*gratitude was the last word before I cut myself off!

Looking so forward to what’s ahead, thank you so much for being here and coming on this journey with us ✨

Some things are easier to draw than explain ✨

Our January schedules are now open for children (6+), teens, and adults.

We offer a calm, supportive art therapy space where making art helps you or your child explore feelings, release tension, and make sense of what’s going on inside.

No pressure + no art experience needed, with gentle guidance, caring support and all the materials you need, you’ll have a safe, welcoming space to create, play, and explore.

If this feels like a good fit, we’d love to connect 💛

Inquire through the link in our bio, we’ll be in touch soon!

Oftentimes, adult challenges start as childhood solutions.

The habits and patterns that frustrate us today were once ways to survive. Ways to protect yourself. Ways to make sense of a world that didn’t always feel safe.

As children, we didn’t always have power, voice, or safety. Our brains learned ways to keep us safe.

They worked then, even if they no longer serve us now.

Art gives you a way to connect with our younger self. Every mark, smudge or line is a chance to feel, understand, and speak to parts of yourself that words cannot always reach.

Through creating, you can explore the patterns you’ve developed and what your younger self was trying to protect you from. No judgment. Only curiosity and compassion

Your patterns are not mistakes. They are messages from your past self. Through curiosity, creativity, and compassion, you can learn from them, understand them, and slowly explore new ways to move forward and grow.

If you’re wanting support and feel drawn to art therapy, reach out. We’ll connect you with an art therapist who can meet you right where you are!

Not everything inside us arrives as verbal language.

Some experiences show up as a tight chest, a buzzing mind, or a heaviness we can’t quite name. And trying to talk about it too soon can feel impossible — like the words just aren’t ready to form.

And this is where the creative process becomes such a grounding place to land.
When you sit with materials, your body shifts first.
Your breath steadies.
Your shoulders soften.
Your mind finally gets a moment of quiet.

There’s no pressure to explain or make sense of anything.
You simply follow what your hands want to do — a colour, a line, a texture. Something small. Something honest.

And in that beginning, you slowly find your way back to yourself.
Gently.
Softly.
At your own pace.

Art has a way of holding what we can’t yet put into words, and offering it back to us with clarity we didn’t know we were seeking.
Sometimes our hands know the story before our mind can speak it.

If you’re looking to reconnect with yourself in the new year, our team of art therapists has space for new clients starting in January! ✨

You’re welcome to reach out, ask questions, or book a consultation- whatever pace feels right for you. #

Art fills in the spaces where words don’t always fit.

Art therapy offers a space to slow down, create and explore what’s inside, using colour, texture, and image to find meaning and connection.

Our Hamilton practice is expanding in early 2026 with more space and new art therapists joining our little team!

The waitlist is now open for sessions in the new year. Sessions are offered in-studio in Hamilton and online, for children, youth, and adults. (Ages 6+)

Our team is getting ready to move into a brand-new studio in January 2026, with more space for creativity, connection, and growth.

We’re full until the holidays, but you can join our waitlist through Jane (link in bio). You’ll just need to create an account before adding your name or your child’s name.

We’re so grateful for how much our community has grown and for each and every one of you that we’ve had the privilege of sharing it with!

We can’t wait to welcome you into the new space soon ✨

Welcome to the studio! 🪐

InnerSpace Art Therapy Studio is now open at 201 James Street S, Hamilton ✨

Accepting new clients ages 5+!
I had a full circle moment today as I was putting the art materials away and getting all of the last details sorted in my little space. I realized that I was creating my dream space, and I mean little Lauren’s dream space. This would have been beyond her wildest dreams and more than she could imagine. To have the privilege to show little me what we are capable of has been nothing short of surreal.

This space has been a labour of love, and big big thanks to my partner Ryan for hanging absolutely everything on the wall and supporting my big dreams💛

I hope that this space connects with those seeking warmth, safety and good energy. An art studio is a sacred little place that can hold so much, I’m so elated that I now get to share mine with others!
