● ABOUT ●
Hello, I’m Noor! A former architect, researcher and cultural manager - turned art therapist. I have lived in China, Spain, Germany and Jordan.  After personally experiencing the transformative power of faith, story telling and creativity, my mission is to guide women on a journey towards healing, fulfillment, purpose, and a deeper connection with God rooted in Christian principles. I have a passion for highlighting God's beauty to the world by helping others embrace life and its gifts in all its forms. Life, the ability and willingness to live it as well as the openness to give it! My therapeutic art sessions offer a unique pathway to shed light on your emotions, reflect on insights while discovering inner peace through artistic expression and bringing lasting healing to your memories. By combining my expertise of counseling techniques with a deep understanding of Christian faith, I seek to provide compassionate and effective care. Throughout the process, I help you discover or strengthen your identity and relationship through and in Christ. As a lifelong learner and storyteller, I believe in reaching people through arts, writing and/or the creation of visual, experiential and relational spaces where every person - holding unique richness and dignity – is able to reflect on the present moment. I’m here to support you every step of the way on your search to find solace and clarity.

● WHAT + WHY ●

Background - Bachelor’: Architecture - Master’s: Arts & Cultural Management - Master’s: Relational Art Psychotherapy - Over 600 hours of clinical training under professional supervision - Over 100 hours of personal didactic therapy - Clinical experience within private, educational, non-profit community and religious organizations working with children and/or women (groups and individuals – virtually and in person) - Registered member of the Professional Association of Art Therapists in Spain (ATe) - Enriching personal experiences in Catholic spiritual direction
If you’re anything like me, you have searched for faith-based, hands-on or immersive avenues where non-clinical healing, coaching and guidance through the arts with a foundation in sound theology is offered… I know, it’s a long list of orders to fulfill... Some element would constantly be lacking. So I decided to create this experience especially for you. My own growing journey within the faith has inspired me to help others find truth and goodness through the beauty of art-making. I see your inherent worth as a human person throughout the evolving process. In unifying my professional and personal passions, I aim to offer consultations to women of different ages and backgrounds integrating faith and therapeutic art. I fully recognize and honor my God-given gifts and abilities to be present, listen, discern and individualize the stories that are trustingly shared with me.

● ONLINE SESSIONS ●

Growth + Guidance: Embarking on this journey is gradual; where a therapeutic relationship is formed and explored between you, your created images and myself. These interpersonal dynamics and invisible connections are also paralleled, even if unconsciously, in our relationship with God and others. These moments of self-reflection and growth become more tangible within the therapeutic process of art-making. Together we can navigate the arising challenges or emotions, and incorporate a new creative routine in your life. Structure + Reflection: ​ Our work together will include a verbal part while also exploring a way to symbolically express beyond words... that which emanates from the depths of your heart! The creation of spontaneous images is a powerful tool to communicate non-verbally as you will be encouraged to discover and experiment with a wide range of art materials. Art gives way for deep emotions that are challenging to identify, perceive or merely describe orally. You'll have the option to explore biblical themes, stories, and verses through art. Our sessions incorporate Scripture-based prompts and reflections to inspire your creativity, encouraging a deeper understanding and application of God's Word in your life. Blank Canvas: Prior art knowledge or education is not necessary. This is NOT an art workshop; the aim isn’t to create aesthetic end results nor feel entertained. It’s all about the process, about how you engage with certain themes which may end up revealing some uncomfortable or dual emotions.

● WORK WITH ME ●

Using these creative movements, I work with women who: - want to discover a new foundation or strengthen their existing identity as beloved daughters of God - feel ready to start healing in a way based on Truth - struggle with self acceptance, anxiety, forgiveness, past wounds, inner dialogues based on lies - look to understand the root of relational and interpersonal challenges, attachment difficulties, self-esteem issues - feel alone in their daily life - seek personal growth and spiritual development - choose to increase devotion by the use of senses / imagination Every individual's journey is unique. My tailored therapeutic art plans address your specific needs, challenges, and spiritual goals, providing a supportive environment for growth, healing and transformation. I’ll guide you in creating meaningful and profound artworks that will allow you to reflect on your life.
