Be your best self
Wellbeing and self-connection through reflective, creative, and photography-based practices for adults.
Hello, Kia Ora, and Zdravo.
I’m Marica and I’m so glad you’ve arrived here.
I’m an experienced registered creative arts therapist, facilitator, and educator who has worked in diverse organisations. I now work in private practice.
Through online sessions, in the comfort of your own space, I guide people on creative self-discovery journeys using therapeutic and mindful practices, including photography for wellbeing.
Together we explore new ways of seeing yourself, your life, and your possibilities so you can thrive in both your personal and professional world.
I work holistically, integrating your psychological, emotional, relational, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.
I offer individual, group, and workplace wellbeing sessions.
Are you ready to bloom?
How creative arts therapy can help you
Actively exploring your inner world by accessing your imagination and innate creativity will help you gain a better understanding of who you are, the way you function, what matters to you, and what you want for yourself. Self-understanding is essential for generating change and becoming the best version of you.
Everyday life challenges arise that impact on your whole being by creating an unbalanced and confused feeling inside you. This can lead to a sense of feeling disconnected from yourself, your work, and your world. This all has an impact on your wellbeing.
Engaging in the creative arts, in the presence of a trained professional, enables you to tap into your inner knowing and resources to explore what is happening and what this may mean for you.
How we will work together
Where and what you need
We’ll meet online via Zoom. All you need is a digital device, internet, and some basic creative materials. I’ll provide a suggested list. You don’t need to buy anything fancy; often the best materials are already around your home.
My role
I will treat you with respect and value who you are, keeping my focus on your needs. I honour that you are the expert in your own life. I walk alongside you, witnessing your process, supporting your self-expression, and helping you make meaning of what emerges.
I draw on a variety of creative modalities, including photography, visual arts, writing, music, movement, and reflective exercises. Together we’ll discover the combination that works best for you.
Your role
Your role is just as important. Being open, willing to try new things, and committing to the process helps you gain the most from your sessions. This work is about your journey, your insights, and your growth. The creative practices provide a safe space to reflect, express, and connect with yourself.
In-person or online
While I work predominantly online, in certain circumstances I also deliver group sessions in the community and contracted workshops in person.
