“Life is sometimes hard. Things go wrong, in life and in love and in business and in friendship and in health and in all other ways that life can go wrong. And when things get tough, this is what you should do. Make good art. “― Neil Gaiman

The Healing Art Journey

A Journey Towards Healing Through Art

Journey to Recovery: Trauma-informed Healing Through Art.

A Journey Towards Healing Through Art

I use Therapeutic Art and Art Journaling to support women struggling with trauma, PTSD and anxiety. I empower you to tap into your courage, creativity, and strength so that you can more easily learn how to deal with what you are going through, overcome hurdles and move forward.

I hold a Diploma in Art Therapy (DVATI), and my approach is grounded in trauma-informed care, nervous system awareness, and the healing power of creative expression. I believe that art can hold what words cannot—and that healing doesn’t have to be linear or perfect, just supported and true to you.

  • You’re getting through the days, but just barely. It’s like you’re on autopilot—numb, exhausted, and unsure where you’re headed.

  • You keep reliving painful memories that won’t let you move forward.

  • Anxiety takes over at the worst times—making it hard to focus, connect, or feel calm in your own body.

  • You feel on edge all the time, like something bad could happen at any moment.

  • Big life changes—like a move, loss, or job shift—have knocked the wind out of you.

  • Your sleep is restless, full of nightmares or long stretches of being wide awake.

  • Your emotions feel too much or not enough—either overwhelming or totally shut down.

  • You’ve found yourself retreating from people, overthinking everything, or coping in ways that don’t really help.

Does this sound like you?

You don’t need to be “artistic” to do this.

This isn’t about making something pretty—it’s about expressing what’s inside, even when you don’t have the words.

You don’t need any special skills or experience. Just a willingness to show up, make marks on a page, and let your creativity guide you.

One of the things I love most about this work is helping women realize: you don’t have to be “good” at art to feel the relief, release, and clarity it can bring.

What You’ll Get Out of This Work

In the Healing Art Journey, you’ll start showing up for yourself in a new way. You’ll begin to feel more in control of your life—and start creating a path that feels true, connected, and meaningful.

Together, we’ll gently untangle the old stories that have kept you stuck, and help you build new ones—stories that feel empowering, honest, and fully yours.

Here’s what that can look like:

  • Less anxiety taking over your days—and tools to calm your system when it shows up

  • A shift from just surviving to actually feeling alive again

  • Fewer moments of hiding or numbing out—and more healthy ways to care for yourself

  • More confidence, less fear, and a softening of PTSD symptoms

  • Deeper sleep and more rest

  • Feeling more in charge of your emotions instead of being overwhelmed by them.

On the Healing Art journey, you can expect to

  • Rewrite your Story

    Move from surviving to thriving and to help you reconstruct an extraordinary life that excites you.

  • Reconstruct a life that excites you

    Reconnect with yourself, your goals, hopes and dreams

  • Move Forward

What My Clients are Saying

  • “Janaline’s prompts and compassionate approach enabled me to work through and express some challenging and valuable insights in a safe space while getting into a flow state every session."

    "In one session I was able to articulate my aspirations and goals through creating a craft I then literally took with me on a tough journey and used it to help visualize my desired outcome, which did in fact come to be! The sessions were very enlightening, and yet still fun.”

    -Art Therapy group participant, Canada

  • "Janaline you are awesome!

    " And you do all the things I said in the first part (Great listener, remembering details about the client, thinking outside the box)!

    Warm and compassionate as well. I liked the check in too. Check out."

    - Art Therapy group participant, Canada

  • "Art therapy with Janaline was a great experience."

    "She was very present and thoughtful with how she interacted with all the participants. She respected who we are as individuals and gave us freedom to create and express ourselves in ways we were comfortable with.

    Group discussions were a useful part of the process, because we are often going through similar challenges. "

    - Genevieve, Canada

  • "I have had the pleasure of taking several of Janaline’s Art Therapy groups."

    "Art Therapy provided a safe space to gently explore and process the difficulties I faced with anxiety, depression, and an eating disorder. It also helped me navigate the sadness and helplessness around my aging parents and my mother’s passing.

    Each session was based on a helpful theme, guiding us through our creative experiences. I often experienced the surprise of creating something unexpected, which showed me exactly what I needed.

    - Gillian, Vancouver, Canada
