What our clients say
★★★★★
"So useful, grounding and meditative."
“Thank you for the relaxing and really useful evening tonight. Oh, if the wider world knew that making art is so, so useful, grounding and meditative.”
Sue, Healing Through Creativity Workshop
★★★★★
"How rich with meaning each painting felt."
"I went from having no idea what I was about to paint, to feeling compelled to do very specific things - just by trusting my instincts and letting them speak directly to the paintbrush in my hand. It really surprised me how rich with meaning each painting felt, and how cathartic it was to create them. And Julia helped make sense of them in the most compassionate way. I will definitely be back for more."
John, Healing Through Creativity Workshop
★★★★★
"I left feeling with a lot of hope and clarity."
“Julia facilitated such a warm, loving and safe space for me to fully drop into the session. I experienced such a noticeable difference in my mind and body after the session. I left feeling with a lot of hope and clarity. The session also helped me move from criticism to compassion in an effortlessly organic way. ”
Deepa, Participant in Creative Session
★★★★★
"I felt seen, cared for, and extremely safe."
"Julia was wonderful to work with. She's so compassionate and easygoing, dropping little treasures of wisdom along the way. I enjoyed having her beside me as I was expressing myself through art. I felt seen, cared for, and extremely safe. I'm looking forward to exploring my inner world more with Julia as my guide."

Our approach
At Reconnect Space, we take an integrative and embodied approach to well-being. Our approach includes a combination of art therapy, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation tools to support your healing.
Art Therapy
Art therapy can support healing and growth through creative expression. It enhances self-awareness, reduces stress, promotes emotional healing, and empowers you to find your voice.
Mindfulness & Meditation
Meditation and mindfulness cultivate inner peace, clarity, and self-awareness. They reduce stress, improve focus, promote emotional well-being, and enhance resilience.
Somatic Embodiment & Regulation
Somatic embodiment and regulation foster the mind-body connection, reducing anxiety, and building resilience. Learn practical tools to support self-regulation in everyday life.
You don't have to be good at art to benefit from therapeutic artmaking
Art therapy is not about creating a perfect piece of art, but rather about the process. It’s a way to communicate beyond words, tapping into your emotions and experiences.
When a young child splashes paint on paper and expresses themselves, they are not concerned about the outcome. They are fully in a creative flow. They enjoy the sensations of the materials on the paper, their fingers in the paint, taking joy in each step along the way.
The act of creating and expressing is therapeutic, helping you release emotions, reduce stress, gain insight, and foster self-awareness. Art therapy provides a safe and supportive space where you can freely explore and experiment with different materials.
There is no wrong way to create something in art therapy. It's not about being skilled, but about expressing your internal world in a way that’s visible to you.
