The second half of the school year can be harder than it looks.

Friendships change, expectations increase and school demands build. Many kids feel this shift but don’t always have the words for it!

Art therapy offers a supportive space to express and work through what’s going on, without needing to talk it all out.

Laken works with children + youth (6+) and is currently welcoming new clients!

Sessions are offered both in studio and virtually.

Creating art has been a core part of the human experience for tens of thousands of years.

Long before words could capture what we feel, humans made marks, images, and symbols to process experience, share meaning & care for themselves.

Art therapy taps into that same ancient, embodied way of understanding ourselves. It gives emotions, memories, and inner experiences a form to live in, so you can explore, reflect, and relate to them in a way talking alone often can’t.

It’s not about being “good at art.” It’s about giving your inner world a language it already knows how to speak.

Curious to experience it for yourself?

We are firm believers that any space can become a creative space 🌞

We offer art therapy workshops for corporate teams, community organizations, and private groups, both in our studio and off site.

Each workshop is thoughtfully designed around your group, your space, and what you’re hoping to support.

These experiences can focus on things like stress and burnout, emotional regulation, team connection, communication, or simply creating space to pause and reflect together.

Workshops include guided art making, gentle prompts and time for reflection, all in a way that feels accessible and grounded.

We bring all materials and shape the experience so it feels supportive, engaging + relevant to the people in the room.

If you’re looking to support wellbeing, build connection, or offer something different to your team or community, we’d love to connect!

In art therapy, the artwork isn’t just something you create, it becomes a third presence in the room.

It holds what’s too big to say, creates space to explore, and lets connections happen in multiple directions with yourself, the therapist, and the image.

You can move at your own pace, leaning in or stepping back, noticing, reflecting, and feeling without pressure.

This triangular space of client, therapist + artwork is where insight, curiosity, and understanding emerge.

Often feelings live in your body before your mind can name them.

Drawing with a material in each hand at the same time engages both sides of your brain. This movement can reveal unconscious patterns and implicit memories while helping your nervous system regulate. The way your hands move, the rhythm, pressure, or control, gives a non-verbal window into how your body and mind are organizing and integrating experience.

Bilateral movement isn’t just drawing. Walking, running, rocking, drumming, and therapies like EMDR also use cross-lateral movement to help your brain integrate, calm the nervous system, and safely access implicit memory.

As you move both hands, notice what comes up in your body and mind. There is no right or wrong. Pay attention to rhythm, pressure, and surprises, and let your body guide you.

Each material has a story to tell. Torn paper can hold rupture. Collage pieces can show rebuilding. Masks invite us to explore who we are. Ink, clay, and paint carry movement and feeling.

It’s not just making art, it is a gentle, tactile, visual dialogue with yourself and often that is where healing begins. In this space the materials do not tell the story for you they hold it. They let it surface slowly layer by layer in its own time and language.

Because media matters. Every texture, colour, and form becomes part of the language of healing ✨

It’s been a full month in our new studio together so here’s a few things I’ve been reminded of during this time:

- working alongside friends and like-minded humans is the BEST
- a 2kg container of hot chocolate only lasts 3-4 business weeks 😂
- community truly is everything, and we are so grateful to feel at home in our new neighbourhood
- diet coke > flavoured water (any day)
- those 10 minutes we get to hang out in between sessions are some of the best moments of our day
- environment is so, so important and we love seeing people feel comfy + welcome when they walk in the door
- snacks = creative fuel (we’ve upgraded to Costco trips, haha)
- shared spaces also means shared celebrations
- we absolutely underestimated how many mugs we’d need
- it’s MUCH easier to to the hard things when you’re surrounded by support

and lastly,

-building community together is such a gift- I am so grateful for everyone who has supported us on this journey, it’s a vibrant reminder that we were never meant to do this alone 💗

A scribble might look random, but it can be the doorway to so much more.

In art therapy, we often start by just letting the hand move, no plan, no pressure.

Then we can pause and look at the lines. Shapes and images start to appear, sometimes things you didn’t even notice were there.

Your brain is wired to find patterns. As shapes begin to appear, they naturally connect to memory, emotion, and imagination. Because the movement comes before the thinking, the inner critic softens!

This is such a wonderful way to tend to our brains before we settle into a big meeting, a creative project or an hour of focus. It helps us invited play and flexibility into our minds + bodies.

Fun Fact:

I (Lauren) am an only child + when my parents and I would drive the loooong drive to Florida. I would pass a drawing pad back + forth to the front seat, asking my mom to draw a scribble and then challenging myself to make a picture. Imagine my surprise when I discovered this exercise in grad school! 😅

If you try it out- let me know how it goes!

The questions we explore in art therapy, like “What do you see?” or “How did it feel to make this?” help us connect with our feelings and our bodies. They also teach us to slow down, notice more, and see the world in new ways.

What we learn + practice in the studio can follow us into everyday life, helping us be more open, present, and curious. ✨
