Liv’s School Workshops

The aim is to inspire students to become the best version of themselves by sharing my

story and passing on my lived experience and learnt life skills. With my unique creative approach students & staff can add value to their wellbeing and enhance the ability to get the most out of their time at school.

Each workshop will inspire, educate and empower both students and staff to harness more self awareness and emotional resilience in their everyday lives. By sharing my story and delivering a creative and interactive workshop all students will learn a number of valuable life skills, including working as a team, overcoming challenges, and how to unleash their full potential.

1 - CREATE YOUR FUTURE SELF

The overriding theme of this workshop is self awareness.

Talking points include:

• Gratitude

2 - CREATE CONTENTMENT

Classroom creative session

This is an ART CLASS WITH A UNIQUE FOCUS ON LIFE SKILLS (can be a stand-alone class or term long creative option for selected students).

I work with specific students who may benefit from extra time, creatively exploring big life themes in a safe and fun environment.

These sessions use art as the main way to explore topics such as: confidence, self identity, emotional regulation, goal setting and kindness.

Please note that whilst my classes are not traditional art classes, I ensure that I teach professional art techniques in conjunction with art therapy methods in order to provide the most tailored psychological benefits for each individual.

Cost $475 per session

• Discount for term booking

• School to provide basic equipment (paper/pens)

3 - PAINTING A LIFE STORY

Sharing my story - full school assembly presentation

Before starting my life in Australia, I overcame anorexia and a decade of poor mental health. I have been fortunate enough to work as a wellness specialist for high profile clients, been the primary remedial sports massage therapist for international sports teams, competed at state level in several sports and have established my own ART/ART therapy business here in Australia. I have done all this despite my own personal struggles with dyslexia and as previously mentioned, mental health conditions in my younger years.

I believe that sharing my story & discussing helpful life skills with students, in the school environment, in an engaging, inspiring and age-appropriate manner can go a huge way towards making their school and home lives more manageable.

I know that there is tremendous power in being a living example of an individual that has overcome extreme challenges in order to create a life that I love.

My most challenging period of life was during my school years so I can appreciate the struggles of navigating these difficult years through adolescence.

My ability, training and experience mean that I am equipped to offer encouragement and inspiration for your students as they transition into the next phase of their lives and ultimately adulthood.

Cost $375

As an artist she expresses the sunshine that fills her heart. As an advocate for mental health, she has a natural ability to include all people of all ages into a journey of building self worth and confidence.

Her energy for self improvement and self growth is reflected in all the projects she takes on. She has and continues making an impact in peoples life and this is one of the rarest gifts a person can build as a legacy!”
