To all the mamas today, especially the ones feeling stretched thin,
“If you had 60%, and you gave your 60%, you gave 100%.” (Mel Robbins, thank you for this reminder.)

You gave what you had. That’s not falling short, that’s giving your all.

Give yourself some love today, you’re not just raising your kids, you’re growing with them,
you’re doing your best with the tools, energy, and capacity you have right now,
that is more than enough.

As an art therapist, I know the power of tiny moments, a mark on a page, a quiet breath, a pause before reacting.

Healing doesn’t look perfect. Neither does parenting. But both are acts of love.
Be gentle with yourself, you’re doing better than you think.

This Mother’s Day, we’re holding space for all mothers.

To those raising children and trying to hold the whole family together.

To those doing the invisible work.

To those who are tired to their core but keep showing up.

To those growing, grieving, and giving, sometimes all at once.

We are sending love to…
those who have lost their mother,
those who have lost their child,
those who are unable to conceive,
those who long to be a mother,
those who parent alone,
those with strained relationships.


You carry so much.

The mental load, the planning, the soothing, the keeping-everyone-safe-and-fed…

It’s a quiet kind of labor, often unseen, but deeply felt.

Motherhood isn’t one story, it’s a thousand emotions at once.

Some days, it’s joy. Other days, it’s pure survival.
And most days, it’s both.

As an art therapist, I witness the strength behind the silence.

The stories stored in the body, the pressure behind the smile,

and the beauty that emerges when we make space to breathe.

So today, whether you are mothering or being mothered.
or navigating the complex space in between, you deserve compassion, softness, and rest.

Caption for Social Media Post:

Coming home to yourself is a journey of self-acceptance, healing, and growth. This beautiful spiral reminds us that self-connection isn’t linear—it’s a continuous process of reflection, forgiveness, and honoring our needs.

✨ Pause & acknowledge where you are
✨ Reconnect with your emotions
✨ Build gentle habits
✨ Celebrate your progress

As an art therapist, I believe that creative expression can be a powerful tool on this journey. Art allows us to process emotions, embrace self-reflection, and create a safe space within ourselves.

Gender equality isn't just a women's issue-it's a human issue. This video flips the script, showing what it would be like if men were questioned the way women often are about their appearance, emotions, and behavior in the workplace. It's a reminder that true equality requires everyone's participation.
Men play a crucial role in this movement-by listening, reflecting, challenging biases, and advocating for change.
When men stand as allies, we move closer to a world where respect, opportunities, and rights aren't determined by gender.
Let's keep pushing forward, together.

Taylor Swift is one of the many women using her voice, talent, and influence to inspire change and empowerment. On this International Women's Day, we celebrate the progress made-but also recognize that there's still work to be done, both in the world and within ourselves. In therapy, growth comes from facing challenges, embracing vulnerability, and doing the deep work of self-discovery. Just like in life, breaking barriers requires courage, reflection, and resilience. Here's to all the women showing up for themselves and each other.

🎨 Embrace the process of self-expression! As an art therapist, I encourage you to explore your emotions through creativity. Take a moment to pause and become aware of what you're feeling. Name the emotion—whether it's sadness, anger, anxiety, or something else.

1. Connect with your emotions: Allow yourself to acknowledge what you're feeling without judgment. It's okay to feel.

2. Sit with your feelings: Dive deeper into your emotions by identifying where you feel them in your body and when you've experienced them before.

3. Release and accept: Let out all the tears, shakes, huffs, and sighs. Accept that the feeling is here, and it's a natural part of being human.

Remember, expressing yourself isn't about creating something 'pretty,' it's about acknowledging and releasing what's inside. Let your creativity flow as you navigate your emotional journey. 🌟

🌿 Sitting With Emotions Isn’t Easy… But It’s Worth It 🌿

When discomfort rises, it’s tempting to turn on the TV, scroll on our phone, or grab a snack—anything to distract ourselves. But emotions don’t disappear just because we ignore them. They wait. They build.

What if, instead of running, we learned to sit with them?

Through art therapy, we practice allowing emotions to be there without needing to numb or push them away. With time, we learn to support ourselves, feel fully, and let emotions move through us—so they can actually go away.

It’s not easy, but it’s powerful. And you don’t have to do it alone. 💛

🌿 Relâchez la tension : Détendez votre mâchoire, front et épaules 🌿

Saviez-vous que la tension dans la mâchoire, le front et les épaules peut augmenter votre stress sans que vous vous en rendiez compte ? Prenez une minute pour respirer profondément et relâcher ces zones clés.

✨ Exercice rapide :
1️⃣ Inspirez profondément par le nez.
2️⃣ En expirant, laissez votre mâchoire se détendre (pas besoin de serrer les dents).
3️⃣ Relâchez le front en imaginant que les rides disparaissent.
4️⃣ Abaissez doucement vos épaules loin de vos oreilles.

Respirez… et sentez la différence. Une simple pratique pour une journée plus légère et sereine ! 🌸

✨ J’ai déjà essayé cette pratique, et c’est merveilleux ! ✨
Pas besoin de grandes choses pour être reconnaissant : pratiquer la gratitude peut réellement transformer une vie.

🌟 Commencez janvier avec un bol vide.
Tout au long de l’année, chaque fois que quelque chose de positif ou que vous appréciez quelque chose, mettez-le dans ce bol ou ce bocal.

Des exemples simples :
🌤 Le ciel est bleu aujourd’hui.
☁️ Les nuages sont magnifiques.
🐱 J’ai flatté mon chat.
🎶 J’ai apprécié le chant des oiseaux.
🚶‍♀️ J’ai pris une petite marche.
🏠 J’ai un toit au-dessus de ma tête.
🍴 Je peux manger quand je le souhaite.

💡 À la fin de l’année, prenez le temps de relire ces petits bonheurs et revivez toute la beauté de votre année.
