Welcome Beautiful Soul

I'm Rachelle, your guide at
Holistic Dynamic Creativity

I help women navigate life's transitions by weaving together mindfulness, spirituality, and multi-modal creative expression into a nurturing journey of renewal. My approach combines years of artistic practice with therapeutic frameworks, creating a safe, nurturing space where creativity becomes a pathway to transformation and spiritual connection.

Through gentle explorations of art, movement, ritual, and nature-based practices, I support you in reconnecting with your authentic creative voice — without pressure, judgment, or overwhelm.

MY STORY

🌸How It All Began🌸

My journey into creative reclamation deepened when I discovered the integrated practice of expressive arts

This wasn't just about making art; it was about accessing parts of myself I had forgotten existed and finding a language for emotions and experiences that words alone couldn't express.

It began with a single expressive arts session in 2014 that reignited a freedom and enthusiasm I hadn't felt since childhood — a spark that changed everything and eventually led me to pursue not one, but two levels of certification, all while navigating life's biggest challenges including divorce, career transitions, and becoming a caregiver for my mom.

Through all of this, creative expression became my Soul Medicine. Now, I'm deeply passionate about creating opportunities for women, especially those in midlife transitions, to discover their own pathways to healing and authentic self-expression. I believe in the transformative power of creative exploration to awaken our inner selves and connect us with our spiritual essence.

Stories of Courage, Rediscovery,

and Authentic Expression

"it's a journey back to yourself"

I was able to access emotions I didn't even know I was holding onto. Through movement, painting, and reflection, I found a creative confidence I thought I'd lost years ago. This isn't just an art class, it’s a journey back to yourself.

"excited about this new phase of life"

I found myself in an "empty nest", feeling completely lost about what came next. This approach—mixing creativity, ritual, and spiritual practices gave me exactly what I needed to get excited about this new phase of life.

Donna L.

Age 58

"connected to something bigger"

After putting everyone else first for so long, I didn't think I'd get back to being creative. Now I have a daily practice that really makes me happy and helps me feel connected to something bigger than just my everyday life.

Interesting Facts About Me

I once wrote a fairy tale about myself where I was a curious fox who lived in a crystal forest and set off on an adventure with her tiny red wagon! Doing this allowed me to take a painful personal experience and reframe it through metaphor and imagination. The creative process itself became cathartic and even humorous. The final line of the story: "You really don't have to travel far to discover your heart's true direction."

I paint intuitively, allowing my brush to follow wherever my intuition leads — no planning, just pure creative flow in dialogue with my inner wisdom as I express insights, images and emotions I didn't even know were waiting to emerge. This intuitive approach has taught me that creativity isn't about control, it's about trust and surrender to the process itself.

I also curate beautiful altars using symbolic and natural objects as grounding anchor points in my creative and spiritual practice. These intentional arrangements serve as visual prayers that help me stay connected to the rhythms of nature and the sacred dimensions of my creative journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I haven't done anything creative in years. Is this right for me?

A: Absolutely! The invitation is to begin exactly where you are, with gentle, accessible practices that honor your unique journey. There's no pressure to create "perfect" art—only to explore and express authentically.

Q: I'm in my 30s/40s and this work resonates with me. Is this for me too??

While I specifically focus on supporting women navigating midlife transitions and beyond — because that's where my deepest lived experience and wisdom comes from — creative awakening doesn't have strict age limits. If you feel called to this work, you're absolutely welcome. 💗

The practices and approaches I share are grounded in the specific transformation that happens during midlife's "second chapter," but the creative cross-pollination methods and holistic practices can support women at various life stages who resonate with this approach.

The key question is: Does the focus on reclaiming your authentic creative voice, honoring your cyclical nature, and stepping into your next chapter of becoming speak to where you are right now? If so, you belong here. 🥰

Q: Do I need any special materials or artistic skills?

A: Not at all! You work with simple, accessible materials you likely already have at home. The focus is on the process of creative expression, not the final product. I provide gentle guidance for every activity, making it easy for beginners.

Q: How is this different from traditional art classes or art therapy?

A: Holistic Dynamic Creativity weaves together art, movement, meditation, ritual, and nature connection within a sacred feminine framework — honoring cyclical rhythms, intuitive wisdom, and embodied expression to create a transformative experience that awakens your authentic creative voice. While therapeutic benefits often emerge, our focus is on spiritual and creative awakening through gentle, multi-sensory exploration. It is not art therapy. It is therapeutic creative expression.
