1:1 art therapy


Individual art therapy sessions might be a good choice, if you have specific questions or concerns that need more attention and care. In a 60 or 90min. session, we will focus entirely on your personal needs. There will be also a chance to develop a long-term relationship and enjoy the benefits of art therapy fully.

My 1:1 art therapy sessions are available online via Zoom, or in a therapeutic space located in the heart of Deurne, a green and peaceful neighbourhood in Antwerp, Belgium. Both options can be equally beneficial and support you in what you are currently dealing with in life. That could also include creative mentoring and you becoming more comfortable with various art materials and techniques that make you curious.

My suggestion is to start with six sessions on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, depending on your personal needs. Each sessions is one-of-a-kind, structured with respect towards your live situation, culture, and preferences. All my sessions are confidential, which means that whatever is shared in the therapeutic space will stay between us.

Therapeutic Groups


My groups can offer you a chance to process some difficult experiences, develop new self-care practices, and focus on improving your overall wellbeing. They might be a good choice, if you are in search of a small community (3-9 participants) cultivating inclusion, compassion, and kindness through listening, expression, and deep connection.

Some of my groups are offered offline. However, most of them are available to a wider online audience. They can be described as welcoming, intimate, and supportive. If you are willing to commit to a series of group sessions lasting between 4-8 weeks, this could be a good option for you. They can include guided deep relaxation, relaxing art-making experiments, or focus on processing of more challenging life events.

New groups will be announced soon. Please stay tuned!

Oasis for Internal Peace


This is a space for creation, play, and connection that is open to anyone. It might be a good choice, if you search for a peaceful space to receive inspiration and connect with like-minded people living in all the different corners of the world. In this larger community, we meet to make art and celebrate the diversity of our cultures with openness, respect and curiosity.

Oasis for Internal Peace is a community-based program, in which you will get a chance to follow inspiring art invitations, make art at your own time, and meet up in an international online group to reflect on your creative process or simply connect with others.

On Friday every week, you will receive an email with an art invitation and you will be encouraged to explore those invitations in your own time and at your own pace. On each last Tuesday of the month, we will gather together on Zoom to reconnect and see how art-making has served you in the past four weeks. In this 90min. gathering, we will focus on listening, sharing, and creating meanings for our artworks.

This project starts on February 2nd, 2024. Monthly subscription for the Oasis for Internal Peace is 29€ and you can purchase it anytime.
