Welcome to
Creative Healing Integration
A place to connect, create, heal, and learn.
Hi, I'm Mari.
I’m an artist, writer, art and trauma therapist, and teacher. Creative Healing Integration is where I share much of the work I create outside of my psychotherapy practice.
Here you’ll find workshops, continuing education, self-paced courses, books, guided meditations, and creative practices, including mandala-making.
Some are for personal exploration. Others are for art therapists and other helping professionals. All of them grow out of my curiosity about creativity, healing, and the many ways we come to know ourselves.
My clinical background informs this work, but Creative Healing Integration is an educational and creative space, separate from my psychotherapy practice
A Little About This Place
Creative Healing Integration (CHI) began as a place to find calm and ease, and that is still part of what I hope you feel when you arrive here.
An exhale.
A little room to wander.
Something interesting to discover.
Maybe a meditation to listen to, a mandala to make, a book to read, or a workshop that opens a new way of thinking.
Over time, the work here has grown and changed, just as I have.
One chapter grew from my work with the Mother Wound and the ways our earliest relationships can continue to shape us. That work found its way into my books and courses.
Another chapter has brought me more deeply into mandalas, the MARI Great Round, human development, and teaching.
And there will probably be more chapters.
I have always been interested in what happens when creativity, healing, curiosity, and learning meet.
That is really what lives here.
Explore the Work
You’ll find courses and workshops for personal growth and creative exploration, along with professional learning and continuing education for art therapists and other helping professionals.
Some are self-paced. Some happen live. Some invite you to create something. Others encourage you to listen, reflect, write, or see something from another angle.
Follow what interests you.
The Heart of CHI
I don’t think creativity always gives us answers.
Sometimes it gives us a different question.
Sometimes it gives us a little more room.
And sometimes it helps us notice something that was there all along.
I’m glad you found your way here.
