The Vision

My vision for ARTpath is to offer support and education that truly engages, creating meaningful access and connection for everyone, while honouring the full journey of human development, from birth across the lifespan, both emotionally and socially.

This vision is gently guided by my core pillars: Inspiration, Creation, Expression, and Reflection, values and practices designed to support others with intention and care.

Mission

My mission through ARTpath is to hold space for creativity, care, and transformation, whether through nurturing families during birth and postpartum or guiding children through meaningful arts experiences.
I’m committed to making both care and creative expression more accessible while supporting emotional growth, connection, and a deeper sense of belonging at every stage of life

Philosophy

 

ARTpath began with the belief that children thrive in environments that celebrate their potential and embrace who they are. My arts-based approach supports emotional intelligence, cognitive development, and collaboration, especially for children in BIPOC communities, by creating spaces that reflect their stories, strengths, and cultural richness. As ARTpath evolves, this same heart-centred philosophy guides how I support parents, birthing people, and families, honouring creativity, care, and connection at every stage of life, with a deep commitment to culturally rooted, inclusive care.

Impact

ARTpath creates a meaningful impact by nurturing creativity, emotional well-being, and connection across generations. Through arts-based programs for children, holistic wellness practices, and culturally rooted doula care, I support growth that is expressive, inclusive, and grounded in real-life experiences.

From a child’s first creative spark to a parent’s sacred transition into a new life, my goal is to foster environments where healing, belonging, and transformation are possible, for individuals, families, and communities, especially those within Black and Indigenous spaces.
