“Creativity can be the window of your heart, the voice of your deepest soul, where no words exist. Whatever you create, whoever inspires you, wherever it comes from, whenever it happens — that is MAGIC and POWER… coming from within you.” — Benett Hernandez

 

As the founder, I have personally experienced the transformative and life-changing power of creativity and mindfulness. After enduring the heartbreaking loss of all four of my pregnancies and being left with empty arms, I found myself physically, emotionally, and spiritually broken.

 

Each loss brought overwhelming pain, waves of sorrow, and a depth of grief that at times felt insurmountable. I was totally heartbroken. During those devastating moments, I questioned my faith and my purpose in life. I felt lost. In the abyss of pain, I cried and cried, shed so much tears until my tears ran dry. Then came the silence... long, and gentle. In that stillness, I began to reflect, to soul search, and slowly, I embraced the long journey towards holistic healing. 

 

Despite these challenges, I refused to allow my past or my darkest moments to define me. Instead, I chose to transform my pain into a source of strength and light.  In the midst of my sorrow, I remained grateful for what I still had — the gift of life, my unwavering faith, my creativity, and the unconditional love and support of my husband, family, and true friends who helped carry me through my darkest days.

 

I made a decision to make the rest of my life to be the best of my life.

I began focusing on my holistic wellbeing, engaging in activities that brought me joy and exploring my hidden creativity. Whether through gardening, arts and craft making, photography, cooking and baking, cake decorating, or thoughtfully creating beautiful and welcoming spaces, each act became an expression of transformation and renewal. I tried to piece myself back together. Every seed I planted, every brushstroke, every written word, every creative activity became a part of my healing. My creativity became more than just an outlet—it’s the mirror of my inner world, the voice of my soul, a celebration of love, grief, healing, growth, and transformation.

 

Along my healing journey, my creativity reawakened.

My body, heart, mind, and spirit slowly began to heal.

My loss became my inspiration.

I found my voice from within, again.

And with it came a deeper and more meaningful sense of purpose.

 

Following this profound personal transformation, I pursued my calling and completed a MBEd Diploma in Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy, qualifying as a Holistic Creative Arts Practitioner. I embrace this role with dedication, compassion, and a strong sense of purpose.

I humbly call myself “The Creative HEARTist,” a name that reflects my belief that creativity guided by the heart can support healing, connection, and personal growth.

 

Through my own experiences of loss, healing, self-discovery, and transformation, I developed a deep appreciation for the power of creative expression in supporting holistic wellbeing.

Driven by a deep desire to uplift and empower others, I share my story and my creative gifts in the hope of making a meaningful difference in this world —

one day at a time,

one person at a time,

one story at a time,

one creative moment at a time.

Whether through intuitive art-making, journaling, mindful terrarium-making\, storytelling, creative high tea gatherings, music, creative visualisation, or simply sharing moments of kindness and connection, I believe wholeheartedly in the transformative power of creativity and mindfulness to support physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.

 

Today, I facilitate holistic and therapeutic creative wellness workshops that invite individuals to explore creativity as a pathway to reflection, resilience, and personal growth.

These workshops not only continue to nurture my own journey but also represent my heartfelt commitment to contributing meaningfully to the wellbeing of the wider community.

 

This is more than just creative wellness workshops.

This is the unfolding of my heart’s journey.

It is my faith.

My gratitude.

My love and passion.

My belief in gentle transformation.

My commitment to holding safe and compassionate spaces where others can express their authentic inner voices.

This is my heart and soul’s work — a calling to serve, to empower, and to create meaningful change through creativity and mindfulness.
