Restoring the Radiant Healer

Hi, I’m Ali.

If you’ve spent your days tending to others while ignoring your own needs…
If your nervous system feels fried, your creativity blocked, and your body depleted...
I see you. I’ve been there too.

I’m Ali—an art therapist, somatic practitioner, and healing guide with 20 years of experience walking alongside helpers like you: therapists, coaches, and social workers.

You give so much—but who’s helping you release the weight you carry, restore your inner spark, and realign with the life that’s calling you?

Through therapeutic art, nervous system tools, and alignment practices rooted in deep self-trust, I support you in:

  • Letting go of burnout patterns and old roles that no longer serve you

  • Reclaiming your voice, your creativity, and your vitality

  • Speaking your truth with grounded courage

  • Reconnecting to what brings you joy, peace, and meaning

This space is for your return—back to the wise, radiant self within you. Join a workshop or become a member to begin the journey home.

The Restorative Power of Making Art

When you're deeply immersed in art—drawing, painting, collaging, or even moving color across a page—your brain can enter what's known as a flow state. In this state, the prefrontal cortex (responsible for self-criticism and overthinking) quiets down, while dopamine and endorphins are released, enhancing mood, focus, and motivation.

This neurochemical shift reduces stress, boosts creativity, and promotes a feeling of effortless presence. It also activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which supports healing, integration, and emotional regulation.

Art-making becomes more than creative—
it becomes deeply restorative, offering the brain and body a chance to rewire toward calm, connection, and resilience.
