Welcome to Your Refuge Journals
I am so happy that you are here! At Your Refuge Journals, my mission is to self-empower women to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and joy through art journaling.
I believe that the act of creating art, regardless of artistic skill, holds the power to bring happiness and self-fulfillment.
By providing a nurturing space that welcomes all levels of creativity, I enable women to explore their inner world and embrace their unique essence.

If you are a beginner at journaling and don’t know where to get started, I can help you get started. I would love to hear your story, and help you design an individualized journaling practice that is best suited for YOU.
