A labyrinth represents a journey of self-discovery and exploration. Unlike a maze with multiple paths and dead ends, a labyrinth has a single, continuous path leading to the center and back out, symbolizing the journey inward to find deeper understanding and then emerging with new insights! This mirrors the therapeutic process where individuals explore their inner selves, navigate through complex emotions, and work towards personal growth and healing.

By combining elements of creativity, movement, and nature, I aim to create a nurturing environment where you can explore your emotions, build resilience, and gain deeper self-understanding.
