Drawing For Wellbeing Self-Guided Course

4 Units, (each 1.30-2hrs) of short video lessons, audio files and resources you can access at your own pace!

If you are creatively curious, or wish you were more arty, suffering from overwhelm, illness or burnout; let me show you how to use mindful drawing as a powerful practice for recovery and wellbeing. It can be the key to unlocking deeper happiness and lasting wellbeing in your future.

We start by understanding some neurological and psychological basics, we put these into practice, developing awareness of how this feels for us, and what might be hindering us, we establish regular micro-habits and short drawing sessions, with consistency to create safety and help us integrate our experience into all aspects of our lives.

My Drawing For Wellbeing, has had universal amazing reviews and lasting impact for the many people who have been through the course. It is now SELF-GUIDED, so it fits even better into your busy life. You don’t need ANY drawing experience or expertise at all! Your pencil is simply your tool to show you what’s going on in your head.

In this course you will:

✔︎ Experience the pure joy of the present moment and how to get there whenever you want

✔︎ Feel the transformative benefits of regular mindful practice, that you integrate into each day

✔︎ See the world through fresh eyes and feel the neurological, emotional and physical benefits of  healthier thought patterns

✔︎ Understand what’s going on in your brain and body and how to use this knowledge to make lasting change in your life

I have been a practising artist and teacher for over 20 years. Over this time I have encountered some challenging emotional lows and cycles of burnout. To help myself recover I began to delve into the world of self-help, getting familiar with psychology and many therapies from parts-work to somatic healing and everything in between. 

The more I learnt, the more I began to see the parallels between various healing modalities, research into the brain and what observational drawing did for me. I realised the most powerful route to recovery was my drawing practice. And applying all I had learnt, to how I approach the page, helped me create a healthier way of living and a practice that was so much easier to maintain than the many meditation and mindful techniques I have tried.

Using my pencil as a portal to the present has been the most effective way for me to stay healthy and lean into the fullness of life. I’d love to share this magic with you too.

This is not a step by step drawing course. It goes far beyond that… you will discover transformative benefits… 

Like Anath: “The sessions have really stirred-up some internal 'knots' that I wish to undo over time. The techniques you taught will definitely be something that I cultivate and practice.” 

Like Jane: “I felt more relaxed after each session”

Or Erin: “I realised I have a “right” to be and act in the present moment rather than just be productive like my inner-critic was shouting at me. This course has been a delight which has helped me see so much joy.”

Here’s exactly how it’s will work: As soon as you sign up, you will have instant access to all 4 units. Be disciplined and complete each video in order! Each video builds on the last and this gentle repetition is critical to experiencing lasting change.

You may hear me reference a Facebook group or live sessions in the videos. For the time being I will not be running in person support but you can ALWAYS contact me with your questions and feedback via my contact page. The price of this course is discounted to reflect the fully self-guided nature of the material.
