Did you know that nearly 60% of people are more visually oriented than verbally? This means that for many of us, art isn’t just decoration, it’s a powerful doorway into understanding ourselves and nurturing our well-being.

While art alone may not solve life’s challenges, it can play a deeply supportive role in how we move through them. Art can reach parts of us that words simply cannot touch, offering expression, reflection and healing in ways that language often falls short.

Integrating art into our daily lives can therefore be a meaningful part of a holistic approach that embraces the full spectrum of how we see, feel and connect with ourselves and the world around us. 

Hi, I am Cora Verhagen. 

As a former Graphic Designer who also worked in health care as a creative coach for nine years, I am deeply interested in the way how art and design can contribute to make us feel more relaxed, acknowledged and energized.

Over the years, I’ve witnessed hundreds of people light up when they connect with art or when they create something with their own hands. 

Here on my website, I invite you to explore how art – mine or your own – can become a catalyst for greater joy, calm and creativity in your life:

Art for nervous system regulation:

– Experience my Mantra Meditation videos, crafted in collaboration with mantra singer Hédi Carlee
