"You will be surprised what emotions come up during the activity. Let the art lead you, not the other way around. Trust your feelings as you create."
-Zenaida Torres
JG
“I liked the peaceful setting and soothing voice. I felt safe to look within. My biggest takeaway was it's ok to reveal my true feelings instead of hidding behind a fake mask to others. I deserve to schedule time for myself to recharge in order to help my family.
I felt tearful to think how long I have neglected my innerself because of putting others first. Realized that was learned from a young age from my mom.."
Sarah Hughes
"I love how calm, stress-free, easy and enjoyable it was. The power of doodling to gently, yet effectively, explore emotions; the ease and beauty of watercolours and the quality of the questions being asked.
It provided some 💡 moments - especially the failure as fertiliser doodle.."
Hazel
“I learned that I need to be kinder to myself. I really felt inspired to do more heart art... I learned how much easier it is to access my feelings when doing something creative.
I just felt very welcome and it was really easy to follow. It was a gentle introduction.”
Join me as we blend art and journaling, unlocking new dimensions of self-expression and personal growth.
-
Are you ready to let your heart and brush create magic together?
-
As we engage in this artistic practice, we intentionally slow down our busy minds, creating space for clarity and insight to emerge.
-
By incorporating art into our journaling, we discover a profound connection between our creativity and our innermost selves.
Darija Gibson
“I loved that doing it together and your guidance and visuals, helped my art critic relax.
I learned that insight and healing can be done through fun activities.
It is soothing and non confrontational to explore these things in such a way."
Varsha Patel
"I enjoyed how you put the emotions into pictorial visual. As this is something I have not thought of before.
I learned that we can use such imagery to sort of traffic our positive and negative emotions and thoughts coming through"
Zenaida Torres
“Despite the simplicity of the lesson it bought up tons of emotions & feelings. I still have a lot of inner child healing to do. The prompts were really helpful.
I am so grateful for the replays for your classes in general. Gives me "me" time. Let's me nurture my inner child and let's her know it's safe to come out.”
Join me in January's Doodle-with-Me session
Join me on this journey of self-discovery in the upcoming Doodle-with-Me session where we will create a self-portrait called, "This is Me" as we delve into the beautiful tapestry that is you.
It's a celebration of self-discovery and heartfelt exploration of self-love - an essential act of kindness that we often overlook.
Together, let's embrace the canvas of our lives - placing our thoughts, emotions, and actions onto the page. As we immerse ourselves in this creative process, healing unfolds.
Don't miss this opportunity to connect with your inner self, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for all that makes you who you are. Sign up now!

About
Hey there, I'm Melissa Booth-Simonsen,
I'm a certified behaviour analyst and certified Heartwork Journaling Instructor and Coach.
With over 20 years of experience, I've dedicated my career to helping parents, children, and individuals create lasting change and discover the endless possibilities for opening up their lives.
What inspires me is the profound impact that Acceptance and Commitment Therapy/Training (ACT) and Heartwork Journaling have had on my own journey. As I began incorporating these approaches into my everyday life, I experienced profound shifts that brought more meaning and purpose into every moment.
I am passionate about sharing these transformative tools with others, so they too can experience the same benefits I have.
But don't just take my word for it - here are what others have had to say about working with me:
"Melissa helped me align my behaviors and tendencies towards what is important to me. I am looking forward to working with Melissa as she helps me build meaningful relationships in life.
I am so grateful for her, and I know you will be too."
- Grecia
When you work with me,
I leverage my deep understanding of the science of behaviour to personalise your learning experience, making it accessible to everyone.
My ultimate goal is to convey that true meaning in life is possible. Where we start now is an understanding of how Heartwork Journaling can impact your life bringing fullness and meaning.
Join me on this adventure and lets create heART together!
