Let’s be real… life gets overwhelming. From traumatic experiences or just simple day to day life… Some of us are walking around feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, or just... disconnected. From ourselves. From joy. From the things that make us feel alive.
We overthink everything. We try to talk ourselves into feeling better, or scroll our way out of sadness. But healing? It doesn’t live in logic. It lives in expression. And that’s where art journaling comes in.
How does art journaling actually help?
It literally gives your nervous system a break! Art-making, especially when it’s intuitive and free, has been shown to:
Lower cortisol levels (that’s your stress hormone)
Activate the parts of your brain that help you feel safer, calmer, and more connected
Improve emotional regulation
I'm so happy you're here!
My name is Norma!
I am a self-taught artist, art journaler, and a deeply feeling human. My creative journey began not from joy, but from survival. I’ve lived through trauma, abuse, grief, and the quiet, aching work of trying to find myself again. Art became my way back.
