I work with individuals and groups, guiding them to explore what wants to be expressed — feelings, challenges, stories. In the world of Expressive Arts, they come alive, take shape, and transform.

No art skills needed

I am an Expressive Arts Facilitator. I’m now pursuing an MA at The European Graduate School, researching the pre-reflective perception. My background includes design, research, and a fascination with phenomenology of consciousness, embodiment and movement.

I offer sessions to help you integrate life experiences and reconnect with your resources. Bringing my multi-disciplinary background, I work with organisations to support change and team collaboration.

Individual sessions

Express, Explore, Become

You arrive with questions, feelings, or a tension you can’t yet name. Here, you have space to reach for textures, movements, sounds, and shapes. Feel what’s been waiting, gather the threads of your experiences, meet yourself & move beyond what's holding you back.

Creating Your Kali Myth: Recognising the role of anger

Creating Your Kali Myth

Workshop series exploring anger through expressive arts, inspired by the archetype of Kali. Participants worked with anger using art-based and embodied practices, reimagining their unique Kali in own shapes, colours, sounds, movements, and rhythms.

A canvas of thoughts

My blog explores Expressive Arts — the sensory, imaginative, and intuitive ways of knowing. I describe the pre-reflective self and the subtle ways we perceive and inhabit the world.
