Helping women navigate mid-life transitions
thru mindful art


Are you currently going thru a big change in your life?
A job loss, divorce, death, menopause or an empty nester?

Do you feel like a fish
out of water?

Not yourself? Unsure of how to move forward? Want more from life? Asking big questions like, who am I? What is the point to life?

Tired of the monotony of life?

Are you feeling over emotional, angry, sad, irritated, old, bored or meh?

If you answered yes to any of these, then
you may be going thru a mid-life transition.

I like to refer to this time as a mid-life adventure.

Not to make light of your situation, and I understand that it may not feel very fun right now, but this is a time where you get to re-discover yourself. Be the person you’ve always wanted to be, stand up for yourself and what feels right for you. Most of our lives have been about pushing forward to the next goal, driving ourselves harder hoping to be happy once we’ve gone all the places, done all the things or taken care of all the people.

Then the bubble bursts and we are left hanging, wondering who we are or what we should do with the time we have left on this earth. Now is your chance to step into yourself. Discover who you are and who you want to be, on your terms.

This will require you to step out of your comfort zone, slow down, accept change, trust yourself, listen to your intuition, go with the flow and ride the waves of emotions the best that you can.

Curves Ahead!
This adventure is going to be bumpy, messy, confusing and full of twists and turns. Nothing short of a hot mess! I am here to re-assure you that these feelings won’t last forever, you will get thru this, and you can make it to the other side wiser, happier, more grounded and a better version of your old yourself.

Mindful Art helped me cope
during my own mid-life adventure. Mindful Art is about creating art without worrying about the outcome. This was so liberating! Using my intuition, shapes and colors, I was able to express how I was feeling. To see and understand my frustrations on paper allowed me to cope with strong emotions, have a little fun and keep some sort of sanity at the same time.

Moods Therapeutic Art Studio was created so that I could share Mindful Art with you, so that you too can have a way to express your feelings, have a little fun, stay sane and not be alone during your transition.

My hope is that I can help you feel better
thru mindful painting, collage and journaling. Moods offers workshops, private art sessions and free discussion groups that connect you with like-minded women.
