Welcome to Art for the heart creative workshop !

Art for the heart is an inner child connection workshop, that has been created for adults to immerse themselves into childlike wonder again. In order to connect with their inner child, and to help switch off from the pressures that come with adulthood, it is a space in which adults can be wild, fun, creative and unapologetically themselves, entirely free from judgement.

As adults we spend so much of our time doing too much, not putting ourselves first, overthinking or being too serious, we forget to live in the moment and be carefree, like we were as children.

Through Art for the heart I will help guide you to switch off from that adult mind chatter and rigid thinking and encourage a loss of inhibitions. The inner child connection can be healing in ways but most importantly, it will be fun!

The following elements can help guide you in being childlike again.

Here’s a little bit about me and why I’ve created Art for the heart 🎨👩‍🎨🍃🌺 💜

Hi! I’m Jodie 👋

• Hawaiian massage practitioner at Manawa massage
• Painter and creative being 👩‍🎨
•Inner child workshop facilitator

For as long as I can remember I have used art as a way to express my emotions and to distract me from negative thoughts.

I studied Art & Design for 5 years at college and university and have always used Art as a tool to express and regulate my feelings. As a small child I would draw for hours on end, creating in my own little world.

Due to a turbulent past and severe anxiety, I found myself led down the path of therapy and inner child discovery. I was needing to nurture and connect with my inner child and guess what I turned to?! Yep you got it, my old friend art! I had found something so healing within this process.

I have now developed a workshop to set that playful inner child free and to help you connect with your mini-self, in hopes to share the happiness and freedom that I felt.

My goal in life is to inject fun and creativity into all walks of life and to teach everyone how art can be used to heal and be resourced as a form of therapeutic meditation. My soul sings when I can nurture and leave people happier after an interaction, either in my practice or in every day life. 👩‍🎨

So lets create, get messy, play, be silly, and laugh again ! ☺️
