CreativeRx Expressive Arts Workshops
Coming Summer 2026
CreativeRx Expressive Arts Workshops are quarterly drop-in experiences for anyone ready to explore their inner world through creative expression- held in a trauma-informed supportive container. No artistic background needed, no product to produce. Each workshop gathers around a theme and opens a space where movement, writing, visual art, sound, and somatic practice weave together into something you didn't know you were looking for.
These aren't art classes. They're portals. A place to express what's been waiting, explore what's unknown, and birth something entirely your own. Creativity as medicine — the kind you didn't know you needed.
When you're ready to go beyond talk therapy — into the subconscious, into the body, into the places words have never been able to reach — this retreat was made for you. The 1:1 Deep Art Immersion Retreat is a fully customized, trauma-responsive experience designed for deep emotional healing. Through movement, creative expression, and powerful healing sessions, you'll access and release what's been stored beneath the surface. No artistic experience required — and no pressure to perform. Mary uses creativity as a therapeutic tool, not an art class, guiding you into your own subconscious in a way that feels natural, safe, and profound. Just you, your healing, and a space built entirely around both.
1:1 Deep Art Immersion Retreat
Something shifts in the fall. Things release. Space opens up. If you've been feeling called to something deeper — a reset, a return, a creative awakening you can't quite name — this is worth paying attention to. Join the Group Immersion Fall 2026 and walk into an intimate, therapeutic arts experience designed to unblock what's been stuck, reconnect you to your own voice & body. Give yourself room to become whoever you're becoming next (or maybe room to be who you really are inside). Add your name to the pre-registration list and be the first to know.
For The Wild Returning: Group Fall Retreat
About Me
Before I stepped into studying the mind, I began in the world of art. Creativity was my first language long before I understood trauma or the nervous system. As my work grew into psychiatry and somatic healing, I kept returning to the same truth. People heal when their inner world has space to express and be witnessed.
I am a Master’s prepared Psychiatric and Family Nurse Practitioner, a certified somatic practitioner, and a clinical hypnotherapist. My work lives at the intersection of creativity, neuroscience, and body based healing. CreativeRx brings together everything that shaped me: art, hypnotherapy, breathwork, somatics, and more than a decade of trauma informed practice. It offers a gentle and imaginative way to work with the body and the subconscious.
My passion lives in nonverbal expression, in the whimsical and the quiet, and in the small nuanced details that shift everything. Cadence, pacing, and attunement change how we experience safety and joy. This training teaches others how to access that depth within themselves and within the people they support.

As a licensed therapist, I came into working with Mary already trained in traditional modalities like CBT and trauma-informed practice, but I felt there was a gap between what I knew intellectually and what I could access creatively and somatically, both for myself and for my clients. Through my supervision and immersion experiences with Mary, I was introduced to an entirely new way of working: bilateral techniques, visual journaling, expressive arts, breathwork, and body-led practices that helped me reconnect with my own creative flow. What I appreciated most was the safety I felt to ask questions, to experiment, and to integrate these tools in a grounded way. Mary’s approach helped me deepen my attunement, expand my clinical creativity, and trust the wisdom of the body with my clients as well as myself! The work we did together didn’t just enhance how I show up therapeutically; it personally shifted something in me. I began listening to what I actually needed rather than what I thought I “should” feel or want. Mary’s process opened doors for me that I didn’t even realize were still closed, and it has profoundly shaped the way I support myself and others today!

Before our consultation, I felt drawn to expressive arts but didn’t know how to offer it safely or structure a session in an embodied, trauma informed way. Mary helped everything make sense. She showed me how expressive arts and Hypnobreathwork integrate seamlessly and walked me through the full flow of a session. I left feeling more confident, grounded, and capable of holding both group and individual experiences while allowing creativity, embodiment, and emotional expression to unfold naturally. Mary has a gift for breaking complex processes into clear and digestible steps, while also teaching the subtle details that make a session truly well held. Understanding pacing, music, sequencing, and how to read the energy of the room changed everything for me. Her guidance is intuitive, practical, and deeply grounded in experience. CreativeRx makes the work feel accessible, safe, empowering, and easy to implement.

Mary is very talented at what she does. She helps people to feel, heal, and express through art, movement, sound, Hypno-Breathwork, and more. She brings not only compassion, but also so much fun and joy to the spaces she holds. It is a delight to work with her and to be in her presence.
