Discovering the art of self-harmonizing
through your own creative expression.
" The pain we dont transform we transmit to everyone around us. In a world where fear, confusion and uncertainty are a global crisis, my mission is to craft inspiring opportunities for people to explore expressive arts. That way, each person becomes aware and able transform what is uncomfortable through their own creative expression. This is our natural way of having a deeply positive impact in the world, everyday." - Marie Ashley Nelson
Every person is born with the ability to express themselves. Through the romantic nature of the human Spirit, we are all poets, lovers and pirates. Yet, artist or not, so many of us have yet to be initiated into the genius of our creative expression:

In 2019, the World Health Organisation published a scientific study on the health benefits of artistic practices. This was the most extensive study of it's kind, compiling information from over 900 publications over the last 2 decades from all around the world. The evidence clearly shows exceptional health benefits in practicing multi-sensory artistic practices for people of all ages.

When we engage with our creativity, the entire brain lights up and gets involved, so the positive potential of any therapeutic approach done creativity is extraordinary. Even better still, it's FUN!

"I instantly felt safe and at home with Ashley.
Reconnecting with my true nature and learning to be expressed made me feel connected to myself in a way I hadn’t experienced before. She has this way of bringing you these pieces of a puzzle, you’ve always had but might’ve lost along the way.
She helped me realize what I always thought were weaknesses of mine as “SUPER POWERS” and that’s a gift I will cherish forever.
