Inner Active

I’m Tash, an artist, student art therapist, and creativity coach passionate about helping people reconnect with their creative selves. My journey began as a mechanic, where I learned the beauty of hands-on problem solving and flow. Over time, I discovered that same energy in art — the presence, curiosity, and freedom that comes when we create without judgment.A pivotal moment for me was realizing how deeply creativity supports mental and emotional wellbeing. Through my own healing journey, I saw that art isn’t about making something “good” — it’s about feeling more whole. That realization inspired me to study art therapy and dedicate my work to helping others rediscover their innate creativity.I love teaching because I get to watch people light up when they surprise themselves — when they move from self-doubt to play, from control to flow. My workshops are intentionally gentle and welcoming, offering space for reflection, connection, and joy.Alongside my art therapy studies, I draw from psychology, human behaviour, and holistic wellness to create experiences that are both grounding and liberating. Whether someone joins for self-care, curiosity, or community, my goal is always the same: to help them remember that creativity is not a skill — it’s a way of being.
