Hello and welcome! My name is Violet. I am a certified Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapist Practitioner, artist, Tarot and Oracle Reader, and writer from Melbourne, Australia.
Growing up as a neurodivergent introverted Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), I always struggled to find my place in the world and found myself getting overwhelmed with the pressures of day to day life from a very young age. So, I always turned to creativity. You would always find me drawing, painting, writing stories, creating my own characters, playing with my toys/dolls. My inner world has always been extremely important to me, so expressing that in a creative lens has been a a lifelong cathartic, joyful release. I've also had a lifelong passion for animals, magical creatures (especially unicorns, hence my business name), nature, whimsical and fantastical themes; so those themes inspire me, my art, spiritual, and therapeutic practices very much.
In saying that, I have had many years of lived experience around my own mental health journey; particularly with anxiety (general and social), depression, and Complex PTSD, and with a lot of challenges around self doubt, imposter syndrome, overthinking, self love, and such which I've worked very hard to heal and continue to do so each and every day. So it hasn't always been sunshine and rainbows; there have been many obstacles for me to face. Because of this, my mission is to provide a safe, supportive, and gentle space to give others who need it and a chance to feel seen, heard, and validated within their struggles or day to day lives and to do that through a creative approach as I feel everyone deserves that space to gain support, release emotions, and come back into themselves. I truly believe creativity is so important and is such a beautiful way to sit and see what may come out, especially during tough times, but also during times of joy and wonder. It is also a beautiful way to bring you back to your personal power and show you that you are a force and so worthy of who you are.
I also use a lot of those practices with my Tarot and Oracle readings. All I want is for people to feel safe within themselves, so I will always promise to provide that gentle support to do so.
I am very passionate about embracing the beauty within yourself. There are many things about that which stand out to me, but I'm most passionate about embracing the 'weirdo', the sensitive soul, the quiet one, the introvert, the dreamer, the magical and whimsical self, and most of all, your beautiful inner child! Sadly, society has tended to shun a lot of those things, so I want to change that and help you beautiful souls embrace that part of you if you're open to it since that is something that helped me a lot on my journey. Even if none of the above resonate, I'm open to tailoring my services around your journey.
Outside of my creative and spiritual journeys, I love spending time with my three dogs and loved ones, expressing myself through whimsigoth fashion, reading and watching movies, listening to music ranging from Taylor Swift to Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac, engaging in my favourite franchises such as Disney and Harry Potter, and travelling.
If this at all sounds like something you're interested in, please feel free to look at my services and see if my approach suits and reach out. I'd love to hear from you.
