It’s truly a wonderful, accessible way to heal and grow.

"I recently attended the online art therapy workshop hosted by Elise, and it was an incredibly enriching experience. Even though it was virtual, Elise created a warm, inviting atmosphere that made it easy to feel connected and supported. The workshop was thoughtfully structured, offering a balance of guided activities and creative freedom, which helped me explore my emotions and gain valuable insights. The convenience of attending from home combined with the depth of the workshop made it a unique experience. I left feeling inspired and more in touch with my inner self. I also enjoyed hearing other's perspectives on the topics. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone interested in using art as a form of therapy and self-discovery—it’s truly a wonderful, accessible way to heal and grow.

Sculpte your emotions

"The finished piece. Had the most amazing time learning the art of paper mache sculpting with ⁨Elise⁩. Her class was not only fun and inspiring but also incredibly well-structured, making it easy for beginners like me to create something truly special. She guided me through every step with patience, creativity and a deep passion for the craft. Using just paper and recycled materials, I was able to bring my vision to life—something I never thought possible! The experience was therapeutic, hands-on and left me with a newfound appreciation for eco-conscious artistry. Highly recommend this class to anyone looking to explore their creativity and craft something meaningful. Thank you Elise⁩ for sharing your talent and making this such a wonderful experience!"

I would recommend Elise to anyone

"I got connected with Elise very recently where she was playing violin and her notes danced to the movements in the wind. It is then she told me she was organizing a holistic workshop. Her methods to bring in peace to our thoughts was exceptional; music dance and writing being a part of it. I would recommend Elise to anyone looking out for some stability to their thoughts and of course meeting good hearted folk.Good going Elise and wish you the very best in your spiritual journey"

Excellent vibe and ambience

"I spent a lovely morning at a poolside wellness and creative session organised by Elise for our community ladies. We began with light meditation and stretching, and ended by journaling our thoughts. No pressure, no rush—just space to breathe, move, and create. Excellent vibe and ambience, and the reminder to slow down and reconnect. Highly recommend if your soul needs a little reset."

Une ambiance bienveillante et enveloppante

J’ai eu la chance de participer à un atelier d’art-thérapie animé par Élise, et c’était un véritable moment de reconnexion à soi. Nous avons commencé en douceur avec des affirmations positives, guidées par la voix apaisante d’Élise, pour ensuite laisser libre cours à nos émotions et à notre créativité, portées par les sublimes morceaux de violon qu’elle jouait en live. La séance s’est terminée en beauté avec une visualisation de nos objectifs et de nos rêves, le tout dans une ambiance bienveillante et enveloppante. Élise est d’une douceur incroyable, elle met tout de suite à l’aise et crée un espace de sécurité. Et le petit plus qui change tout : l’atelier s’est déroulé au bord de la piscine, un cadre idyllique pour se recentrer. Un moment hors du temps que je recommande à toutes celles qui souhaitent s’offrir une pause intérieure. "

Je vous recommande vivement de découvrir son univers

Participer à ce stage d'Art thérapie est une très belle découverte. Cela permet de pouvoir extérioriser par le dessin des ressentis et de s'autoriser à se centrer sur ses émotions. En plus, on passe un bon moment lors des discussions avec les autres participant(e)s, et surtout sans aucun jugement. Il n'y a aucune compétence particulière à avoir en dessin ou créativité. Il faut juste lâcher prise. Elise est là pour nous guider, nous rassurer, avec sa voix douce, elle sait trouver les mots pour nous mettre à l'aise. Merci beaucoup Élise pour ton investissement au service du bien-être des autres. Je vous recommande vivement de découvrir son univers.
