The Good Space with Francesca Phillips
Education:Self-Improvement
Author of How to Meditate with Inky Pathways, Natasha Olaniyan, is a therapeutic artist and life coach. With a lifelong interest in the mind, body, and spirit, she supports the well-being of others by combining a wide variety of natural healing methods and spiritual practices with art.
Natasha brings a unique perspective and valuable insights to using art as therapy following her own experience of becoming critically ill after the birth of her second child. She also suffered from PTSD and struggled with coherent speech for a long time.
Inky Pathways is a therapeutic art book combining art and meditation's benefits. It features an immersive process that helps readers clear their minds, silence their inner critic, and alleviate stress and anxiety. What’s great is no art skills are required. It’s an art form that isn’t rushed or forced but explored and observed. They are serving as the ideal creative starting point to relax and quieten the mind.

QUOTES
“Creativity doesn’t have to be that traditional paintbrush…You don’t have to do creativity for a purpose. It doesn’t have to be gift that you are going to give somebody. It doesn’t have to look good. It is just freedom to explore something that you might enjoy.” - Natasha Olaniyan
