Calm Mama {eCourse}

:: Calm Mama eCourse ::

Do you often struggle with your thoughts running 5 miles ahead of you when you finally get a minute to relax? 

Do you have trouble viewing yourself as “creative” and partaking in any activity that requires you to draw or paint?

Do you just wanna FEEL more CALM and have more energy when handling all the mommy responsibilities that fill your day?

If you are saying, YES!, to these questions, then you’re in the right place.

And, if you ALWAYS tell yourself, “I’m NOT creative!” then you’re REALLY in the right place.

First, this course is NOT…

❀ going to teach you how to draw professionally.
❀ going to teach you how to sell your drawings.
❀ going to teach you the rules of drawing.
❀ going to teach you the rules of art.
❀ going to teach you how to become a professional painter or artist.
❀ going to teach you the rules of photography or how to become a professional photographer.

 

This course DOES include ALL 3 week, do-it-yourself, Create Calm with Doodles, Paints and Photos eMail courses.  But, there’s SO much more added ~ 3 NEW photography sessions and 6 BRAND NEW self-care sessions and you receive high quality, high content daily, instead of spread out every other day, to keep your inspiration flowing.  

 

This course IS going to teach you…

❀ how and why left and right brain activities need to be equally balanced on a daily basis.

This 6-week course includes:

Here’s how it’s gonna go down…

Week 1:  Calm Your Overwhelmed Thoughts

Week 2:  Creatively Nourish Yourself Calm
In the second week, we look at how doing mindless-creative activity helps you to become more aware of your thoughts.  Mainly, you’ll start to become more aware of your left and right brain thoughts.

❀ All course materials are emailed straight to your inbox over a period of 6 weeks.  There are no deadlines or timelines, so no worries if you can’t get to it all.  This is basically a tool kit that you’ll ALWAYS have to look back on to help YOU create more CALM in your life.  So I always suggest to just pick and choose what calls out to you during the course, because there’s LOTS of content and it may seem overwhelming, but again, it’s your own personal CREATE CALM TOOLKIT that will last a lifetime.  :)

FAQ

Why should I take this 6 week eCourse and not the the separate 3 week eMail courses that you offer?

What’s great about this eCourse is that you get more high content in a faster pace. This course is perfect for the person who would rather get the information on a daily basis, then wait for one session over an entire week.  Also, this course is offered at a higher price range, which means, you’re getting twice as much information in one course, than you would when you take the eMail courses.  My eMail courses discuss content in a separate way – meaning each course focus only on one subject, for this course, you’re getting all my subjects (doodling, painting, photography, self-care) all throughout each week.  So you’re calming inspiration is given to you on a daily basis, rather than spread out every other day.  This course is great if you need accountability and want inspiration on a daily basis.  

I’ve taken your 3 week eMail courses, can I still take this course even though some of the content is repeated? 

Of course! Even if you’ve already taken my eMail courses, having some of the lessons again is GREAT because you’ll pick up on something that you may have missed the first round.  And, what’s even better is that you get more of my guidance and you get all the subjects in one place – so each day of the week you get doodle, painting, photography and self-care inspiration that you get to pick and choose from, instead of just one subject at time.  

There are lots of creative e-mail courses out there.  What makes this course unique?

This course is intended to use creativity as way to feel more calm.  It’s not intended to teach you “art” or “creative” rules.  It requires minimal supplies and very little trying-to-figure-it-out thoughts.  It’s intended to relax you, not frustrate you.  It’s really just BEing a kid again…coloring without any critical, judgmental or perfectionism thoughts.  It’s literally like going to yoga or a mediation class, but instead of closing your eyes and calming your thoughts, you’re calming your thoughts with hands-on coloring activities that are so easy that a Kindergartner could them.

Do I need to have an artist background to take this course?

Absolutely not!  This is a course that helps reconnect you with her inner-creative child again.  You know, the one that scribbled in Kindergarten?  We all were scribbling once…and that’s the only skills you need for this course.

Do I need to have fancy art materials for this course?

Nope!  Do you have kids?  If so, you can use their crayons and their paper.  Even if you do or don’t have kids, really, all you need is paper and a pen or pencil.  I use crayons and colored pencils, but they’re not mandatory.  I provide you with all the information on the supplies being used for the course, and they don’t cost much at all.   So, here’s what you’ll need: crayons, colored pencils or a pen/pencil, drawing paper, or if you want to use what I use, an art journal.  It all depends on what works best for you.

Oh, and you’ll need a computer, a printer (not mandatory) and an email account so you can read and print the email lessons.

Do I need to have a photography background and have a fancy camera to take this course?

Absolutely not! This is a course where we’re using our cameras to slow down.  There’s no grading, critiquing or judgments allowed.  It’s just you using your camera in a new way…a way that just requires you to snap pictures in a way that FEELS GOOD to you, no matter what camera you have.  You can use your cell phone camera, DSLR, point and shoot or even your ipod camera (which I even use for this course!).

This course is a 6 week  eCourse. What does that mean? 

It means that once you sign up, you’ll begin to receive the lessons in your email inbox automatically over a period of 6 weeks.  All the lessons are easy to understand and visually stunning.  They’re set up to feel like you are taking the class live with me.  It’s an eCourse, so you get to read the material when you get a moment and you can do any of the activities that call out to you when your schedule opens up.  There’s no timelines or deadlines, just a course that will inspire you to create more calm for a period of 6 weeks.  And, you get more of ME to help guide you. I want to support you in any way that I can.

I’m SO busy taking care of my kids and family and I want to take this course, but I’m afraid that I won’t have the time.  Should I still take it?

Of course!  What’s great about this course is that it’s given to you in your email inbox, meaning, you can read the emails whenever you get time.  There’s no time limit with the activities.  I know life gets in the way, so the lessons will be there for you when your schedule allows.  The activities don’t have to be done all at once.  You can start it (because even 5 minutes will help) and continue on with it when your schedule opens up.  Really, just giving yourself 5 minutes a day to do these simple and easy activities will provide many positive benefits to your life.  Even the littlest things you do in the course will help you be a calmer mama.

How are you qualified to teach this course?

This is a GREAT question.  I’ve had the most profound journey leading me here.  You can read more about my story here.  But, since becoming a mom, I now know how important it is to stay connected to my inner creative child and to BE calm throughout my busy mama filled days.

I’m a Certified Creatively Fit and Holistic Health Coach who taught Elementary school after receiving a Journalism degree.

I talk my walk, meaning, everything I teach is EXACTLY what I do to help create calm in my busy mama life.  I don’t teaching anything I haven’t done before.  I only share what worked for me.

Everything I’ve done and learned to this day as brought me the tips, tools and strategies that I’m teaching in this course.  And, believe me, I’m still learning.

But, I’m happy to say, that I have the tools now to not stay stuck in overwhelm and stress.   In which I share with you in this course.

How will I FEEL after taking this course?

❀ Calm
❀ Happy
❀ Creative
❀ Energized
❀ Uplifted
❀ Rejuvenated
❀ Balanced
❀ Giddy
❀ Excited
❀ Calm (oh, did I say that one already? Hehe!)

Do you give feedback/critiques on the activities?

Nope! This isn’t an art class.  So I don’t give any rules, critiques or ways to make your work better.  This is a class that I do guide and give examples, but it’s all about you using your own creative juices and letting them blossom.  It’s a safe place for you to reconnect with your creativity, because you ARE creative!  And, I know first hand, that with all the mama responsibilities that are under our plates, there’s NO time for another added to-do.  So this course is really like going to spa…just sit back, relax and connect with color.
