Studio Coco Art Therapy

24/08/2026

I've taken a little beach holiday to truly listen to my own heart and create a space for myself. It’s a reminder to appreciate the little things in life and to slow down. Instead of waiting until I’m overwhelmed, I’m embracing the importance of taking breaks.

This time away has opened up so much for me… new ideas, opportunities and a vision for my studio!

I can’t wait to share the videos, explore new places, and create an inviting space where others can also find their breathing room.

If you would like to be part of this journey follow my page, you are welcome here or come and visit me at the Disability trade show at Epic in 25 & 26 September 🫶

We put so much pressure on ourselves to figure everything out.

What’s next?
What should I do?
Am I making the right choice?

But maybe you don’t need to know yet.

Maybe you can take a breath, let yourself be where you are, and trust that the next step will become clearer when you’re ready. 🤍

You don’t have to have it all figured out today.

Fun fact about me… I was a handbag designer for 15 years before I came out to Australia, my designs were sold in High Street stores all across the UK, Australia, and Europe!

This week, in my Thursday girls group, we dabbled in some amazing fashion designs made from recycled artworks. I can already picture those fabulous creations strutting down the catwalks during London fashion week!

You’re allowed to rest without having earned it first. 🤍

You don’t have to finish everything on your list.
You don’t have to be productive.
You don’t have to justify taking a break. 🌿

Sometimes rest is the thing you need most, not something you have to deserve.

Put the list down for a while. 📝
Take a breath. 🌬️
Make something. 🎨
Do nothing. ☁️

You’re allowed. 🤍

*Masters Update*

Feeling incredibly grateful for the opportunity to spend time at Communities at Work Galilee School working alongside teachers, educators and support staff as part of my Masters placement.
It was such a privilege to create a little space in the middle of term to pause, reflect, create and reconnect. By acknowledging the challenges of teaching while also making room for the joy and moments that sustain us we created our own inner landscapes.

Thank you to the wonderful team at Galilee School for welcoming me so warmly. 💛

A very meaningful part of my Masters journey with Communities at Work.

To all my teacher friends…
I’ve just had the opportunity to pilot something really special in a school, a creative wellbeing experience designed specifically for teachers.

We took some time out of the middle of term to pause, slow down, reflect and create. Through art-making, conversation and a little guided reflection, we explored the landscapes of teaching.
It was a much-needed reminder that teacher wellbeing matters too.

I’m now opening this up to other schools, teams and organisations who might like to bring a creative wellbeing session to their staff.

Can be used as teacher-identified professional learning for TQI registration. If this is something you’d like to bring to your school, please get in touch. I’d love to have a conversation about what might work for your team.

Sometimes we just need permission to stop.

You don’t need to know where it’s going, or whether it’s going to look “good.”

Sometimes creating is simply a way to get out of your head and back into yourself.

Pick up the paint. Scribble. Collage. Move some colour around.

Let yourself make something without needing it to mean anything.

Just see what comes up. 🎨
