"I love your sessions! They really inspire me just to doodle through times and fill in my day." - J

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 H

"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.”

Learn how

Heartwork Journaling

can help you become the most POWERFUL you!

With Heartwork Journaling you will learn how to use creativity to:

  • Process emotions and thoughts

  • Heal the past

  • Promote self-discovery

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.

It's not about the ARTwork.

It's about the HEARTwork!

No ARTISTIC or CREATIVE talent required! 

Heartwork Journaling is all about the HEARTwork, not the art.

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.

What inspires me

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

I leverage my deep understanding of the science of behaviour to personalise your learning experience, making it accessible to everyone.
