Integrating creative arts in the workplace, whether it's through team-building or staff-care workshops/sessions, can inspire and motivate employees while reducing stress and anxiety. This can lead to an increase in energy, focus, and engagement, allowing employees to build connections, partnerships, and a sense of belonging. At the core of this lies staff-care, which helps employees feel valued, empowered, and promotes their well-being both in and outside of work.
Please connect with us for further information and tailored programs.

You don't need to be an artist or have any background in art to participate in these therapy sessions. Each session is unique and guided by the individual seeking therapy. We can sometimes just create art, or just talk, or do a combination of both. You are the expert of your needs at that moment, and the therapist is there to support, guide, facilitate and witness with an open heart and mind without any judgment.
We can use a variety of approaches in a session based intuitively on what is needed in the present moment. This could include painting, sculpting clay, moving the body, sounds and music, mindfulness exercises, mixed media, creative writing, collages, and talking. Psychoeducation is often integrated to empower the participant(s). The body knows what to do when it is given a safe place to heal and explore. We encourage you to come with an open heart and mind, inviting your inner child and creative and magical parts to be present and take the lead.
For online sessions, we will meet over Zoom, a secured platform. We can discuss what materials might be needed, but we will do our best to work with what you have. Further details can be discussed during the first call.
For In-person sessions, we will meet at our office in Vancouver, where materials will be provided in a comfy and relaxing context.
Payment is due before the session and can be made by cash, cheque or e-transfer.
A limited number of sliding scale options are available to support people on limited incomes. Please contact us if you would like to discuss this option.
