The Journey to Art2Heal

My journey began in Brazil, where I discovered the power of creativity to transform not just spaces, but souls. Over two decades in creative direction taught me the language of visual communication, but it was my exploration of mindfulness and contemplative practices that revealed art's deeper purpose.

The Art2Heal methodology emerged from a personal crisis that led me to question everything I thought I knew about creativity and success. In that dark night of the soul, I discovered that art could be more than aesthetic expression - it could be a doorway to presence, healing, and authentic self-discovery.

Today, I bridge two worlds: the professional realm of creative direction where I've spent over 20 years crafting visual stories for brands, and the sacred space of contemplative practice where art becomes meditation. This unique combination allows me to offer something truly different - a path that honours both creative excellence and inner transformation.

Based in Chippendale, Sydney, I guide individuals and groups through transformative experiences that combine breathwork, mindfulness, and contemplative art. Each session is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and discover the wisdom that emerges when we create from presence rather than pressure.

My Philosophy

  • Presence Over Perfection

    True creativity emerges not from trying to make something perfect, but from being fully present with what wants to be expressed through us.

  • Process Over Product

    The transformation happens in the making, not in the final piece. Every cut, every placement, every breath is an opportunity for discovery.

  • Community Over Competition

    We heal and grow together. The creative journey is enriched when shared with others who understand the courage it takes to explore our inner landscape.

  • Authenticity Over Achievement

    Success is not about external validation but about the courage to express our truth and the willingness to be seen in our vulnerability.
