artfulretreats.com | bleverde.com | I am an internationally acclaimed art therapist and an advocate of the profound influence of the arts on both emotional and physical well-being. I am the proud founder of Artful Retreats, the pioneering provider of wellbeing retreats and courses using different modalities of art for inner exploration and freedom of expression. My art therapy practise is evidence based and neuroscience informed.I work on the premise that art and mark making is our birthright and everyone can draw, paint and be creative.It gives me an immense pleasure to organise art therapy retreats in exclusive pampering locations to help participants break out from daily routines and rejuvenate with the power of art.My passion for hospitality was developed while turning a charming olive grove estate in Crete to Blevere, the successful luxurious rental business it is today.
