Healing through Creativity
Guided art projects and coaching to help you through life’s challenges and transitions.
The future is waiting for you to create!
Hi, I’m Larissa, and I’m passionate about using creativity to help women work through their traumas and challenges and feel empowered to live life on their own terms.
I believe that creativity is about growth and expression. As such, it’s a wonderful tool for helping you understand your current challenges and reignite your inner strength and wisdom to find your best route forward.
The best part is, you don’t even need to be artistic! Get started today with the Five Best Creativity Tools for Healing or join me for one of my next workshops, courses, summits, or programs, see below for what’s coming up…

Our goal at Creative U is to help you Heal through Creativity.
There has been a lot of research on creativity and how adding it to your life can help you lower stress, help with depression, create social networks that alleviates loneliness, helps to work through emotions, to feel happier and more centered, it has also been proven to be a great way to work through traumas that you have experienced in your life.
Creativity has also been shown to help with physical symptoms like decreasing pain, clearing brain fog and increasing memorization, decreasing anxiety, lowering blood pressure, and even boosting your immune system.
Whether you need to relax, or to calm your anxiety, or maybe you have an illness and need a boost to see you through, I personally have suffered from severe depression and creativity has been a salvation through that.
What is Creativity?
We often think about creativity as making something "Artistic", but in fact the root meaning of the word means 'to grow'. Creativity's by-products are some of the major achievements of civilization - from the invention of the wheel to our amazing technology we use today.
We are all creative individuals, but sometimes we don't feel like we are. If we can build our creative muscles it can help in so may areas of our lives. Creativity helps with our mental health, our careers, it makes life more interesting and fulfilling.
Many people don't identify as creative and believe they won't be able to make art. The special surprise is that everyone is creative. No artistic talent is needed to participate in creative healing or to do creative activities on your own.
What is Healing through Creativity?
What if you could, draw, write, create, meditate, and work through your spiritual being to heal yourself; Physical, Mental and Emotional healing.
When we create something it moves from the internal (an idea) to the external (the expression).
- We express thoughts and emotions that can be hard to put into words
- We lower stress and anxiety
- We relax and feel calmer and happier
- We connect with self on a deep level, no matter what we are going through
- We find meaning in life experiences
- We find new ways to cope with grief and loss
- We form new connections with others
- We shift our focus away from pain or stressful thoughts to activities that are soothing, enjoyable and fun
- We create something unique that gives us a sense of pleasure and accomplishment
