THERAPEUTIC BODY PAINTING

Therapeutic Body Painting is an immersive, embodied experience that blends movement, creativity, and therapeutic support in a safe, professionally held environment. Sessions are flexible in length and can be enjoyed solo or as a duet, with carefully curated music/sound to support mood, expression, and flow.

Wearing protective body suits and using skin-safe paints, participants are invited to explore sensation, play, and self-expression without the need for words or artistic skill.

Each session is gently supervised by trained facilitators, offering attuned support whether the experience is approached purely for fun, curiosity, and creative exploration, or as a deeper form of therapeutic support. For those who wish, the process can also be sensitively documented, creating memorable photographic footage to reflect on and keep.

Rooted in care, creativity, and ethical practice, these sessions offer a joyful and meaningful pathway to embodied wellbeing.

Exploratory

Therapeutic Body Painting offers a gentle, nonverbal way to explore sensation, emotion, and identity through movement, colour and touch. By engaging the whole body in creative play, participants can safely experiment with boundaries, curiosity, and self-expression, discovering new ways of relating to themselves and others without pressure to explain or perform.

Releasing

The physicality of painting with the body supports emotional and somatic release, allowing held tension, feelings, or unexpressed experiences to move and transform. The combination of movement, texture, and rhythm can help release stress, unblock emotion, and create a sense of lightness and relief.

Regulating

Through supported facilitation, music, and rhythmic movement, this practice helps regulate the nervous system. Sensory engagement and choice-based pacing can foster grounding, safety, and balance, supporting participants to settle, reconnect, and restore a sense of inner stability.

Developmental

Body Painting can support personal growth by strengthening body awareness, confidence, and self-acceptance. It encourages playful learning, creative risk-taking, and embodied insight, offering opportunities for integration, resilience, and ongoing emotional development.

All followed by a refreshing shower!
