Let's get into it...
Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would bring me to where I am today..
Hey there! I'm Alecia, but most people call me Leesh. I'm almost 36, a single mum, and I am diving into the world of Art Therapy while gearing up to launch my Creative Workshops.
Life's been a bit of a rollercoaster—I was diagnosed with depression in my pre-teens, added anxiety at 15, and only in 2021 did I find out I have ADHD. That revelation changed the game for me. Instead of medication, I decided to navigate my understandings and work with my ADHD quirks. Given all the signs, it's wild that none of the counsellors I've seen over the years picked up on it.
I was knee-deep in my healing journey when the ADHD bombshell hit, and suddenly everything made sense: Patterns, impulsive decisions, the whole shebang. Turns out, I'm crazy passionate about psychology, emotional wellness, spiritual growth, and self-help.
Trying to blend all my interests into something creative seemed impossible until a workshop opened my eyes a few months back. Since splitting with my ex-husband in 2020, the big plan was to create a space for workshops and community projects at home- This was something I decided to begin further down the track when I had my own home. Then it hit me— I didn't need the perfect home setup; I could run workshops from other locations and utilise what I have access to, where I already am.
So, I dug into Art Therapy, dropped my Graphic Design course, and hopped onto the Art Therapist train.
This blog will be the hub for updates on Ataris Art, my Art Therapist journey, services, and other exciting developments!
Self Healing Practices
Engaging in self-healing practices allowed me to navigate and explore the core of who I am, unravelling patterns that took considerable time to process. This journey involved enduring two Dark Nights of the Soul and distancing myself from significant figures, some of whom I have since reconnected with.
It's not that the counsellors and psychologists I worked with didn't contribute; somewhat, my eagerness to rapidly improve my life hindered full integration, compounded by the late ADHD diagnosis. With an inner knowing that my purpose revolves around love, acceptance, and enabling others to feel understood, I recognise this path is where I am meant to be. It's a journey to explore and guide those who, like me, sense their purpose calling out. Humanity; we are on an ascending path.
Where to now?
Whether you are just here for the self-help tea or would like to explore more by working with me, I welcome you with open arms and a sincere thank you. Together we can create, heal, explore and ascend.
