1:1 VIRTUAL + IN-PERSON EXPRESSIVE ART THERAPY FOR MOTHERS

Calm the chaos of motherhood
through creativity

Rediscover your vibrant, creative self through Expressive Arts Therapy, a powerful tool for healing, self-discovery, and emotional resilience.

You’re juggling endless to-do lists, managing invisible emotional labor, and meeting everyone else’s needs.

But… despite your best intentions, you feel a little stuck, maybe invisible, a lot guilty and a touch burned out. Who has time for real self-care?

If you just keep going, researching, and scrolling for the “right” ways to be a “good” mother, you’ll find the magical solution and finally feel worthy and enough.

Sorry, mama – that’s not how this works.

You're a damn good mother.

The work of being a parent is so f*ing important and deeply serious.

You’re here because you’ve sacrificed a lot of your time to ensure that you are a good parent.
Yet you still don’t feel like it’s enough.

Something really amazing happens when you choose yourself

Here’s what I know:

The most effective way to feel “good enough” is to:

❤︎ Give yourself permission to rediscover who you are beyond ‘motherhood

❤︎ Define how want to show up, and why it matters

❤︎ Start parenting from a place of values (outside society's BS expectations so you can break cycles and be calm in tough moments)

"Kayla’s introduction to expressive arts opened up a whole new world for me.

I began to hear my own inner wisdom again and trusted it in ways I never thought I could. With her gentle and playful guidance, small changes started to emerge - changes that transformed my world and how I responded to it. What once felt intimidating, the art, has now become a safe default for processing my emotions. It’s given me room to breathe, whether life is at its best or its hardest."

Amanda, mom of two under three

What is Expressive Arts Therapy?

Expressive art therapy, also referred to as "art as therapy" or "therapeutic art," is an evidence-based and non-clinical approach to processing emotions and experiences.

Simply put, it’s using creativity as a tool for healing, self-discovery, and emotional growth.

Expressive Arts Therapy isn’t about being an artist.

It’s about tapping into creativity—whether through journaling, drawing, movement, or storytelling—to explore your emotions, gain clarity, and build resilience.

    • Process and manage stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions.

    • Build tools to navigate challenges with clarity and resilience.

    • Create emotional space to feel more present in your life.

    • Reclaim your creativity and sense of self.

    • Feel seen and supported in a space that honors your unique story.

    • Experience renewed confidence, joy, and connection to your authentic self.

  • Kayla is unlike other counselors I have seen. She cares, listens, and truly understands me. Her work is priceless in a society that pressures women to be perfect. She encourages vulnerability and self-exploration in a nonjudgmental and safe environment. Every session, I discover something powerful and new about myself. She often shares practical quotes, pieces of wisdom, songs, or books to help with whatever I am struggling with. - STEPHANIE

  • Every time I leave Kayla’s studio, I feel a sense of calm. Her presence brings me down to a level where I can be introspective and present in the moment. Kayla has made my postpartum period much more enjoyable. - JODY

  • Working one-on-one with Kayla creates a moment of oasis where my voice is heard, and my feelings are validated. Then, she helps me move forward in my journey of figuring out who I am now that I'm a mom. - DANIELLE

  • I thought I was aware of the postpartum depression (PPD) signs before I had my son, but the first 8 weeks were so shitty, and I didn't recognize myself. I didn't realize that I was experiencing PPD; it looked so different from my friends and my sister, and my "symptoms" were so unlike theirs. I didn't know what to do or where to go. I scored high on the EPDS screen at a routine check-up, and I knew I needed to do something about it. I went searching and found Kayla. She helped me understand my intrusive thoughts and didn't judge me or offer unsolicited advice. - KENDRA

  • Expressive art with Kayla, oh boy, where do I start? I really appreciate the questions she asks and how she can be herself during our sessions. Anxiety can affect anyone, and Kayla has helped me to make lots of art about it and heal it. I'm grateful to have her as my therapist. - CHANTAL

FAQ

  • The process is quite simple if you're interested in trying it out.

    1. Book your no-cost 20-minute consult where I find out more about you, what keeps you up at night, and so on.

    1. If we are a good match, we will schedule a 90-minute first session. Once the date is confirmed, I will send you an agreement form to sign, a list of supplies, and invoice details.

    2. If you're interested in more sessions, we will schedule weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly sessions. I recommend starting with at least 6 sessions together.

  • First, you'll give an update, and then we'll move on to a specific question, topic, or theme you want to explore. After that, we'll take a moment to chill and meditate, guided or unguided. Then, we'll get creative and make some art or do any other creative expression. After that, you'll reflect on what you made and write about it. Finally, we'll wrap it up by discussing what was created, the process, how you feel about it, and any 'ah-ha' moments or takeaways.
