Hi there! I am Colleen
Expressive Arts and Dance Movement Therapist,
Specializing in Women's Personal Growth
My mission is to help you unlock your inner potential, find their voice, and embark on a journey of self-discovery.
Welcome to my world
My Philosophy
I am Colleen KimiArts, an Expressive Arts and Dance Movement Therapist deeply passionate about assisting women on their journey of self-exploration, reclaiming personal power, and cultivating a profound connection with their bodies.
I firmly believe in the inherent wisdom and intuition that women possess, and my role is to create a safe and sacred space where they can fully embrace their innate power, freely explore their identities, reconnect with their inner truths, and infuse their lives with beauty.
Inner Mapping
I love utilizing the concept of inner mapping, especially in conjunction with expressive arts and dance movement therapy, as it offers a powerful avenue for exploring and comprehending one's internal landscape, emotions, thoughts, and beliefs. One of the key benefits of inner mapping is its capacity to facilitate self-awareness, personal growth, and overall well-being. By actively engaging with our inner world, we unlock valuable insights into our patterns, desires, fears, and aspirations. This process of self-reflection not only helps us identify and address areas of personal development, but also enables us to foster an inner dialogue, resolve conflicts, enhance emotional intelligence, and cultivate a profound sense of authenticity and self-compassion. Through inner mapping, supported by expressive arts and dance movement therapy, we embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

My Journey
At the Beginning, there was Arts
As far back as as I can remember, I have always dreamed. I have always created. I have always danced.
Music, Crafts, Bellydances and Fusion Dances, Photography, Visual Arts, Costume and Jewellery fabrication, Make-up, Graphic Design, Writing... My Artist's Lab has no limits!
My artistic adventure began when I was just a sprightly 6-year-old, embarking on a beautiful journey with music. At 8 I discovered my passion for the classical guitar, and that marked the beginning of a 10-year-long apprenticeship filled with joy and growth. At the tender age of 13, I discovered a magical realm where I could truly be myself. With unwavering determination, I embraced the opportunity to join dance classes. As I blossomed into womanhood, traversing the ever-changing landscape of puberty, this dance became my sanctuary, my anchor.
Today, as I reflect upon my journey, I am overwhelmed by the profound impact it has had on my relationship with my own femininity. Through the graceful movements, sensual and creative expressions of this art form, I have discovered a newfound sense of freedom—a liberation that extends beyond the boundaries of the dance floor.
University Education

Let us dance to the rhythm of our hearts, release the shackles of doubt, and embark on this grand adventure of self-discovery. Let art be our guide, our muse, and our catalyst for growth.
In 2012 I embarked on a Bachelor degree in Psychology at Paul Valery Montpellier University, seeking to understand the complexity of the psyche and its role in our well-being. I soon discovered the incredible power of spoken words in creating awareness and facilitating transformation. However, I also realized that something vital was missing—something deeply connected to my own sensitivity. I yearned to provide my clients with a space that encompassed both action and poetry, where they could actively engage in their own growth and experience the beauty of their personal journeys. I continued my studies and obtained a master's degree in Arts Therapy, specializing in dance "Création Artistique," from Paris Descartes University in 2018.
Personal Development for Women
Personal Development for Women is incredibly close to my heart. It has the power to uplift, empower, and transform us into the confident, fulfilled, and authentic women we truly are. It's all about breaking free from societal conditioning and allowing our true essence to shine.
My own healing journey as a woman began at a young age. I was fortunate to have participated in Native American ceremonies and grow up in a diverse family structure that fueled my exploration of identity. My first women's circles happened with my mom and grandma, late at night over a cup of tea. It became a cherished tradition where we talked about the "real things." Later, at 17, I joined my first year-long women's circle, shaping my approach to women's healing and teaching me about the intricate dynamics among women. These experiences hold a special place in my heart, reminding me of the power of connection and support among women. The vision of living in sisterhood has always resonated with me, but I've come to realize that it requires deconstructing deep-rooted beliefs and embracing new principles. I've also witnessed the deep disconnect many women have with their bodies, and this inspired me to delve into understanding the causes and finding ways to help them rediscover the beauty within their own perceptions.
As the years have gone by, I've continued to explore the depths of the Feminine. One significant step was becoming a Moon Mother at level 1 in October 2021, adding another layer of knowledge and insight to my journey.
Personal Development for Women is not just a passion; it's a calling for me. I believe in the incredible power of women supporting and uplifting one another. Together, we can break free from the limitations that hold us back and create a world where every woman feels truly seen, heard, and celebrated.
Our Self-Knowledge Tools
Expressive Arts and
Integrative Dance Movement Therapy
Both expressive arts and integrative dance movement therapy offer beautiful and creative avenues to explore ourselves. They provide safe spaces where we can express our feelings, tap into our inner resources, and uncover new aspects of our being. These therapeutic approaches can be incredibly enriching, supporting our personal growth, healing, and overall well-being. So, whether we're painting a picture, writing a poem, moving our bodies to music, or engaging in any form of creative expression, these therapies allow us to embark on a meaningful journey of self-discovery and self-expression.
Expressive arts therapy is a wonderful approach that combines different art forms, like painting, music, writing, and more, to help us express ourselves in unique and creative ways. It's all about using art as a tool to communicate our thoughts, emotions, and experiences, even when words may feel inadequate. Expressive arts therapy is like having a magical toolbox of artistic materials that allows us to explore, discover, and heal.
Integrative dance movement therapy. This approach recognizes the incredible connection between our bodies and emotions. It's all about expressing ourselves through movement, dance, and physicality. Integrative dance movement therapy acknowledges that the way we move and inhabit our bodies reflects our inner experiences. By working with movement, we can access and transform our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. In integrative dance movement therapy, there's no pressure to be a professional dancer or perform complex routines. It's about embracing the freedom of movement and discovering the messages our bodies hold. Through guided exercises, improvisation, and dance sequences, integrative dance movement therapy helps us enhance our body awareness, regulate our emotions, and express ourselves authentically. It can empower us, boost our self-acceptance, and bring about a sense of joy and fulfillment.
