Today in Module 19 of the Master Practitioner of Holistic Art Therapy course, we explored Nature Art Therapy 🌿

I made this mandala was from stones, a frangipani flower, and a beautiful red flower I found in the communal gardens nearby. Simple. Intentional. Alive. 🌺

All students were asked to make a mandala, to then sit with it & reflect on its appearance, message and energetic qualities. 🌼

This module touched something deep. We explored the ecosystems around us; how to care for nature, how to be in relationship with it, and even how to speak to it. And if you really listen, you’ll hear nature speak back. 🌸

We are part of nature, not separate from it.
There is wisdom and peace in our beautiful mother earth. 🌍

I really loved being inspired by nature today & am so honoured to be part of this work! 🌴

What a beautiful day we shared at our Art Therapy Day at the Ormeau Community Centre on Saturday.

For four hours, we stepped away from the busyness of life and gave ourselves permission to slow down, breathe, create, and simply be.

Through a combination of creative activities, reflection, relaxation, and nervous system regulation practices, participants explored gratitude, self-awareness, and the healing power of creativity in a safe and supportive environment.

One of the things I love most about these days is that artistic skill isn’t required. It’s never about creating a masterpiece. It’s about the process and giving yourself space to reconnect with yourself.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such a warm, welcoming, and meaningful day!

Ps. A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful support team for the day – Karen, Christine, Julie, Amanda, and Cass.

What a beautiful day we shared yesterday at our Art Therapy Day in Northgate. 💛

It was wonderful to see so many people come together, slow down, get creative, and take some time for themselves.

There was laughter, reflection, connection, and plenty of paint along the way. Watching everyone immerse themselves in the activities and create from the heart was truly special.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day such a warm, welcoming, and inspiring experience.

I hope you left feeling a little lighter, a little more connected, and with a reminder that creativity isn’t about being artistic — it’s about giving yourself permission to express, explore, and simply be.

This creative piece started with a gift.

In my Gold Coast Master Practitioner class, we were doing intuitive art. My student Vicki created a beautiful page of colour and swirls … and then, while sharing, she tore it into several pieces so each of us could take one.

When I received mine, I knew straight away I wanted to create something with it.

I came home, placed her piece into my journal, and built around it. The shapes, the sections, the patterns… it all just flowed. And the centre space naturally formed, holding it all together in a really simple, grounded way.

What I love about this is what it represents.

We share, we receive, we transform.

Art doesn’t stay still. It moves through us.

And this felt really special to create.

Thanks Vicki!

Mandala Monday 🌸

I created this nature mandala today while I was out in the garden.

The frangipani flowers had already fallen from the tree, and when I saw them, I instantly knew I could use them in the mandala I wanted to make. So I picked them up, along with some Moses-in-the-cradle leaves.

As I placed each petal and leaf on the fake grass, I felt myself becoming more present, more grounded, and more connected to something greater.

No overthinking… just allowing and trusting where each piece wanted to go.

I’m really glad I gave myself this time in nature. My mind, body, and soul truly needed it.

Last night I spent 4 hours with Dr Bessel van der Kolk at Brisbane City Hall.

To listen to someone whose work has shaped our understanding of trauma, the body, and healing… was grounding, affirming, and deeply inspiring.

One thing that stayed with me:

“Imagination is central to recovery.”

And to see Art Therapy, alongside approaches like yoga, psychodrama, and other body-based work, was incredibly exciting.

Because trauma isn’t just held in the mind… it lives in the body, the nervous system, the patterns wired in over time.

Healing isn’t just about talking it out.

It’s about creating new experiences.
New pathways.
New ways of being.

These approaches don’t just explain healing…
they allow it.

I’m Grateful to keep learning, deepening, and doing this work.

And yes… I also walked away with a signed bookmark for my copy of The Body Keeps the Score. 🙌

This is my butterfly of transformation 🦋

I painted this back in 2020 during a beautiful painting session hosted by one of my HICAT students. It was one of those moments where everything just flowed… no pressure, no overthinking, just being fully in the process.

Looking back now, I can see it was more than just a painting. It was a quiet signal of what was coming, the transformation in my own life, in the way I work, and in the lives of the students who were yet to walk through my doors.

That’s the thing about art therapy… it moves things. Sometimes gently, sometimes deeply, but always in a way that brings you closer to yourself.

I feel genuinely privileged to do this work. To witness people use art to understand themselves, to heal, and to shift their lives in ways they didn’t think were possible.

And yes… this is one I’m really proud of. It’s hanging on my wall as a little reminder of how powerful these moments can be.

I painted this back in May 2022 when I was exploring and trying different art classes. I remember having this feeling that I wanted to create something big… like, could I actually do a large canvas and pull it off?

This piece took me about three weeks, just working on it bit by bit and slowly bringing it to life. It was inspired by Frida Kahlo, but also very much my own process of stepping into creativity.

And honestly… I’m pretty impressed with myself. I didn’t know if I could do it, but I did. It still hangs on my wall as a reminder of that.

What’s your creative piece that still amazes and inspires you?
