Free your creative self - by releasing the
inner forces that are holding you back.
- Re-set your connection to your moving and creative self.
- Challenge your patterns of thinking, moving and interacting with yourself and others.
- Unlock new levels of intuition, inspiration, and creative expression in your life and at work.
The workshop gives you the tools to unblock new ways of moving and holding yourself, new ways of using words and imagery, and new ways of relating to texture, sound, weight and colour. Let go of self-judgement, and you'll discover rich new corners of consciousness.
Uma and Caterina bring a unique combination of deep expertise in creative expression and movement as mark-making. As experienced workshop facilitators, they provide a safe space to explore what you hold within. However wild or under developed your creative self may feel, all of you is welcome.
The balanced, fulfilling, more creative life you seek is waiting for you.
You're invited to bring the courage and curiosity to venture inside and discover it.
"I never thought it would possible to introspect so deeply, have so much fun, and make new friends all in the same space of a day."
"The day was just magic, my body was happy, and my heart at peace. Thank you for such an amazing experience."
"I wasn't sure what to expect, and a bit anxious about the art part. The facilitation was so smooth and gentle that I don't even know how I got to connect so deeply with my body and make an art piece which is now hanging in my studio!"

I love empowering people to find their own powers, their creativity, their path. What if you don't need therapy? Where are the tools to keep yourself in balance, and grow into the life of your fullest potential? The life you haven’t yet lived. As a former journalist I run therapeutic writing workshops, which help reveal hidden parts of ourselves, and hidden pathways forwards. As a painter and artist, I have discovered somatic drawing to unlock the feelings behind our thoughts and actions. And I am one of only a few certified Body Mapping practitioners worldwide, which combines creative process, self-reflection, and integration. I have studied Fine Art in Edinburgh, and taught meditation for over 25 years. My clients include therapists across multiple disciplines, people facing important changes in life or work, and anyone seeking the insight, clarity, and direction to reach their true potential. Like I said I'm not a therapist so I always tell potential clients please don't come to me if you want to be healed, come to me if you want to learn how to heal yourself in the unique way your life is calling for. I work from my studio in Warwickshire, England, and by appointment in Rome, Milan and Berlin.

Every painting is for me, a journey. Making amends with my past, so that one day I can delve into others. How can I touch others, if I don't first know the sensitivity of my own fingers? I am drawn to colour. The subtlety of layering fine glazes, like experiences, one atop the other. When I paint I have no audience to perform for. I want to get to know my painting, my colours. I want to wade through the ugliest of expressions and mistakes to learn fresh, every time, how I am not in control of this process. Often my work revolves around themes of space, touch, and separation. With each brush stroke I learn to stitch in a different narrative, layer a new hue of my identity onto all those that have come before it. So I let this process guide me. I completed a High School Diploma in Fine Art in Rome, and studied at Edinburgh’s Leith School of Art. I teach drawing, painting, and printmaking, and help people find confidence in their ability to feel and express what’s held deeply inside – to guide them through the layers of their own identities.
