5: 🎨 Bring Color to Your Life! The Healing Power of Painting – with Melissa McConnell
Did you enjoy painting as a child but now your inner critic is stopping and blocking you 🙅🏼♀️…?
🌈 Do you want to reclaim the joy of artmaking and bring more color into your life…?
In today’s episode I am joined by the wonderful, intuitive artist, holistic healing practitioner and mum, Melissa McConnell.
Melissa is a true soul & body friend of mine: we met in a somatic experiencing© program and then started to connect more deeply through astrology, art, our personal healing journeys, and somatics.
In our conversation, we explore the connection between painting, journaling, creativity, healing and the body.

How water colors bring you in a deeper contact with your body
