I haven’t shared much about my work here lately, but my heart is so full after our first session together. 🎨✨

We’ve just kicked off day one of ‘Restoring Wings to Little Angels’, a 6-day art therapy program for newly arrived Palestinian children.

Amid so much change and displacement, art-making provides a quiet, grounded sanctuary. A space with no expectations, where tactile materials allow young hands to express what words sometimes cannot. In this space, they were not just given art tools; they were restored wings to fly again. 🕊️🎨

Above everything else, this program is a reminder of a fundamental truth: every child has the right to live as a child. To play, to get messy with paint, to make choices, and to feel safe. 🌿🎈

Watching them step into their creative agency during this first session was wonderful to witness. Looking forward to the journey ahead over the next sessions.

Thank you to Palestine Australia Relief and Action (PARA) ‘s fantastic team and volunteers! 🤩

“I didn’t think I could do this; I thought it was more for my grandkids”

That’s what a few participants said before we started an art therapy session for elderly women at NECCHi East Coburg Neighbourhood House, in partnership with Centre for Muslim Wellbeing .

By the end, the room was full of calm, focus, and genuine enjoyment. Creativity and expression really do have no age limit 🎨✨

Today, I had the honour of designing and running an art therapy session for a migrant community group, provided by the Migrant Information Centre Melbourne (MIC) and held at the manninghamunitingchurch Church. 🕊️🎨

Our time together began with a really important and necessary information presentation on family violence, delivered by The Orange Door.

Following a heavy and sensitive topic like this, we intentionally transitioned into an art therapy session. When the nervous system is holding complex information, art-making steps in as a gentle, trauma-informed tool. It gave the participants a safe space to pause, breathe, and process their emotions non-verbally, allowing them to ground themselves through creative play and total agency. 🌿✨

Seeing everyone immerse themselves in the creative process and support one another in the room was a beautiful reminder of the strength found in community connection.

A Huge Thank You to the Village:

This session was the result of a truly beautiful collaboration, and I am so grateful to everyone involved:
• A massive thank you to Krishani for organising this event so flawlessly. It was so beautifully planned, and I absolutely loved working alongside you!

• Thank you to Milla for delivering such a vital, clear, and empowering presentation first, ensuring our migrant community has the essential information and support pathways they need.

• Heartfelt thanks to Manningham Uniting Church for hosting us and providing such a warm, safe, and welcoming space for us to facilitate this session.

When organisations wrap around a community together, real healing and empowerment happen. 🤍

It was lovely having familiar faces in the session.

Over the last two weeks, I’ve had the absolute joy of running a two-part art therapy series for a beautiful women’s group, partnering with the wonderful team at Spectrum. 🤍🎨

When we use art therapeutically, the materials we choose matter so much. Giving participants total freedom to explore different textures is a gentle way to encourage self-expression, mindfulness, and a sense of control.

Here is a little glimpse into our journey together:

✨ Week 1: We kicked off with an open exploration of different artistic mediums, getting comfortable with creative play and letting our hands do the talking.

✨ Yesterday: We dived into the beautiful, tactile world of air-dry clay. Working with clay is incredibly grounding and soothing for our nervous systems. The women were invited to mix, blend, and layer other materials alongside the clay, creating unique, multi-dimensional pieces that reflected their individual stories.

Watching the participants immerse themselves in the creative flow, share space, and support one another was incredibly moving. The artwork they produced speaks volumes. Swipe through to see some of the beautiful textures and moments from our time together! 📸👇

A massive thank you to the brilliant team at Spectrum, especially Sihem, Amona, and Ashwaq. Thank you for your incredible support, your warm energy, and for helping to create such a safe, welcoming space for this group to thrive. I couldn’t have done it without you! 🫶🌿
A huge thank you to Hawwa for hosting us at their hub!

Yesterday, I spent a wonderful session at The Royal Women’s Hospital, facilitating a ‘Mood Busters and Mental Fitness’ workshop for some of their incredible staff members. 🤍🏥

We had a small, intimate group, which turned out to be such a blessing. It allowed us to have a really thorough, deep, and meaningful session where everyone could genuinely connect with the material and each other. I would have loved more to benefit though.

Healthcare staff give so much of themselves to others every single day, so creating a safe space for them to focus on their own wellbeing is incredibly close to my heart.

Together, we explored:
✨ Mental Fitness: Building up our daily psychological muscles to handle stress with resilience.
✨ Mood Busters: Simple, practical techniques to shift our energy, reset the nervous system, and bring a sense of calm to a busy day.

The feedback was so lovely, and seeing the participants leave feeling lighter and more equipped was the absolute highlight of my day. I absolutely loved working with this group and am already counting down the days until our next session!

Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup; taking time for your own mental fitness is the greatest gift you can give to yourself and those you care for. ☕🌿

Yesterday, we celebrated Eid Al-Adha by creating a safe, welcoming space for families who have recently arrived from Gaza. I had the absolute honour of designing and running art therapy sessions for them, and my heart is incredibly full.

When people experience displacement and the trauma of conflict, finding words to express their feelings can be overwhelming. Art therapy steps in as a gentle, non-verbal way to process big emotions, regulate the nervous system, and find a sense of calm.
We invited our participants to create a piece that represents their inner strength, a core value, or something that keeps them going. Every activity was chosen with deep therapeutic intention:

🏡 Creating ‘Home’ outside of home: For those who have been displaced, the feeling of home can feel far away. Assembling house-shaped wind chimes and 3D scratch-art house lanterns allowed them to physically shape and connect with concepts of safety, light, and belonging.

✨ Reclaiming Control: Trauma often takes away choices. By offering a vast world of options (pendant necklaces, scratch magnet frames, magazines, collage cut-outs, and glitter) everyone was given total agency to choose their own path and artistic expression.

The energy in the room was beautiful. Both the mums and the kids got completely lost in the magic of art-making. Seeing them fully engaged, smiling, and connecting with their creations was a powerful reminder of how resilient the human spirit is.

An event like this takes a whole community. I want to say a massive, heartfelt thank you to the beautiful volunteers who showed up and worked tirelessly behind the scenes; I honestly could never have done this without you all. 🫶

A huge thank you also to and for facilitating this vital space and providing the opportunity for these families to celebrate, connect, and feel supported during Eid Al-Adha. It is an honour to collaborate with organisations dedicated to such deep community care. 🕊️

Reflecting on a powerful Sunday.

I had the privilege of returning to the RRF program; a 6-week journey for women navigating separation and divorce, hosted by New Beginnings and CMW. Having facilitated the opening week, it was an honour to return for the final session to witness the incredible growth and resilience of these women.

For our final directive, we used visualisation mindfulness to look ahead, inviting participants to paint their “future self” and the life they wish to cultivate.

There were tears, but there was also a remarkable sense of relief in the room. In this space, there is no “right” or “wrong” way to create. When one participant chose to put her artwork in the bin, it was a profound moment of clinical truth: sometimes, the art acts as a container for pain, and throwing it away is the final, symbolic act of letting go.

Thank you to the team at , , , and for the opportunity to contribute to this vital program. To the women of RRF; may your next chapters be as bold and beautiful as the visions you shared. 🤍
