I wanted to share something I’m really excited about and beginning to thoughtfully integrate into my work.

Much of the therapeutic process unfolds between sessions, and that in-between time can be just as meaningful as what happens in the therapy room. Practices meant to support reflection, regulation, or integration don’t always land easily, and many clients find traditional “homework” hard to sustain on their own.

I was recently introduced to Mindclay, an online therapeutic creative arts platform created by a company headquartered here in Santa Barbara, and I truly believe there’s something special here. Mindclay allows therapists to offer clients self-guided therapeutic art, music, movement, and writing practices that support the therapeutic process between sessions.

There are close to 40 thoughtfully designed exercises spanning mindfulness, benefit-finding, cognitive reframing, somatics, and multifaceted creative expression through poetry, art, music, and movement.

As a clinician, I appreciate that the platform allows for thoughtful continuity and structure, while still offering clients flexibility and creative choice. After seeing a Mindclay demonstration, I became genuinely excited to try the exercises myself and have loved what I’ve experienced so far.

For clients who are interested in more embodied, creative ways of engaging with therapy—especially between sessions—this may be a meaningful resource to explore together.

There are subscription options designed to be accessible across different needs and caseload sizes.

Our bodies are storytellers. Long before our minds can make sense of an emotion, our bodies are already speaking — in tense shoulders, heat, restricted breath, or a restless need to move. Too often, these signals are unmet through avoidance, or responded to with the urge to “get rid of” them right away.

Somatic Tracking offers another path: to notice, follow, and listen without rushing to change what’s there.

Somatic Tracking is about befriending your body, one moment at a time. By pausing to notice sensations, you strengthen the brain–body pathways that support safety, regulation, and resilience.

Healing today looked like cold ocean water on my feet and insight from the Two of Discs and The Magician.
(Motherpeace deck).

🌿 Exploring this from a Kabbalistic perspective, it reflects the translation of source into structured understanding (the path from Kether to Binah).

🌿 And the expression of dynamic wisdom through the rhythms of embodied reality (relationship between Chokmah and Yesod).

The peaceful Druze and Christian communities of Syria are facing unspeakable violence.

This is their October 7.

✨May the forces of light and strength protect all those facing terror and erasure.

We must hold them in our hearts, in our prayers, and in our collective conscience.

We stand with them.
