A nurturing space where your inner world meets creative expression


Welcome to Your Journey Within

Through gentle mark-making and authentic creative expression, discover the profound insights waiting beneath the surface.
Beyond The Self offers a judgment-free sanctuary where mothers, women, artists, and seekers explore the depths of who they are, and who they're becoming.

This isn't about creating perfect art.
This is about process over outcome.
It's about honouring your authentic voice through creative exploration and discovering how the integration of all parts of yourself, including the qualities you may not readily claim, creates a more balanced, whole you.


How Inner Work Ripples Outward

When we do the deep work of self-discovery, something beautiful happens: the changes within us naturally influence those we touch.
Your personal growth becomes a gift to your relationships, your family, and your community.
This ripple effect of transformation is at the heart of everything we explore together.

What I Offer:

  • Artist development sessions for creative self-understanding

  • Individual therapeutic art facilitation sessions

  • Child-led creative exploration sessions

  • Small Group workshops for women seeking authentic self-expression


Your Creative Process, Honored

In our sessions, there are no right or wrong marks. No judgments about artistic skill. No pressure to produce anything "beautiful" by conventional standards.

Instead, there is:

• Space for whatever emerges on paper to be exactly what it needs to be

• Guidance that follows your lead rather than directing your journey

• Integration of the aspects of yourself you're ready to embrace

• Meaning-making that honors your unique insights and discoveries

• Process-focused exploration where the journey itself holds the healing


Why Work With Me

Because I care. Because I'm the person you opened up to at the party, at the cafe, at school, at work… and you didn't know why.

There's an energy I carry that allows people to be seen for exactly who they are and for the potential they hold within. It's always been this way. Only now I have a title, formal qualifications in Art Therapy (ACCA Member) and a plethora of practical therapeutic tools to accompany what has always felt like my calling.

I always wanted to create positive change in the world. When I realised the enormity of that task, something shifted: I understood that change happens in the small moments, the personal connections, the intimate spaces shared between individuals. This is where the ripple effect begins - growing our capacity person to person, individual to family, friend to community… it starts small.

I've always been that person who created a safe space for others. Now I simply do it with intention, backed by training, and guided by my own continuous journey of searching within myself and my art for new ways of being in relationship with ourselves and others.

When you work with me, you're not just getting a facilitator - you're connecting with someone who genuinely sees you, believes in your capacity for growth, and understands that your personal transformation is defined by you and a gift to everyone whose life you touch.

Whether you're navigating the complex landscape of motherhood, seeking deeper self-understanding as a woman, or exploring your creative identity as an artist, Beyond The Self offers gentle guidance for your unique journey.

Our work together honours where you are right now while creating space for who you're becoming.
