Hi! I’m Cat, founder of Your Creative Healing. I believe that creativity is something we all possess, and that art has the profound ability to transform lives. When we’re given the chance to create in a safe and supportive environment, we can gain deeper self-awareness, find inner peace, and reconnect with parts of ourselves that we may have overlooked or forgotten. Art serves as a powerful tool to center yourself and offers a nurturing pause when life feels overwhelming. It’s a meaningful gift to yourself, and I’m passionate about teaching others how to use art for self-care. It has been a cornerstone of my own life for over 15 years, and I’m excited to share its therapeutic benefits with you.

This course is not art therapy. While creating art and art journaling is inherently therapeutic, it is not therapy.
Do I need to purchase all of the supplies?
This is up to you. The supply list is a recommended list of the supplies I use in my practice. They are supplies that are easy to use and get started with but they are not all necessary all at once.

Sure! There are so many techniques offered in this course to try. They may enhance your current art practice or give you different ideas to try out.
What kind of art journal should I buy?
I recommend a 9x12 inch mixed media art journal. You can of course use a different size, but I recommend this for this course so you have plenty of room to create and so you can use wet or dry materials.
Making art doesn’t need to be complicated.
Let me show you how.
