Creating from the chaos—art, stories, and soul.

A neurodivergent-affirming space for creative caregivers, 2e families, and late-diagnosed parents.

“Little Dragon Learns to Wait” is the first in an 8-book children’s picture book series focused on social-emotional learning and gentle parenting.

These stories were written by a late-diagnosed neurodivergent mom of two 2e kids — who also happens to be a special education teacher.

The heart of this community is rooted in fierce advocacy and gentle care — the balance every Mama Dragon must hold.

Here at Creativity Heals, that Mama Dragon spirit lives on.
It shows up in our parenting scripts, our printable tools, our monthly calls, and our belief that we all deserve a safe space to feel, create, and connect.
