This is an awful disservice to humanity. Research has found that not only is creating or watching the creation of art good for us... It is actually a crucial necessity for our well-being. Almost like Someone created us in Their image TO create... We'll let's check out some of the reasons creating art is so important and beneficial for our well-being.

Therapeutic art, also called neuroaesthetics, neuroart, or expressive art, has many benefits for the whole body. Some doctors and hospitals are even prescribing art for their patients for a wide range of conditions.

Many hormones and neurotransmitters are positively affected when we engage in creating, or even when observing someone else creating art of some kind, and there are many kinds of art and forms of creating. So don't worry, there's a kind just perfect for you!

Some of those positive effects include the lowering of the stress hormone, cortisol, and increasing feel-good hormones like dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins. ¹

Welcome to a new chapter in your healing journey, a chapter written by you.

I would be honored to join you on this healing journey as a health and life coach, encouraging and guiding you through therapeutic art to help you rewire your mind and gain the life and freedom you were created to have.

You may be asking, "How is art able to help with healing?"... I'm glad you asked! We were created in the image of an amazing Creator... in essence, we were created to create, and in today's fast-paced electronic driving world, we are depriving ourselves of that creative nature that was instilled into our very being. We tend to think of creating as a hobby for those people who have time and money for such or for the really talented people who were born with a paintbrush in their hand...

But that is far from the truth. It used to be that everyone created all the time. Want a sock? Someone created it... Want bread? Someone created it... Want a spoon? Someone created it... Want a bowl? Someone created it... Want a basket? Someone created it... and so on and so forth for nearly everything. Even in the Scriptures, we have examples like the master craftsmen being called upon to serve Yahweh. But all too often nowadays, we aren't sitting by the lamplight doing our crafts in the evening, or throughout our day.

Art can actually rewire our brains, change our thoughts and feelings, and improve cognitive function and behavior.¹ Engaging in creative activities can activate the parasympathetic nervous system.² This is the "rest and digest" part of the nervous system and is the opposite of "fight or flight". You do your healing, repair, digestion, and detoxing when the parasympathetic nervous system is engaged. You can't do those functions properly or at all when you are stressed and in "fight or flight".

Engaging in art can help people express feelings and thoughts that may be difficult to put into words. It can also help foster new ways of thinking, help with imagining a more hopeful future, increase blood flow to the part of the brain associated with pleasure⁵, and some arts, like music, can excite nearly the entire brain, leading to improved function all throughout the brain.

As you can see, engaging in art doesn't just give you something fun to do, which it does, but it has long-reaching effects. When you start improving stress and feel good hormones, changing the structure of your brain, digesting better, detoxing more, and healing, so much can happen mentally, physically, emotionally, and even spiritually.

If you would like to grab hold of such benefits but don't know where to start, reach out. I would love to help you. During my one-on-one coaching sessions, we discuss the challenges and goals you have in your life, and I help guide, cheer you on, and encourage you to accomplish your goals and become an overcomer.

I'll help you challenge limiting beliefs and perspectives, shut down the inner critic, develop new habits, learn about yourself, and cultivate self-love, the second half of the command to love your neighbor as yourself... how can you do that if you don't love yourself? After our meeting, I'll send you creative exercises, hand-picked for your unique situation. Joy and shalom are waiting for you!

If you have any questions, please reach out! There is also a FAQ page that will answer many questions.

Kaleigh was very knowledgeable and professional. I felt very comfortable opening up to her about the things going on in my life. I was at my wits' end with not feeling myself. I have definitely seen improvement! She has helped give me the tools to help myself that I never would have been able to do by myself. I cannot recommend taking this course enough! It has been such a blessing to me. I will say not just me, but my family as well has been blessed by me taking this course.

Thanks to Kaleigh, art has also been brought back into my life and I am enjoying every minute of it and so is my entire family... We have begun to really learn to live in the moment and start healing our brains and nervous systems from so many past traumas we have all gone through. I had no idea art could help heal so many things until I met Kaleigh and she shared this wisdom with me. I have since looked into this further after she discussed this with me and found every bit of information shared to be true and backed by science.
