Our approach
At Reconnect Space, we take an integrative and embodied approach to well-being. Our approach includes a combination of art therapy, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation tools to support your healing.
Art Therapy
Art therapy can support healing and growth through creative expression. It enhances self-awareness, reduces stress, promotes emotional healing, and empowers you to find your voice.
Mindfulness & Meditation
Meditation and mindfulness cultivate inner peace, clarity, and self-awareness. They reduce stress, improve focus, promote emotional well-being, and enhance resilience.
Somatic Embodiment & Regulation
Somatic embodiment and regulation foster the mind-body connection, reducing anxiety, and building resilience. Learn practical tools to support self-regulation in everyday life.
What our clients say
"Julia was wonderful to work with. She's so compassionate and easygoing, dropping little treasures of wisdom along the way. I enjoyed having her beside me as I was expressing myself through art. I felt seen, cared for, and extremely safe."
Rachel M., Participant in Creative Session
“With the way technology is going, what you’re doing is so important: to be using art to reconnect people with their own being. What you did was really awesome. I still travel with the piece that we made in our session. It was so dear to my heart."
Nicole, Participant in Creative Session
“Julia facilitated such a warm, loving and safe space for me to fully drop into the session. I experienced such a noticeable difference in my mind and body after the session. I left feeling with a lot of hope and clarity."
Deepa R., Participant in Creative Session
“At the beginning, I was still quite hyped from my busy work day. The session helped me to ground myself and definitely gave me food for thought. Julia created a safe space and made me feel at ease and seen, even despite the fact that we did an online session."
Karolina Z., Participant in Creative Session
“Julia's demeanor and approach are extremely calming and nurturing."
Ahmed H., Participant in Creative Session
You don't have to be good at art to benefit from therapeutic artmaking
Art therapy is not about creating a perfect piece of art, but rather about the process. It’s a way to communicate beyond words, tapping into your emotions and experiences.
When a young child splashes paint on paper and expresses themselves, they are not concerned about the outcome. They are fully in a creative flow. They enjoy the sensations of the materials on the paper, their fingers in the paint, taking joy in each step along the way.
The act of creating and expressing is therapeutic, helping you release emotions, reduce stress, gain insight, and foster self-awareness. Art therapy provides a safe and supportive space where you can freely explore and experiment with different materials.
There is no wrong way to create something in art therapy. It's not about being skilled, but about expressing your internal world in a way that’s visible to you.
