Become your best self through personal reflection using art therapy, writing, cognitive techniques and your interests.

Welcome

My name is Kathryn McClusky. What I teach is the art of self-reflection. I help people connect to their intuitions using art therapy, writing, cognitive techniques and their interests to assist them in making life decisions. By going through this process, one can become a better version of themselves if they so choose by learning to make decisions that are more in alignment with their who they are at the core. This content is delivered via a self-paced online course, in person workshops, and personalized support sessions as many need an objective perspective to see things about themselves that they aren't noticing. I have my RN license so I'm covered to facilitate this type of content being that it's related to mental health.
