From Pain to Purpose
Heal the emotional roots
of chronic illness
& break free from
unwanted life patterns.
A profoundly transformative 8-session group live program
designed to get into your subconscious mind
so that you can process suppressed emotions
& heal deep emotional wounds
using the power of art and image.
You’ve tried everything…
And I mean you’ve tried it all. You’ve been doing the work—journaling, breathwork, tapping, affirmations, working with your trauma and emotions
- you name it!
You are no stranger to expensive juicers and supplement routines,
You've tried many healing modalities. Maybe you have even tried plant medicine.
You detoxed your diet and your habits but somehow,
they couldn't touch the depth of what you
have been carrying.
I've been there too.
I was exhausted by all the things I needed to do to “be well" on top of the emotional weight I had been carrying all my life. Which was keeping me trapped in negative patterns and compounding health troubles.
But everything changed when I stopped listening to all the conflicting advice and instead, I started digging into the actual roots of my emotional wounds and health issues.
I tuned into myself and did what I knew best —I used art to heal.
The key was unearthing what was underneath it all and,
from that place, navigating this particular season of my life.
Does this sound familiar?
You've noticed the connection between your difficult childhood and how your body feels today. Your health challenges aren't random—they're your body's way of telling a story that needs to be heard.
You've been searching for safe, effective ways to process the big emotions. Anger, grief, and pain deserve more than just being pushed down or ignored.
You recognize that trauma from your past is expressing itself through your body now. Physical symptoms, unexplained health issues may be your body's way of holding onto what happened.
You're exhausted by the same patterns playing out over and over again. They feel familiar but unwanted, wondering why you can't seem to break free.
If this does resonate, you're not alone and you don't have to stay stuck here.
“There is no body that is not mind, no mind that is not body.” -- Gabor Maté

All you need is to use art & image to as a direct line to your subconscious.
That's what Pain to Purpose
helps you do.

The Deeper Transformation
In this program, you will heal a part of the old you, enabling you to begin living a more authentic life. You recognize that trauma from your past is expressing itself through your body now—this program helps you address those deep emotional wounds at their source.
This isn't your typical wellness program. Pain to Purpose is not
your standard online course—it's a healing container.
It’s a deep dive into understanding the emotional underpinnings of your ailments and repetitive patterns. Drawing from the powerful tools of art therapy, somatic practices, and Positive Psychology, it's a holistic approach to healing that honors the body-mind connection.
This is a unique approach combining the latest neuroscience, attachment theory, Polyvagal theory, and more with the Depth-oriented expressive art approach. Nothing like this currently exists on the market.
We'll explore how early trauma and emotional experiences are linked to chronic illness, based on research from the ACE study and Gabor Maté's and Bernie Siegel work. You'll discover how images can unlock your inner wisdom and guide you toward self-healing.
The key difference? We communicate directly with your subconscious through image and art, then communicate back to imprint healing messages the same way.
Even rudimentary, stick figure-type drawings deliver surprising insights. Shape and color communicate powerful truths that cannot be expressed by words alone.
You don’t have to be an artist to do it!
Here’s what we’ll cover
Intake
and Assessment
Using image-based exercises and Positive Psychology assessments, you'll understand where you are right now, how you arrived at this point, and what subconscious patterns are influencing your current experience. You'll be amazed at the clarity and focus you'll begin to experience.
Calming & Nervous System Regulation
The subconscious work takes root when your nervous system is regulated. You'll receive image exercises to release stress and create internal safety, building resources that support gentle yet transformational healing throughout the entire program.
Healing and
Inner Work
Emotional processing forms the core of this stage. We'll work with emotions that may have been suppressed and dormant, residing only in your body. Using imagery and methods from attachment theory, we'll work with your inner child and wounded parts, leveraging neuroplasticity to counteract negative messaging from the past.
Integration &
Reinforcement.
For change to take root, we integrate. Using Positive Psychology methods, we'll map out the future you want to embody and provide tools to help you tap into the realm of hope and possibility.

PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK
“You created such a sacred environment which allows for spiritual growth and reflection, and exchange of thoughts and emotions, which is so very much needed by anyone seeking healing or purpose on their journey.
In particular, I admired how you were always respectful of the participants' privacy and comfort levels in sharing.”
— Isabella
WHAT OTHERS SAY:
It’s been a struggle…
You have spent lots of time and resources on different healing modalities before, so how is this different?
Image is the direct line to hidden aspects of ourselves, and it reveals what lies beneath the surface that words alone cannot express. It’s a shortcut to deeper layers of ourselves.
You will have lifetime access to a set of tools you can use to self-facilitate over and over again;
Think where you will be a year from now
you don't begin unearthing the root causes of your suffering?
I get it.
I’ve been there
Several years ago, I was faced with a relationship and health crisis that forced me to confront my own emotional wounds.
It wasn’t just about the physical symptoms—it was also about the deep-seated trauma, suppressed emotions, and the inner voice I had been ignoring for so long.
In the face of uncertainty, I turned to emotional processing and clearing trauma as a way to help myself, and regain control over my life.
Having gone through my own personal hardship, struggle, pain, and defeat. I was able to overcome many storms using the tools I am sharing in this program.
Understanding that body and mind are a unity was pivotal in my health journey.
I know firsthand how overwhelming the healing journey can be. I learned that having support of other compassionate people and practitioners is invaluable.

Here are the answers to a few questions
you may have:
-
The program's length will be between 8 and 10 weeks. However, since we are testing it based on participants' feedback, we can modify the length to fit the needs of everyone involved.
The program consists of 8 group live Zoom calls, two individual 1:1 calls with me, and personal work in between live sessions.
-
The program included two individual 1:1 sessions with me for each participant in addition to group meetings to guide you better through this engagement.
-
Even though we will follow a specific framework, you can modulate the level of effort based on your intention and the resources available. You might choose to focus solely on emotional processing or just the inner child work, for example.
The resources included in the online platform will be available to you after the program completion as well, so you can easily set your own pace. -
In addition to group meetings, you will need to devote no more than one hour a week to the image and inner work. Most likely, we will allow two weeks for more involved exercises.
During the program will have a chance to voice your feedback regarding the amount of "homework" and the frequency of live calls, so that we can adjust.
-
I strive to create a sacred and emotionally safe environment for group discussions and exchanges. When we meet as a group, we are very respectful of the privacy levels and never push past any boundaries.
Additionally, you will have one-on-one sessions if you feel more comfortable sharing during that time. It is a group program, and if you are not comfortable in that setting, it might be best to pursue 1:1 work, which I also offer.
-
The calls will be recorded, and you will receive the recordings. You will get lots of value from watching the replays.
-
No artistic skill is necessary. The focus here is on the process and expression, not on the aesthetic value of the finished product. Essentially, the opposite of what we learned in school 🙂
All you need is the ability to draw simple lines and shapes. You will be surprised how much insight can be gleaned from a simple drawing. -
You will be provided with a detailed list of art supplies, which will also be posted to the online platform. However, if you're curious, here is a sneak peek at the recommended materials:
Basic art supplies to start with:Colored pencils
Markers
CrayonsDrawing paper
(Even printer paper or the back of paper shopping bags can be used)
