When the world feels heavy, it can be hard to know where to put all the feelings — grief, anger, hope, longing.

✊ That’s where art can become resistance. 

Not resistance as in fighting harder, but resistance as in refusing to numb out, refusing to give up, refusing to lose your voice.

🎨 Through color, mark-making, and creativity, we find ways to process, to connect, and to imagine something different.

Join me for Art as Resistance, a guided workshop where we’ll explore resilience, voice, and collective care through art-making.

📅 Friday, October 17th

The shift into fall can feel tender. 🍁 Back-to-school mornings, changing routines, and the cooler air often bring both relief and a little ache. Many moms I work with share how these seasonal changes stir up old patterns, worries, or feelings of letting go.
..and healthy separation actually strengthens your bond with your child. These transitions can be opportunities for resilience and growth, for both of you.

In my newest blog, I share reflections on attachment during seasonal changes, plus a simple art therapy prompt to help you release what no longer serves you as you step into this new season.

🌿 Motherhood as a Creative Practice 🌿

So often we’re told that creativity requires hours of uninterrupted time, the perfect space, or a big project. But the truth is—motherhood itself can be a creative practice.

Creativity can look like:
--the way you soothe your baby
--how you reimagine your identity in this new season
--the small rituals you weave into your everyday life

I wrote about this on the blog, and I’d love for you to read it—especially if you’ve been craving a reminder that you are already creative in the ways you show up for yourself and your family.

Have you been searching for a space like this, Mama?

⭕️ A circle where your full self is welcome—where you can exhale, express, and leave feeling just a little bit lighter?

👋 I’m Leanne—mama of two, licensed professional counselor, and art therapist in Colorado. I created this group because it’s what I needed when I was in the thick of new motherhood.

❌ I didn’t want to make small talk.

🫶🏼 I wanted to feel safe to be real—to process the hard stuff, lay down the mental load for a moment, and remember who I was beneath the exhaustion and expectations.

✨If that sounds like you too… we’d love to have you.

We gather again in Aurora/North Denver on Saturday, May 3rd from 3:30–5pm at the beautiful new wellness space, .

🌈 Because motherhood is sacred. And you deserve to be supported in it.

Motherhood changes everything overnight—sleep schedules vanish, control over time disappears, and even personal space becomes a luxury.

One of the hardest adjustments is realizing that the old ways of managing life—checking off to-do lists, staying productive, and striving for achievements—don’t always work anymore.

👋 Hi, I’m Leanne—mom of two, licensed therapist, and art therapist in Colorado. Using art, I help moms process their unexpected grief that often comes with motherhood, so they can thrive in motherhood.

Here are some ways to honor and move through the grief:

1️⃣ Feel the grief: grief is part of becoming a mom—acknowledge it instead of ignoring it or pushing it away.

2️⃣ Create space to heal: Let yourself feel the emotions. Naming them helps lighten their weight.

3️⃣ Find support: Whether through therapy or a mom’s group, you don’t have to carry this alone.

💛 Not much is the same after we cross the threshold of motherhood—it touches every part of our lives.

😑If you’ve felt lost, disconnected, or like you don’t even recognize yourself anymore, it makes so much sense. You are forever changed.

🌿 But here’s the truth: You deserve to feel like you again—not just a mom, but a whole person with interests, and passions, and dreams.

⚡️Not the you before you became a mother. The you with your new perspective on life since becoming a mother.

👋 Hi, I’m Leanne. If we haven’t met yet, I’m a mom of 2, licensed therapist, art therapist in Colorado. I help moms reconnect with themselves through art, become the artists of their lives, and thrive in motherhood.
