Supporting empowerment, connection and harmony through expressive arts and healing offerings.
In expressive arts, we get to meet so many aspects of our humanity and being — from fears and limiting beliefs to feelings of pure magic and liberation.
Our expression gives shape and movement to the emotions, sensations, and stories we carry. From a somatic perspective, expression and presence can help us integrate experiences and process what our bodies have been holding.
Dance and expressive modalities are some of the most empowering outlets I've experienced.
Expressive arts have:
~ Supported me through painful breakups and life transitions.
~ Given me space to meet my emotions and connect with my sense of personal empowerment.
~ Felt raw, vulnerable, and brought moments when I've felt most alive.
I am humbled by the incomprehensible beauty and power of expressive arts as a teacher, friend and guide; and I am honored to share the ride with you!

Expressive Arts sessions combine artistic expression with reflective questions to support personal development. We explore the symbolism that arises throughout the entire creative process.
Sessions can help participants find meaning, insight and clarity about life experiences. We work with modalities such as painting, drawing, dance, creative writing, music, and more.
Examples of Expressive Arts practices:
"Wheel of Life" mandala drawings processing categories of life.
Movement to express contrasting emotions.
Clay sculptures to reflect a life experience.

"I was very fortunate to have a session with Sammi of Expressive Arts Coaching. There was something happening in my spiritual life that was the focus of my session. In a compassionate and nonjudgmental way Sammi supported me in deepening my understanding of how to proceed. Some weeks after the session its positive effects are still unfolding. Highly recommended!"
- Terry G.
"Sammi held amazing space for spiritual insights, awareness and self-expression through dance and art. It really helped me in the healing journey I'm on with my body and my physical health. I loved the dynamic approach that Sammi has with the different modalities. She's got meditation, visualization, dance and art. It was an awesome experience I highly recommend it."
-Tracy T.
“As someone who’s been a coach for almost 15 years now and in the healing arts for over 30 years, I’ve explored many modalities—but somatic work is relatively new to me. In just a short time, I’ve discovered how powerful it is for moving trauma and emotional pain, and working with Sammi has been a deeply transformative part of that journey. She holds such a safe, compassionate, and skillful container. Her guidance through meditation, intuitive movement, and creative expression (in my case, journaling) allowed me to access deeply buried parts of myself—especially wounded child parts that had long been holding pain. The session was profoundly cathartic and empowering. Sammi’s presence is nurturing and wise, and her ability to gently guide you through deep healing work is a true gift. I felt lighter, more connected to my sense of self-worth, and energized to move forward. I can’t recommend her enough.”
- Alessandrina D.
"Sammi is amazing, I moved so much stuck energy in my session with her and she moved me through it so beautifully! Highly recommend!"
