatic work, followed by a beginner art journaling practice for self- reflection and expression.

This class will be offered on Thursdays from 1:30-3:00 until February 19th. Attend one or attend all! A beautiful way to connect with yourself & community.

"You don't need to be good at art.
You don't need to be bendy.
You just need a little curiosity and a willingness to slow down 💛" - Amy

See you on Thursday, Russell friends!

Disco balls! 🕺 We had a lot of fun with this project in Grandview last week and Dauphin last night. Our first glitter project, and it certainly got the kids excited! I wish I would have taken more pictures.

Russell and area friends! I am so very excited to be coming to Parkland Psychology & Wellness regularly starting next Thursday 🌿

We will have beautiful Craft & Calm art classes with a grounding meditation and relaxing art project for self care.

We will have lovely Stretch & Sketch classes with somatic stretching and a beginner art journaling practice.

I will also be doing Reiki Healing Sessions on select dates.

Want to join us for some nourishing recharge time? Let me know! These classes are some of my favourites to teach because of the beautiful connections and friendships that bloom from them. There's nothing like making art & sharing energy together!

We also have biweekly kids' art classes for the mini artists! Check our previous posts for details 🌞

We had a great first Craft & Calm of the year this week! So great I forgot to take more pictures. We had lots of laughs as we made 2026 vision books with magazine clippings, thinking of how we want our lives to look this year. This project is a favourite of mine.

Looking forward to making more next week in Dauphin & Russell! Wanna join me? ❄️
