Your daily dose of Vitamin C(creativity)
Make Art | Reduce Your Stress
Stress reduction and a boost of Vitamin C(creativity) all at the same time in our step-by-step Creativity Rx program!
No Art Experience Necessary
Creativity Rx (prescription) is a simple, art-based approach to reconnecting with your joy.
Even as adults we crave play and creativity.
Unfortunately, many mindfulness practices don’t stick simply because they aren’t fun!
Seated meditation, journaling, breathwork apps, and mindfulness reminders – all amazing if they stick. But for many people they just don’t.
And guess what?
Play, fun, and reconnecting with our creative outlets also drops our stress level, calms our nervous system, and gives us similar benefits to all those mindfulness practices!
So, let’s approach mindfulness differently.
- Make it Easy: Creativity Rx gives you the support and guidance needed to get started and stay motivated on your art-based mindfulness journey.
- Make it Fun: Sitting still and focusing on your breath isn’t the only way. Sometimes your body craves a more active, fun, creative way to reconnect with your calm and truly feel present.
- Make it Repeatable: Life gets busy, and fitting in another thing can feel impossible. Making a creative mindset practice easy and quick makes it attainable and repeatable!
Making a mindset practice easy, fun, and repeatable makes it stick.
There is a fun way to do this!
A way that rekindles your creativity and helps you feel calm and centered, even amidst the daily chaos.
That’s why I’m excited to introduce you to…

You Might Be Wondering…
I’m not an artist or even all that creative. Will I still be able to participate?
Absolutely! I hear this all the time. Many people think they need to be a Picasso to benefit from creative activities. But the truth is, Creative Rx isn’t about achieving artistic perfection; it’s about using creativity as a tool for mindfulness and stress reduction.
Creative Rx provides beginner-friendly exercises designed to spark that inner artist, regardless of experience. The focus is on the process of creating, exploring your feelings, and enjoying the moment, not the final product.
So don’t worry about your artistic skills (or lack thereof)! Creative Rx is a welcoming space for everyone to explore their creativity and experience the benefits of mindfulness.
Is this program for beginners? I haven’t done any art in years.
I get it; sometimes life gets busy, and those art supplies get pushed aside. Creative Rx is designed for everyone, from beginners to those who want to rediscover their creative spark after a long hiatus.
No prior experience is necessary! I’ll guide you step-by-step through mindfulness techniques and art-based activities that are accessible and enjoyable for all skill levels. Think of it as a chance to dust off those old crayons (or explore new mediums!), reconnect with your playful side, and find a fun way to de-stress and unleash your inner artist.
What do I need to get started with Creative Rx?
Don’t let the thought of buying a whole new set of art supplies be intimidating. I got you!
I’ll provide a list of basic materials you can likely find around your house, like pencils, crayons, or even some printer paper. The focus is on the creative process, not fancy supplies. You can always add to your collection as you progress and discover your artistic preferences.
I’ve already tried other mindfulness programs. How do I know this will be different for me?
That’s great that you’ve explored mindfulness before! I understand that different approaches work for different people.
Creative Rx takes a unique approach by combining mindfulness techniques with engaging art-based activities. This allows you to access the present moment and spark creativity in a way that might feel more fun, engaging, and less intimidating than traditional practices. Think of it as a fresh take on mindfulness that taps into your creative side and helps you connect with yourself on a deeper level.
What if I don’t have a lot of time? Is there a set schedule, or can I participate at my own pace?
I completely understand! Life can be hectic, and fitting in “me-time” can feel like a luxury.
Creative Rx is designed with busy lives in mind! I offer bite-sized exercises that can fit into even the most demanding schedules. Most activities take less than 15 minutes, allowing you to reap the benefits of mindfulness and creativity in short bursts. There’s no set schedule – you can participate at your own pace whenever it works best for you. Think of it as little pockets of self-care that you can weave into your day, even on the go!

So, Who’s the Artist Behind Your Creative Mindfulness Journey?
That’s me! I’m Dr. Emily Livengood, but you can call me Emily.
Like many of us, I juggle a lot – naturopathic doctor, artist, mom, the whole shebang.
For a while there, I was the poster child for burnout. Ever feel like you’re constantly trying to do it all, missing out on what truly matters? Yeah, that was me!
Stressed, overwhelmed, and prioritizing what everyone else thought was important, not what truly fueled my soul.
Art has always been my happy place, a constant companion even amidst the whirlwind. Maybe you can relate – those moments of losing yourself in a creative flow, the world fading away as you get lost in your sketch book.
For me, it wasn’t always a conscious act of stress relief, but looking back, I realize how art has quietly served as a soothing balm for my soul.
My paints, pastels, and pencils became the tools I instinctively reached for when the world felt overwhelming. They were a way to calm my nervous system and refocus my priorities almost without thinking.

My viewpoint on mindfulness is unique.
I get that! And this approach is all about building a repeatable, art-based practice that you can incorporate into your long-term schedule.
