It was a joy to hold space for last night’s online Reflect & Reconnect group workshop.

Together, we looked back on the year and set intentions going forward. Supported by mindful reflection, therapeutic art making and community connection.

It’s always so beautiful to hear about and see the insightful and revealing artworks that are shared. I’m always inspired to see everyone show up to make time for themselves (even in this hectic holiday season).

This work continues to affirm why I love group spaces so much!

I’m excited to offer more workshops in the next year, starting with our first in-person Reconnect Space Melbourne workshop on 11 January 2026.

Manifest: The Art of Expansion will be all about supporting you to step into your power.

Earlybird tickets are still available until 20 December. Book tickets in the link in bio: “Manifest”.

How have you really been these final weeks of 2025?

If your answer is anywhere between “busy” and “barely hanging on”, you’re not alone.

This time of year tends to demand a lot… and offer very little space to breathe.

But what if you paused for an evening and gave your nervous system the one thing it’s been craving?

Stillness, reflection and clarity.

TOMORROW evening, I'm hosting a live 2-hour online workshop: The Reflect & Reconnect Workshop.

A space to step away from noise and pressure, to reconnect with your inner rhythm.

The workshop blends creativity, mindfulness, and community connection. It's an opportunity for you to set intentions for moving forward into 2026.

“Your workshop truly shifted something profound in me. While I’ve had years of traditional cognitive therapy, it was this one class that brought clarity in a way I hadn’t experienced before." Julie, Workshop Participant at Reconnect Space

No artistic experience is needed. Just bring paper, some art supplies of your choice, and curiosity.

Limited spots remaining. Book now:

This is your reminder to let yourself play!

Remember when you used to make things just for fun?
Not to impress anyone or achieve anything. Just… to play.
That’s what art therapy can feel like.

Curious to give it a go? Join us for Reflect & Reconnect on 9 December. A creative evening of reflection, mindfulness and community.

It’s a 2-hour online workshop and you don’t need any creative skill to join.

It’s a space to connect with your inner voice, let go of the pressure and set intentions for the new year.

Creativity has a way of transforming your pain into meaning and hope.

Art therapy is still emerging in mainstream awareness, and I have the incredible opportunity to help others understand its depth and power. To bring art and therapy together in minds far and wide. The idea that art heals is nothing new.

It’s something that you remember in the fibres of your being, if you just connect.

After 4 years of study and finishing my Arts Therapy degree earlier this year, it was finally time to celebrate my graduation from the Ikon Institute of Australia yesterday.

It’s so easy to skip past milestones and rites of passage in our culture, and I feel truly grateful to mark this one! I was honoured to make a speech on behalf of my fellow graduates and was gifted a bouquet of flowers that was so big I could barely carry it home.

When I discovered art therapy, it felt as though all my experiences had been leading me to that point. It was a distinct sense of coming into alignment. The best word that describes my experience is magic. There is a certain kind of magic to this work.

The course did so much more than to teach me technique and skill, but it transformed me from the inside out. As students, we had the privilege to hold space for each other as we re-assembled our internal world.

As therapists, we’re often invited to sit in the uncomfortable space of not knowing. This course has taught us to trust the process and to allow it to unfold in its own time. That even within uncertainty, there is a kind of intelligence moving us towards wholeness. We just have to pause and listen.

Magic. When time and time again, something starts as a simple scribble and becomes layered with profound meaning and depth. It helps to make our inner world visible in ways that are often surprising, revealing, and comforting.

Creativity has a way of transforming our pain into meaning and hope.

I’m incredibly excited to have the opportunity to help spread this message.

Are you ready to slow down?

The final weeks of the year can get really hectic, as we try to get everything done in time.

But you don’t have to wait until next year to catch a break.

What if you gave yourself permission to rest? With a few mindful breaths, a walk in nature, or joining us for some creative reflection.

If you’d like a restful evening of creativity, mindfulness and community, I’d like to invite you to join us at Reflect & Reconnect on 9 December.

It’s a 2-hour online workshop and you don’t need any creative skill to join.

It’s a space to connect with your inner voice, let go of the pressure and set intentions for the new year.

Early bird tickets are still available until 1 December.

Your body will feel the difference.

Did you know you can regulate your nervous system just by drawing?

One technique I use often is bilateral drawing. It involves drawing with both hands at the same time, engaging both brain hemispheres.

It can help you release tension, reduce stress and calm your nervous system.

It’s not about making something beautiful; it’s all about the process.

You don’t need any artistic skill, only a curiosity to explore.

I’m feeling so much gratitude for everyone who joined my Healing Through Creativity workshop last week. It’s the 6th one of these that I’ve run over the past year, and it’s such a nourishing experience each time.

The group was filled with curious, engaged and compassionate people who all decided to spend an evening reconnecting to their creativity.

Here’s some of the wonderful feedback that’s been sent my way:

“Your workshop truly shifted something profound in me. While I’ve had years of traditional cognitive therapy, it was this one class that brought clarity in a way I hadn’t experienced before. Seeing my emotions visually allowed me to identify the toll of the past and the holding pattern I was stuck in. Through the process, I saw that I could move forward with peace and honour myself instead.” - Julie, Workshop Participant

“How relaxed I felt. First time I’ve ever been able to meditate. I enjoyed every minute. Loved participating, thank you Julia.” - Helen

“Julia creates an intentional calming space to reconnect with self, thoughts, emotions & my body’s ‘messages’.” - Diane, Workshop Participant

Next month I’m hosting an end-of-year workshop: Reflect and Reconnect. If you’d like to experience the magic of art therapy, join us online on 9 December 2025. Early bird tickets are still available.

You don’t need to be a talented artist to express yourself.

Some of the most healing breakthroughs happen when we stop trying to do it “right”...and just allow whatever wants to move through us.

Expression > Perfection.
