Hi there
Thanks for landing here!
I am Karina, a Transpersonal Art Therapist, Intentional Creativity Teacher and Dru Yoga Teacher. I am also the founder of Creative Balance Therapies. My creative workshops and classes support people to build inner strength and resilience and promote personal growth and healing.
With over 25 years of experience, including many years working in mental health, I am passionate about offering intuitive art and yoga as medicine for the soul.
I work with people of all ages and all abilities, and I specialise in supporting people to embrace their inner Creatrix archetype, to use their creativity to open up to a life of authenticity and to uncover the inner jewels of their heart. My teachings present an opportunity for people to intentionally embrace a creative life for inner fulfilment and soul restoration.
I live on the Mid North Coast of NSW with my partner Ali.
Creative Balance Therapies offers individual therapy, classes and workshops, online and in person.
About our art.....
The artwork we create is not really for showing the outside world (unless you want to)... its for you. It is healing and it helps us move through our blockages, shift perspective, challenge outdated beliefs, wipe the slate clean and start anew.
Our artwork allows us to explore ourselves, our creativity, and gives us a springboard into the world of how we want to show up authentically.....Its not about the end painting... its about the journey that gets us there.
The skills involved or needed to be an artist is something that you develop, and nurture, and give time to so you can make your creativity more enjoyable, but skill is not what is necessary. Give yourself permission to create 1000 crappy pieces of art.... but find the vein of gold, the learning edge, the breakthrough that you need in each painting.
Becoming the artist of your own life allows you to write the story, your own story, and gives you permission to unfold inner jewels along the way.
About our yoga.....
Practicing yoga is about learning to be with oneself, witnessing ones growth and limitations, honoring where we are at physically and spiritually.... learning to come home.
Finding the still point in our practice, and in our lives, allows us to be whole, mindful and connected to spirit.
What is the still point in your practice? Is it in the posture, the meditation, the acts of daily life.
Would you like more stillness in your day?
Try the simple and easy to do breathing practice below....
Breathe in through your nose slowly, and breathe slowly out through your mouth. ...emptying out effortlessly...
Come home to yourself every day, that's where you will find peace.

What is Art Therapy?
Art Therapy takes you beyond the conscious mind to discover the magic healing power that creativity can provide.
Practicing art enhances brain function by impacting brainwave patterns and emotions and also has a positive effect on the the nervous system, thus reducing anxiety. Evidence suggests that art has the ability to re-wire the brain to be more resilient and calm, less fearful, less anxious and can actually raise serotonin levels. Art can change a persons outlook and the way they experience the world.
The world needs more art and creativity. Start your journey today

Karina's workshop, Awakening Artemis, was exactly what I needed at this time in my life. I felt in safe hands and in no way pressured at any time. If and when Karina runs another workshop I would like to attend. I have no hesitation in recommending Karina and her workshops to others.......................Christine, Laurieton NSW
I loved this awesome class which revealed some important information for my soul. Karina's work is awesome.
I initially felt embarrassed about my art work but she reminded me my inner critic was at work. When I was able to get past that I felt happy with my owl work and my learning.
This is so much more than learning to paint. It is healing for the soul.
Thank you soooo much Karina .......
