Student Testimonial
"I've been wanting to paint for a long time now but didn't know how to get started. I still had college memories tormenting me of how horrible my still lives were, so there was a bit of mindset work that needed to happen.
Kia started the course, first things first, with mindset. Each class Kia introduced a new technique and each time I learned more about my intuitive me. You are forced not to think and just react.
I realized in this class how badly I wanted to get away from perfectionism and embrace freedom to create with no judgement. Now, all I want to do is find time to paint. Thank you Kia for introducing my intuitive self to me and guiding me to something I really needed in my life."
