Children's 1:1 Art Therapy
'Art speaks where words are unable to explain'
What is Art Therapy for children?
Art therapy offers a natural form of communication and provides a simpler way for children to express themselves given their artistic and creative nature. In essence, it is a form of expressive therapy for children that uses art to reduce anxiety, trauma, learning disabilities, emotional problems including grief and loss.
Art therapy can tap into the unconscious mind to enable a child to change their fundamental way of thinking. It can re-awaken stories and memories that may reveal messages and beliefs from the unconscious mind. Through these artistic methods, it aims to help bring these suppressed emotions to the surface and allows me to focus on healing these issues.
The techniques applied during my art therapy sessions include drawing, painting, colouring, collage, clay work and sand play. These different techniques help children reflect on how it makes them feel and encourages them to develop a better understanding of their feelings and leads to personal healing and growth.
Other modalities applied during my sessions include the use of crystal bowls for sound therapy, allowing them to resonate with vibrational tones to calm their breathing, heart rate and open further to the possibilities for self-healing. Further to this is the use of crystals, given children of all ages have a natural form of attraction to them and are drawn toward their energies, beauty, colour and form.
Further benefits of art therapy for children include emotional safety, offering them a safe way to share their story in a non-confrontational manner. It can bring a sense of calm to the body and positively impacts their mindset, interpretation of surroundings and emotional state. It’s an effective way to open up dialogue about situation’s that may be hard to deal with or share. Getting their emotions out in a creative way can be both therapeutic and insightful.
There is a 6- 8 week program specifically designed for your child.

Group Art Therapy Sessions
Family therapy is a chance to understand family dynamics and how they impact each member. This can come in the form of siblings, parents, and children, extended families, step-families, or blended families.
Art can be such a powerful tool to bring forth difficulties so there can be a chance for it to be resolved. Especially for children as using art can be a non-confrontational gentle approach to feeling heard and understood.
My intention is to create a safe environment that allows everyone in the family equal opportunities to express their feelings. This can help break down the barriers of communication that may exist. Through collaborating, it can improve the dynamics and allow for a stronger family foundation where closeness and connection exist.
1:1 Intuitive Healing Session for Children
I use my intuitive gifts and am guided by spirit to combine more than one modality to do a custom healing session for your child. Children are receptive and sensitive to energies and this alternative healing treatment can restore their energy system for better health and wellbeing.
We can often find our children experiencing big emotions where they find it hard to understand and process them. I work on getting your child’s spiritual and emotional bodies grounded and centered so they can focus and be present in their experiences.
An energy healing session will:
- Get to the root course of behavioural issues
- Re-balance and align the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual body
- Removes any emotional outbursts and blockages
- Removes social anxiety and allows them to embrace their uniqueness
- Removes attachment & abandonment issues
- Removes deep trauma
- Reduces feelings of anxiety, stress, and fear
- Reduces feelings of low self-esteem and lack of self-worth
- Brings in calmness by giving them a sense of inner peace
- Brings in better self-regulation and reduced hyperactivity
My intention is to Improve your child’s natural healing process, by releasing deep-rooted issues to bring about internal balance.
I also include and discuss ways for parents to understand and navigate what your child needs on a soul level. This has a huge impact on parents as they integrate the different ways of energetically supporting their child.
Before any healing sessions are agreed upon, I always ask the consent of the child and parents. I always ensure that the child feels safe and understands my process of bringing them back to their natural state of being.
