Welcome to our ARTunement Community💫
🌈ARTunement is the nourishing, creative, rejuvenating offering I’ve always wanted to experience, so I created it to share with you! ✨🌻
✨ Understanding our Neuro-sparkly Needs ✨
As empathetic and attuned neuro-sparkly professionals, we’re deeply passionate about our soul-work and hyperfocussed on giving 100% to help our clients feel nourished and understood.
Yet, we often navigate unique sensory and processing needs, alongside co-existing health conditions that can zap our energy capacity.
With such big output, we require meaningful support and self understanding to help mitigate overwhelm and burn out.
Introducing … ARTunement ~ Your neuro-affirming, personal-professional cup-filler
☕️✨🤲🏽
Who is it for?
Personal & Professional Development for Empathetic Practitioners.
ARTunement is specifically for health and wellbeing practitioners, who are sensitive, empathetic, neurodivergent, or supporting neurodivergent individuals.
This includes art therapists, counsellors, psychologists, social workers, nurses and allied health professionals seeking regular, supportive practices that refuel their soul and enhance self-awareness.
Our monthly content, delivered through a neuro-affirming lens, features therapeutic arts self-inquiry, the latest research in Autism & ADHD, and mindful nourishment for helping professionals.
To join, you must identify as a neurodivergent ally, committed to learning about advocating for neurodivergent rights and lived experiences, while prioritising your own wellbeing.
Together, we create a community of neurodivergent and non-neurodivergent professionals, dedicated to thriving for ourselves and our clients.

Meet Your Facilitator
Hi, I’m Chrissy. I’m a late-diagnosed, highly sensitive, perimenopausal, cat-loving Autistic-ADHD artist, arts therapist, and educator, with a Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice, Specialising in Arts-based Research.
I’m cis-gendered, 🏳️🌈pansexual, 🏳️⚧️inclusive, and my special interests include creative expression, self-discovery, houseplants, nature, beauty and animism.
I love to share nourishing, educational, neuro-affirming therapeutic arts experiences alongside fresh research, with sensitive and neurodivergent practitioners who, like me, have struggled to navigate their own wellbeing, while supporting others.
Welcome, to ARTunement!
What is ARTunement? An insightful Program Overview
-
✨ Monthly Creative Transformation
ARTunement is a transformative monthly online workshop series, designed to creatively support your sensitivity needs in a safe and inclusive community, while learning experiential tools to better assist your neuro-sparkly clients. #win-win!
Each month, we will gather together via zoom to explore educational therapeutic arts experiences, brimming with the latest neuro-affirming research and practices tailored to our multiverse-brain and unique processing styles.
-
🧠 Multi-Learning Accommodations
Sessions will include a balance of hands-on experiential, creative and multi-modal information formats, to keep our attention inspired and body feeling more regulated, while we learn.
Together, we will bolster our lived experience from a strengths-based approach, informed by an emergent, autoethnographic-style arts inquiry process. I will also incorporate neuro-friendly mindfulness techniques, as we discover the natural rhythm of our unique profiles, and belonging within an aligned group of passionate neuro-kin.
-
🌻 Personal & Professional Strategies
By the end of each session, you’ll have a better understanding of your unique processing in particular areas of your lived experience, feel creatively nourished, and meaningfully shed another layer of ‘shoulds’, by authentically discovering who you truly are, within your sparkly skin.
As a bonus, you’ll also experience a variety of neuro-affirming approaches that can be easily adapted to your work with own clients. Nourishment in, nourishment out!

In their own words: Why members 💖 ARTunement
-
![]()
Carving out time for Artunement felt like another 'thing' to do amidst my full and busy schedule. Yet, my tired body, mind and heart were yearning for some nurturing!
Once I entered the welcoming, safe, gentle & nurturing space with other beautiful people in the same tired boat as me I felt my whole body sigh out in relief ... aaaahhhhhh! Time just for me!
Chrissy's holds space with such grace, integrity and care that is responsive to the group's needs. I can feel how much thought and conscious choice has been lovingly poured into curating each session!
Chocka full of cognitive concepts to chew on as well as spaciousness to integrate the learning into my body, heart and soul as a person first, then as a practitioner. Ahhhhhhh!

Chrissy creates the most beautiful space that is truly neuro affirming. Each session is thoughtfully planned, with many resources and experiential activities.
Thank you Chrissy for this heart-felt professional development space that offers nourishment on both personal and professional levels. I look forward to it every month.

FAQ’s
-
No. Whether you are officially diagnosed, self-diagnosed or are a highly empathetic professional, you are welcome here!
-
We welcome professional allies in our group, open to learning alongside us! However please be aware, that neuro-spicy folk have our own way of socialising and communication, which may appear different to Westernised, social norms. This is a friendly space, so feel free to ask questions as we go. I also recommend researching Milton’s theory of ‘double empathy’ for more information about autistic-to-non-autistic communication.
-
As a naturally caring and empathetic wellbeing professional, you will learn SO much about neuro-affirming practice that you can bring to both your clients and your child. If you have specific questions, feel free to contact me.
-
No. This is a safe and welcoming space for anyone who identifies as having lived experience as a woman, inclusive of AFAB (Assigned female at birth) and trans women / rainbow folk 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈, fostering an environment where our community feels secure to share their experiences and perspectives.
-
Absolutely! Just as you don’t need to be an olympian to swim, you don’t need to be an artist to engage in the arts! I have been a teacher and artist for almost 30 years, and I have a myriad of ways to share creativity in a way that is open, fun, gentle and accessible. The arts are a wonderful human experience, available to everyone.
-

Yes.
Important Note👇
While I recognise the significant overlap between high empathy, neurodivergence and trauma, this is not an art therapy group focused on trauma processing, or a substitute for professional therapy.
Instead, ARTunement offers proactive strategies and guided educational experiences that blend personal and professional development, in a neuro-affirming manner.
As a participant, it is essential to hold yourself with self-care and self-soothing strategies, and take time out whenever you need during the live workshop, as I am unable to provide individual therapeutic support during group experiences.
If you sign up for ARTunement and find that you are not within your capacity on the day, please prioritise your needs, and consider accessing the workshop recording.
For those needing support with acute or complex trauma, I recommend seeking a neuro-affirming trained therapist for individualised support 💫
