✨ TERM 4 IS OPEN ✨

You don’t have to start at the beginning of term you can start your journey at anytime!

If you’ve been thinking about joining a Studio Coco group, you can jump in at any time throughout Term 4 if there is space.

Maybe you’ve been telling yourself:
“I’ll wait until next term.”
“I’m not sure if it’s for me.”
“I’ll get around to it.”

Well… maybe this is your little sign from the universe to take that step. My groups are intentionally kept small, because I want everyone to have the space, support and opportunity to connect and create in a way that feels right for them. Once the groups are full, that’s it for Term 4 — I don’t have capacity to open additional groups.

Come and make some art, meet some lovely people, have a bit of a pause from the outside world. Send me a message if you’d like to chat about which group might be the best fit for you and we can organise a time to come in the studio and look around.

A gentle reminder to give yourself the same love, patience, and kindness you give to others. 💗

You don’t have to do everything perfectly. You’re allowed to slow down, take a break, and make space for yourself, too.

Self-care isn’t selfish. You deserve it, too. 🌸

Yesterday, I officially completed my Master’s placement with Communities at Work

Over the course of the year, I have completed 350 hours of placement across many different locations and communities in Canberra and what an incredible learning experience it has been.

My placement has taken me into community spaces, schools, outdoor environments and staffrooms, creating opportunities for people to experiment create and reconnect with themselves through art.

I have:

*Facilitated pop-up art therapy sessions at Tuggeranong Community Centre and Denman Village Community Centre
*Joined the Nature Journal Circle and explored outdoor art experiences
*Worked within a local school, creating a safe and supportive space for students aged 7–10 to create
*Facilitated wellbeing programs for whole-school staff, including teachers, youth workers, LSAs and support staff
*Facilitated a multi-session Artist Book art therapy program for the Ngunnawal Community
*Created opportunities for people to slow down, experiment and play without needing to be “good at art”
*Collected data showing that participants experienced more energy, less overwhelm, greater grounding and more internal space following the sessions

For me, this placement has been about much more than completing 350 hours.

It has been about discovering what happens when we bring art therapy out into the community and make space for creativity, connection and wellbeing in places where people already live, work and gather.

I am incredibly grateful to Communities at Work and the Galilee Communities at Work Galilee School for giving me the opportunity to learn, experiment and contribute within the community over the past year.

And now, as I complete this chapter of my Master's journey, I am looking forward to the next one bringing more grant-funded opportunities for people to access and experience art therapy within their own communities.

350 hours completed.
A lot learned.
A lot created.
A lot more to come.

A little art, a little nature, and a whole lot of healing. 🎨🌿✨

Sometimes, the most beautiful things happen when we slow down, get creative, and let ourselves simply be. 💛
