Frequently Asked Questions
What is art as therapy?
Art as therapy is all about creating art by ourselves, in art classes or with friends to help us relax, unwind, and feel good. You can try painting, drawing, doodling, art journaling, fabric art, sculpting, or pottery.
But it doesn't stop there! Being creative can also mean gardening, cooking, playing music, dancing, or writing. When we learn new and fun techniques, interact with others, and stay active, it helps us build resilience and cope better with life's challenges. The best part?
You just need to enjoy these activities to reap the benefits.
What is life coaching?
Life can be hard and sometimes we just need an objective supporter while we work through certain challenges. A life coach is not there to give advice or tell you what to do, it is our job to ask powerful questions to help you gain clarity, find a new perspective and discover your own answers.
You should feel valued and capable, as well as the expert of your own life within the relationship.
What is art therapy?
Art therapy is an effective and meaningful way to use creativity to boost your physical, mental, and emotional well-being, no matter your age. The Canadian Art Therapy Association explains that art therapy blends the creative process with psychotherapy, helping you explore and understand yourself better. By using images, colors, and shapes, you can express thoughts and feelings that might be hard to put into words. Through making art, then processing and reflecting on your creations, art therapists support you to solve problems, become more self-aware, boost your self-esteem, manage stress, and promote more positive social interactions.
What is art focused life coaching?
Art focused life coaching allows us to develop and nurture our creativity in ways that support inner reflection and creative problem solving. When we use art making in the life coaching space, it enables us to see our challenges in a new way which can be especially helpful in terms of moving forward in our lives.

What is art journaling?
Art journaling is not necessarily about being artistic! Art journaling is a powerful tool for self-exploration and emotional well-being. It allows us to express complex emotions through creative means, providing a visual language to reveal hidden feelings and thoughts. The process encourages mindfulness, self-reflection and problem-solving, helping us gain insights and explore different perspectives. By offering a way to visualize our goals, art journaling can facilitate personal growth and motivate us to take actionable steps towards our hopes and dreams.
