I’ve been SO quiet on here lately, I thought I’d do a little re-intro…

Hey 👋🏼 I’m Emma! The heart and founder of Zen Zebra Art Therapy 👩🏼 I’m a mum, wife and friend that will take your secrets to the grave
🍫 I LOVE chocolate, Yorkshire tea and rainbows
🐆 My fave colours are hot pink and leopard print
🧠 I’ve been playing Farm Heroes Saga for almost a decade and am currently stuck on level 4775
🦞 If I could eat anything everyday for the rest of my life it would be seafood
🇬🇧 I was Australian born and Yorkshire raised
🤠 I love country music, pop music, or anything I can dance to
🍀 My lucky number is 21. It’s also my favourite number (is there a difference?)
☀️ In my spare time I like to be in nature, travel, be social, dance and eat really good food
📺 I love movies, the theatre and a good Netty doco
♥️ I have three tattoos, and instead of regretting them, I worry I’ll regret not getting more
⏰ I absolutely hate being late, little stresses me more
👩🏾‍🤝‍👩🏼 People and their stories are my kryptonite. Finding a career involving both is what dreams are made of❤️‍🩹🌈✨🫶🏼!!

So, do we have anything in common..?

🚨 After a much welcomed and extended holiday break with my family and loved ones, I am excited to be back in my studio from next Tuesday (21st) 💁🏼‍♀️.

I’m refreshed, recharged and ready for another wonderful year of messy, meaningful and creative conversations!!!

Can’t wait to see you 🤩 x

Looking for a simple and meaningful art therapy prompt?

Try creating a wheel of emotions ⭕️🔅🪀🌀

Start by listing all the emotions (big & little) you’ve experienced over the last week…

Next, assign each emotion its own colour and a portion of the wheel that feels appropriate to your recent experience of that emotion (eg. overwhelming sadness = biiig chunk of the wheel)

Once your list is complete and the wheel is divided accordingly, have fun making up patterns and designs for each emotion 🖍️ .

Lastly, pause, reflect and just get curious…💭

What do you notice? What stands out at first glance?
Which feeling/emotion got the largest slice of the pie? Is the answer what you expected?
Which pattern do you like best/least? Why so?
Does anything surprise you when you look at your emotion wheel?
What was your favourite part of the whole process?

We all know that “filling your cup” is about prioritising self-care and nourishing your own well-being so you can show up fully for others👩🏾‍🤝‍👩🏼.

But I’m not here to lecture you about meditation or journalling because that would be hypocritical of me🥴.

So instead of detailing some generic, well meaning methods of self-care I decided to share what makes me happy, balanced and recharged… ⚖️🧘🏼‍♀️🍰🏖️🐶🛍️🤩

Remember, self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential for a happier, healthier you xx

I stumbled upon these words today and felt compelled to share their wisdom. They’re oldies, but goodies 🦉

I’m not sure who needed to hear them, but I’m guessing someone did… 💁🏼‍♀️

Happy Friday Folks x Hope you have a wonderful weekend ☀️xx

Yayyyy to new headshots and to loving what I do♥️.

I did wonder if I should have looked more serious though🤔

Oh well, warm, empathic, trustworthy, compassionate, patient, impartial, sensitive and genuinely interested will have to do instead ☺️💁🏼‍♀️.

I hope I got it right 🤷🏼‍♀️?

If you, or someone you love needs some help or healing, please reach out today… 📞

📣“All behaviour is a form of communication!”

👕I love this statement so much that I’ve recently had it printed on some T-shirts.

💔It reiterates the simple notion that children aren’t always able to articulate their thoughts into feelings, and their feelings into words, especially when those thoughts are wrapped in pain or confusion.

🧠As adults we must understand that challenging and big behaviour is often the only way our children can communicate in that moment.

It’s my itty bitty business’s birthday this week 3️⃣🎂🎈.

6 years ago I was given the best career advice of my life ~ ‘combine your passions with your talents and you’ll never look back!’

People are my passion! People energise me! Nothing fascinates me more than people and their stories. Helping is a desire and rainbows are an obsession. Creativity is a gift and psychotherapy is my calling. Therefore art therapy had to be my vocation 🎨❤️‍🩹.

Today I remain grateful for the little he-art space I created and the people that join me in it 🙏🏼.

Happy 3rd Birthday Zen Zebra!! Here’s to many more wonderful years of bearing witness to the courage of others 🦁 xXx

Exploring their artwork afterwards this client realised they’d been desperate to cover all the white spaces as they perceived them as “boring”.

On deeper reflection we wondered what life might look with a little more of the ‘white paper?’

Perhaps it might mean more space and time for… “opportunities, new beginnings, something different… for glitter!!”

Daily reminder… “Don’t forget to leave room for the sparkle ✨”

Just a gentle reminder to my current families and a polite notice to any curious newcomers that I’m headed overseas and the studio will be closed until 6 Aug ✈️🌸.

Emails won’t be monitored daily but I will endeavour to respond to any marked urgent🚨.

To all my fellow helpers, healers, parents and carers, remember… isn’t selfish. You can’t pour from an empty cup!!

See you soon, recharged and refreshed, Emma xx 🌻🌷🪻.
