Expressive Arts Program

Processing life experiences through art and reflective coaching.

with Sammi at Embodied Arts Healing®

About the Program

Our 2-month program provides one-on-one support through creative expression exercises (such as drawing, painting, dancing, music, etc.) paired with reflective life coaching support.

No matter your level of artistic experience, this program focuses on self-discovery and personal development rather than performance. After each art exercise, coaching supports processing symbolism and patterns reflected in the artwork.

Each program experience is customized based on preferred artistic mediums and needs. Please reach out to Sammi to check available program dates.

Please note that our services are not a substitute for licensed therapy or medical treatment and Sammi is not a licensed therapist.

Testimonials

What Clients Are Saying

“As someone who’s been a coach for almost 15 years now and in the healing arts for over 30 years, I’ve explored many modalities—but somatic work is relatively new to me. In just a short time, I’ve discovered how powerful it is for moving trauma and emotional pain, and working with Sammi has been a deeply transformative part of that journey. She holds such a safe, compassionate, and skillful container. Her guidance through meditation, intuitive movement, and creative expression (in my case, journaling) allowed me to access deeply buried parts of myself—especially wounded child parts that had long been holding pain. The session was profoundly cathartic and empowering. Sammi’s presence is nurturing and wise, and her ability to gently guide you through deep healing work is a true gift. I felt lighter, more connected to my sense of self-worth, and energized to move forward. I can’t recommend her enough.”

- Alessandrina D.

"Sammi held amazing space for spiritual insights, awareness and self-expression through dance and art. It really helped me in the healing journey I'm on with my body and my physical health. I loved the dynamic approach that Sammi has with the different modalities. She's got meditation, visualization, dance and art. It was an awesome experience I highly recommend it."

-Tracy T.

"Sammi is amazing, I moved so much stuck energy in my session with her and she moved me through it so beautifully! Highly recommend!"

-Amie R.

"Sammi lead me through an embodied arts dance practice with so much Grace and professionalism, the movement of the practices really helped me to open and get into my subconscious to heal a lot more rapidly than just sitting meditation practices. I was able to heal and move through my pain and insecurities and restore my sense of Divine self-worth."

-Caleb S.
