Hey there,
I'm Ashleigh!
ART THERAPIST & THE HUMAN BEHIND @DISCOVERARTTHERAPY
Iâm a Canadian Art Therapist, graduate of the Kutenai Art Therapy Institute, and the founder of Discover Art Therapy. My work is all about guiding people back to their inner world through creativityâblending art, community, and embodied self-expression!
Art therapy changed my life, and Iâve made it my mission to share this magic widely so it can change yours too.
Every day, I share accessible and soulful art prompts with over 130K+ humans on Instagram, offering creative medicine for self-discovery and stress relief. Beyond social media, Iâve built a space for deeper journeysâvideo-based courses, digital workbooks, and live group sessionsâeach one an invitation to explore yourself through art in ways that feel safe, meaningful, and profoundly alive.
LETS CREATE TOGETHER
FEATURED IN:
MY MISSIONÂ IS TO HELP EVERYONE DISCOVER A FORM OF ART THERAPY THAT WORKS FOR THEir unique journey
I help people explore who they are through the art they make.
Â
Iâm here to break the mold of what therapy is âsupposedâ to look likeâbecause healing doesnât have to be clinical or confined. It can be messy, intuitive, spiritual, and deeply human.
Art therapy holds its own alchemy. It turns the unspoken into symbol, chaos into clarity, and pain into something real and beautiful.
Iâm passionate about bringing this work beyond the traditional therapy roomâinto your hands, your home, your community. Because I believe art, when used with deep intention, helps us feel more whole, more seen, and more connected to who we truly are.
it feels magical & yet it's evidence-based
Art therapy is backed by decades of research
Studies show that creative expression can reduce stress hormones, support emotional regulation, improve mood, and even enhance brain function.
But if youâve ever picked up a pastel or painted your feelings onto a page⌠you already know this. Thereâs something intuitively healing about making art â something that helps us access parts of ourselves that words canât always reach. Thatâs the magic. And the science agrees.
In my work, I blend research-backed methods with intuitive, soul-led practices to create experiences that are both grounded and expansive â so you can feel safe and inspired while exploring your inner world.

- Your creativity is not a luxury â itâs a lifeline back to yourself.
