Professional Development Programs

tailored for creative, land loving movers and shakers

Unleash the power of your artsy, earthy, mover and shaker self in your work 

I know you know it. I know you feel it.

When you step outside for that walk… all that stress and busyness falls away.

When you let loose your creativity… that moment of inspiration and clarity finally lands.

What if you could foster and maintain these “aha!” moments and apply it at work?

You work hard. Real hard. And you care. Big time.

Decision-making in your workplace is complex. There’s divergent interests, from the top down, bottom up, and coming at you sideways. Stagnation is rampant.

And you’re exhausted. You give it all you can.

Learn practical, hands on techniques to ground and unleash the efforts of your creative, earthy self to efficiently and effectively weave your work into the world (and not burn out in the process).

The short and sweet of it…

Working with creative, land based techniques, we’ll empower your experience in the workplace so that you can:

  • Innovate decision making

  • Plan confidently

  • Collaborate effectively

  • Holistically explore possibilities

  • Cultivate sustainable, genuine relationships

  • Gain meaningful perspective and clarity on a course of action

  • Feel inspired and encouraged

  • Identify resources and feel refreshed

What you can expect

  • We’ll get to know each other, and craft a plan tailored to meet your unique needs and priorities to be your best professional self.

  • A series of 6-8 sessions, spaced one or two weeks apart, are highly recommended to find a comfortable rhythm for a deeply dedicated and grounded support your professional journey. 

  • Experiential, nature-based and creative suggestions will be offered to support your explorations in each session.  Your artsy, earthy self is so welcome here!

  • Sessions are held online (in PST) or in person outdoors if located around Sunshine Coast or Vancouver Island, British Columbia.  

  • Intentional time spent outdoors and engaging in a creative practices are recommended prior to online sessions, where we will explore what’s emerging for you. 

  • Outdoor sessions will occur in all weather (except when hazardous), and involve walking, creating, and talking (if desired).  We will work with locations that compliment your needs and priorities. 

  • As a professional environmental arts therapist, I work according to the Canadian Art Therapy Association’s Code of Ethics, receive regular supervision, and am bound by confidentiality requirements.  You will be asked to fill out an intake and consent form prior to working together.

get at what is really important

“Working with the land is nurturing, it helps you to practice mindfulness and quiet your thoughts in order to get at what is really important.  It helps one to gain clarity.  I find that when I go into nature with a question (or even to find out what the question is in the first place) being in nature can help to center myself in what would be right for me at that time.  Connecting with nature is a way to bring yourself back into relationship with the earth, yourself and others.  I found when I treated the land with respect and honour, it helped foster my respect and honour for other human beings.”
