FEEL.
CREATE.
CONNECT.
Hi lovely one, I’m so happy you’re here.
If life has been moving too fast—or if you’ve been giving so much to others that you’ve quietly lost touch with yourself—you’re not alone.
At Artfully Connect, I guide small groups of women in their 40s and 50s through gentle creative practices that invite stillness, self-discovery, and soul-nourishing joy.
This isn’t about perfection or performance. It’s about presence. And giving yourself permission to simply be.

a Masters-qualified Arts Therapist and group facilitator — but first and foremost, I’m a woman who knows what it feels like to forget who you are while taking care of everyone else.
For years, I lived in a constant state of giving, striving, and quiet depletion… until I rediscovered creativity as a way home.
Artfully Connect was born from that journey. It’s my way of offering what I once needed most: a soft place to land, a brave space to grow, and a community where you don’t have to do it all alone. Here, we use art as a gentle invitation—not a task—to reconnect with ourselves, our bodies, and what brings us joy.
WHY WOMEN CHOOSE ARTFULLY CONNECT
"A precious time and a joy to be part of."
Tanya was both warm and engaging as she gently guided our small group to use all of their senses to connect and create. She provided a safe and nurturing environment and encouraged each participant to explore and release their emotions through the art-making process.

"Her authenticity and genuine care truly shine through."
Tanya creates a warm, calming space through her sessions that makes you feel instantly at ease. Her art therapy isn’t about your artistic ability or creating a perfect piece — she guides you through the process of expressing yourself and connecting with your inner creativity. Tanya is a wonderful facilitator, and her authenticity and genuine care for others truly shines through. I can’t recommend her sessions highly enough.

A SOFT PLACE TO LAND,
A BRAVE PLACE TO GROW.
You don’t have to be an artist. You don’t even need a plan.
You just need a willingness to explore—and a space that truly holds you.
You are so welcome here.
Calm & Connected
