What I do

When life changes, words aren't always enough

Therapeutic arts use creativity as a tool for processing emotion, restoring clarity, and rebuilding self-trust, especially during times of transition.
This work is:
 • hands-on, not talk-heavy
 • grounding, not overwhelming
 • supportive without trying to fix you

You don’t need to be “good at art.”
You just need a willingness to show up as you are.

I created this work because I know what it feels like to:
 • lose yourself during seasons of burnout or grief
 • carry emotions that don’t have language yet
 • need support without being analyzed or “fixed”

My role isn’t to tell you who to be.
It’s to facilitate spaces where clarity, strength, and self-trust can return, at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

You are always met exactly as you are.

I’m the founder of Blood & Honey Collective and a therapeutic arts practitioner based in Nova Scotia.

Hi, I'm Raelynn

- Melora

The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, and it felt so good to be able to just open my heart and let the creativity pour out. Raelynn is a fantastic facilitator who allows you to be yourself and guides the session in a natural and easygoing way. I found myself looking forward to our workshop night each week and really ruminating on the affirmations I chose and why they were important to me. There was zero pressure to be perfect and we were able to share lots of stories and laughs along the way. I would definitely recommend any of Raelynn’s workshops and can’t wait to see what she has planned in the future!

The Affirmation Deck workshop I attended was 

incredible!!!

 that made me feel completely at ease. I loved the variety of materials she provided during the sessions—it gave me the freedom to explore in ways that felt right for me. She’s also so easy to work with for 1:1 bookings and genuinely cares about making sure you’re happy with the activity and experience.

Raelynn creates such a 

atmosphere

Calm & Safe

- Rage. Release. Rebirth. Participant

and because I’ve always loved creative outlets. I didn’t know what to expect and felt awkward at first, but once I picked up the hammer and smashed that first block, something opened up. The note inside hit me hard and brought out emotions I didn’t realize I was holding. Afterward, I felt more relaxed, more at peace. I didn’t feel any judgment, except from myself, and the process reminded me how important creative spaces like this are. I learned that I need more of them, more ways to let things go through art. The space felt grounded and soft, and Raelynn guided just enough while letting us find our own way.

I joined because I needed to get rid of some 

Stagnant Energy

- Melora

but also at how overwhelming the world feels. Ripping up negative thoughts, punching clay, and turning all of it into something beautiful was exactly what I needed. I hadn’t realized how much tension I was holding until I started to breathe again. The experience was deeply cathartic; for a moment, all the noise in my head was quiet. I left lighter and more patient with myself, with this realization that it’s okay to be angry and that I don’t always have to be the calm one. The space was free, grounded, and understanding, and I loved how unstructured it was; we were able to just let us do what felt right for ourselves.

I came in with a lot of anger, guilt, and shame 

Mostly with myself

- Anonymous

I arrived with this constant low simmering rage, part of it personal, part of it just the world. I was fired up, ready to release it. Punching my wet canvas full of the things that make me angry was incredibly satisfying; I could feel myself getting calmer with every rip, punch, and squish. By the end, I felt completely free. I felt like I’d met my true self again. The whole atmosphere was grounded and safe, yet cathartic and freeing at the same time. It reminded me I need to make space for all my emotions, not just the ones that feel comfortable. It was such a good, safe way to break something and let it all out.

I was fired up, ready to 

Release it

- Beau

My mom surprised me with the workshop, and at first I didn’t know what to do. But once I understood, I got excited to express myself. Smashing the brick and punching the clay helped me let out so much. I felt different afterward, lighter, more like myself. It was fun and freeing, and I felt like I could be fully me without judgment. The space was grounded, alive, and safe, and Raelynn’s energy made it easy to relax. It honestly felt perfect.

I felt different afterward, lighter,

Blood & Honey Is For

• Women in periods of transition
• Mothers rediscovering themselves
• Creatives craving direction or inspiration
• Anyone feeling stuck, unseen, or disconnected
• Those seeking emotional support through artistic expression

You don’t need to be “ready.”
You just need to be honest about where you are.

A Note From Me...

Blood & Honey exists because I know what it feels like to lose pieces of yourself during seasons of change and how difficult it can be to find your way back without pressure, judgment, or being told who you should become.

When I hold space, I do so with:
 • steadiness
 • clarity
 • compassion
 • and respect for your autonomy

My role isn’t to lead you somewhere specific.
It’s to help you reconnect with your own strength, voice, and inner direction that's at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

You are always met exactly as you are.
