What if healing didn’t have to be linear, verbal, or overwhelming?

Express & Heal is a 40-page, trauma-informed therapeutic art workbook designed to help those who have experienced trauma reconnect with themselves through creativity, reflection and emotional safety.

Rooted in Judith Herman’s 3-phase model of trauma recovery, this workbook includes 15 expressive art therapy activities - each offering a gentle, symbolic pathway toward healing, grounding, and self-expression.

You don’t need to be an artist. You just need to be willing to show up for yourself, with kindness.
