A Creative Approach Towards Self-Healing, Wholeness & Freedom
A Creative Approach Towards Self-Healing, Wholeness & Freedom
Self-Healing is a recovery process from psychological and emotional wounds, motivated and guided by a person's own inner wisdom. To facilitate that, I bring together the expressive arts, meditation practices, and community to promote holistic healing, consciousness expansion, and embodied experience.

In inviting a relationship between the conscious and the unconscious mind, we create space for memories and emotions stored in the body and below the surface of consciousness to rise into awareness. That way, we can explore and process them in creative ways, in the present moment's safety.
​
Each person is unique, as we are all shaped by our personal experiences. They leave in us a series of imprints from which we form our identities and narratives. So imagine that there is an entire universe within you. A universe that is particular and mostly unknown. Wouldn't it be amazing to explore its landscapes, its inhabitants, and everything else that constitutes it? That's what I am inviting you to do: travel inwards to get to know yourself intimately, allowing the journey to transform you in ways yet unknown.​
