In my work as a coach, I am always trying to help people connect with their truth, joy & wonder. I believe these things unite us and boost forward motion in positive, longed-for directions. Im excited to launch a blog that shares my own creative inspirations around these three phenomena and I hope it will inspire others to share their truth, joy & wonder in the world. Check it out!

I cannot recommend this or any event with Rasha at Expressive Arts Living highly enough! A warm and caring, creative, intuitive expressive arts therapist with a brilliant mind and a wonderful way with people. Do yourself a favour!
