You Deserve to Feel Joy Again

Hi, I’m Katie — founder of Inner Peace Art Studio.

I know how lonely and exhausting it can feel to live in a body that doesn’t always cooperate, especially when the world keeps asking you to do more. You deserve a kind of healing that feels soft, real, and rooted in compassion — the kind that nurtures both your body and your spirit.

That’s why I created Inner Peace Art Studio: a cozy, accessible space where healing and creativity meet. From anywhere you are, you can slow down, exhale, and begin to feel like yourself again.

Healing through art — one breath, one brushstroke, one word at a time.

The Pause

When chronic illness forced me to slow down and step away from my career, I felt lost, exhausted, and unsure who I was without my usual drive. My body demanded rest, but my mind didn’t know how to follow.
The Discovery

One day, I picked up a paintbrush - not to make art, but to breathe and distract myself from the internal chaos. What started as a few quiet moments of color on paper became a lifeline. Each mark helped me release stress, find calm, and feel a little more like myself again.
The Calling

As I healed, I knew I had to share this. I began professional training in Expressive Arts, Therapeutic Art, Mindful Art, and Arts in Health, learning how creativity can support the body and mind in healing. That journey became Inner Peace Art Studio - a space to help other women find the same calm, clarity, and connection I did.
The Invitation

Now, I help women living with illness discover the same peace that transformed my life. Through gentle, evidence-informed healing art practices, you’ll learn to calm your nervous system, release what’s heavy, and reconnect with your own inner wisdom. You don’t need to be an artist - just open to healing, experimenting, and playing with art supplies.
