Hi there.

I’m Faith Helma. I’m a creator, caregiver, co-regulator, creative guide, facilitator and coach. I use creative processes to regulate my nervous system, accept change and feel my feelings every day. Sometimes I share that work, and guide others into doing their own creative somatic work.

I’ve been painting with my post-pandemic caregiver burnout for the last two years, and writing poems, and dreaming of a solo performance I’d like to make. I’ve started making blackout poems out of books I loved as a child (some of which I still love, some of which I have more complicated feelings about). All of these things are helping me process my grief and trauma.

I love to invite people in to learn with me about how to enjoy failing, how to feel our feelings, how to get into a daily creative practice and how to find out who we are in the world. Sometimes I also coach people through the creative process. I’m not currently doing this actively but you can join my email list to find out when I start again (or check out my coaching page if you’re curious about what this work looks like).

This is an emotional magical space for change. Thank you for visiting me here.

Here are some things I’ve written:

Past + future spells 

Shitty first drafts, or learning to love failure

It’s the End of the World as we know it 

Saying what you want out loud is a magic spell
