Iβm Josie Ane Sakura, the founder of Hearts Your Life and the creator of this 6-week Art & Wellness Program. My journey into art and wellness has been anything but linear β itβs been real, raw, and deeply personal.
In 2013, I became a 200-RYT Certified Yoga Instructor, learning the power of grounding in the present moment. Later, in 2020, I became a Certified Reiki Practitioner, understanding how energy, intention, and inner alignment influence our well-being. These practices became guiding principles in my life β but Iβm still human.
After the birth of my children, I faced mental and emotional challenges I didnβt see coming. Life felt heavy, and I found myself searching for a way back to me. Thatβs when art called me home. Art became my refuge, my release, and ultimately, my spark. Through colors, textures, and free creative flow, I rediscovered my sense of self and the power of joy in small, simple moments.
This is why I created this program β to offer others what helped me: a chance to reconnect with themselves. This isnβt about painting pretty pictures or getting things βright.β Itβs about learning to let go, explore, and come home to yourself. Each of the 6 weeks offers a different way to connect with your center, because I believe that life isnβt one-size-fits-all. We all have different paths to clarity, calm, and creativity, and I want to give you the tools to find yours.
If youβre feeling stretched thin, searching for inspiration, or just want a safe, welcoming space to explore your inner world β this program is for you. Iβve been there, and Iβm here to guide you with compassion, creativity, and a whole lot of heart.
