I Am a Dream Catcher!

What are you dreaming of? 
What is the biggest, grandest dream you have for your life? What is preventing you from living that dream? 

Most of the time it is the scary stuff you imagine happening or not happening, that is preventing you from stepping into that reality. You get in your own way, playing small and playing safe. Your dream stays a dream and you live the monotonous life you are currently living. 


I'm here to Activate your Creative HeART, by reminding you to be your own dreamcatcher! YES! Let's capture your life dreams and allow that to happen and trap those limiting beliefs of why it will never be! Are you ready?

Join me for a very Activating in-person workshop, where I will guide you to embrace your dreams at the portal of your Soul ~ the canvas. By the end of this workshop you will dream with confidence and boldly say: "I am a Dream Catcher!"

Are you looking for a fresh creative experience? Join me on a creative expression painting journey in the open fresh air of the Botanical gardens in Pretoria! 

This small (only 10 participants per class) creative painting class will expand your awareness to realise that we are all "life artist" and that your life is the canvas of your Soul!

No previous art experience or skills are required to participate. Only *R450 per person all materials included. *See event details for more information!

Then I want to share with you about my new video series where I help you to Activate your Creative HeART through remembering that Creativity is part of your human blueprint and no one is excluded and that includes YOU!

In this series, I take you on a creative journey to explore creativity outside of the normal expected art studio. People tend to confuse creativity with artistic skills and techniques, and distance themselves from any type of creative practice with a limiting belief that art making or having a creative practice is therefore only reserved for a talented few.

As a creatively fit coach I am here to show you a different reality. I am here to activate your creative heart by reminding you that you are a creative being, and creativity is part of your human blueprint.

With these few episodes I take you on a visual and experiential journey to help you to activate your Creative HeART. When you try out these simple creative tasks, you will discover the joy of being creative, how easy it flows when you allow it, and how wonderful you feel afterwards.

I hope to help anyone who feels that something is missing in their life to discover their creative purpose. I aspire to invite those who has a dream of being more creative, to step into the unlimited flow of creative expression, and to activate those who has a wish that they could paint beautiful artwork.

You could be that person, and if you are looking at this series, that simply confirms it. If you are reading about this series or have seen my invitation to respond, then that is the sign you have been asking for! You are ready to be activated as a Creative HeART. You are ready to become a Life Artist. You are ready to discover the art that is your life, and remember that your life is the canvas of your Soul!

Are you ready? Let's begin! 


In this first episode we explore creativity found in nature. I take you along on a Spirit Medicine walk through the botanical gardens and gather natural materials to create a beautiful mandala. 

The first session inspires you to activate your creative heart by reconnecting with nature.


In this 2nd episode of "Activate your Creative HeART!" We explore Mindfulness as a means of switching from a left brain orientation to the right brain. I explain the difference between left and right brain functions and debunk the belief that if you are left brain dominant that the right brain is not accessible for development.

In todays Creative exercise we explore a simple but colourful doodle. Doodling is a recognised art form and some artists create complex and amazing art with this method. We will do a very simple doodle and try to become mindful of that instant when we switch over to our right brain and enjoy the present moment through simple line drawing.

In this episode we will activate our creative heart through playfulness. I take you back to your childhood when playfulness came naturally to us all. We created with glee and shared our art with everyone fearlessly! 

Approaching the canvas with a playful attitude we use our hands to apply the paint to have a tactile experience of paint meeting the canvas through making simple marks. 

This informative and deeply Activating series is available for rent per episode. I am so excited to share this series with you! For only R50 per episode with two opportunities to watch each episode, I think it is worth every cent! Allow me to activate your creative heart through this compelling video series.

Art therapy vs Creative coaching ?

What is art therapy?

The American Art Therapy Association characterizes art therapy as an approach to mental health that utilizes the process of creating art to improve mental, physical, and emotional wellness.

What is creative coaching?

Creativity Coaches are similar to life coaches, but focus more specifically on your creative work. Creativity Coaches help you to develop your artistic and humanistic talents. Creativity Coaches have helped thousands of artists, writers, inventors, entrepreneurs and other creative souls to accomplish their dreams.



What are their differences?

The biggest difference is that a qualified art therapist is trained is psychology as wel as art and uses art therapy to assist patients to deal with and cope with various mental, emotional as wel as physical challenges. This method is comonly used in hospitals, correction facilities and schools.

Creative coaches makes use of art materials like the canvas and paint as a metaphor and method of life coaching. Coaches are trained in life coaching methods and can have various backgrounds in art and life sciences.



What do these two methods have in common and who can it help?

Both methods use art as the focus and method through which the person receiving the session is empowered through self realization. This environment and method assist the individual to express themselves in a non judgemental space where the purpose of art making is not focused on the end product but rather in the act or process of art making. This process brings to light within the participant a deeper understanding of their core beliefs, emotional intelligence and offers methods of coping strategies to deal with difficulties and life challenges or changes.



It offers a visual medium to discover life purpose and to find deeper meaning in current life events.

It can be used as a visionary method to realise how to become a "better you" through goal setting and even help facilitate an attitude modulation to adjust negative self beliefs and to empower core values not previously recognized.

No art skills or training is required for either methods. Both methods help any participant to discover the artist residing within us all. Both methods empowers the individual to recognize latent talent, unexplored possibilities and the creative development automatically happens when we are allowed to freely express yourself in a safe environment with no judgement of what it is you create.



You find your own meaning in your art work and that is the biggest realization that will come through an art therapy or creative coaching session.

Therefore any person can find these methods helpful, enriching and life enhancing.
