Our story
I wasn’t taught how to feel.
I was taught how to survive.
Growing up, emotions weren’t something we talked about.
Emotional regulation. Processing. Release.
They weren’t part of the conversation.
Like so many others, I carried what I didn’t know how to release until survival started to wear down everything underneath it.
It took years of unlearning, healing, and reclaiming my voice to finally see what was missing, not just in my own life, but everywhere around me:
We’re not teaching people how to sit with emotions before they become a crisis.
We’re not building access to emotional health early, where it can prevent breakdown before it takes root.
And I knew this wasn’t just my story.
This is happening across entire systems:
In schools, where creative programs are cut first, leaving students without spaces to process what’s happening inside them.
In workplaces, where people perform and push through, with no room to be fully human inside systems that reward burnout.
In healthcare, where grief, trauma, and the emotional weight of illness sit in families and patients with nowhere safe to land.
In military and veteran communities, where unspoken experiences stack up long after service has ended.
In Black, Brown, and marginalized communities, where systemic inequities have stolen access to safe, culturally-rooted healing spaces for generations.
In families, where parents raise children while still carrying emotional weight that no one ever helped them put down.
We’ve normalized waiting until people are breaking before we even begin talking about healing, when we could be building spaces that prevent the breakdown in the first place.
That’s why I created Lion & Lamb Creative:
To change where the work begins.
To create early access to emotional care, creative expression, and preventative healing, before a crisis becomes a crisis.
To meet people at the start of their emotional story, not after the damage is done.Where emotional processing isn’t left to chance.
Where healing access doesn’t come too late.
Where people are safe enough to release what they carry and strong enough to keep building forward.The cycle doesn’t have to repeat.
Together, we can build generational change.
Our Pillars
Eudcate: We teach emotional literacy, helping people understand what emotions are, how they move through the body, and how to recognize what they carry before it becomes a crisis. Our work empowers people of all ages to build emotional vocabulary, deepen self-awareness, and navigate life with greater resilience.
How we do it:
Emotional literacy workshops
Community conversations
School and workplace training
Parent & caregiver education
Digital resources and guides
Creative Expression: We use art, movement, writing, music, and storytelling as powerful tools for emotional release, healing, and self-discovery. Creative expression helps people process what can’t always be spoken, turning pain into purpose and emotion into empowerment. Research shows creativity supports emotional regulation, reduces stress, and strengthens resilience. While our spaces are not clinical therapy, they are intentionally designed to be healing. We focus on the emotional wisdom held in the body and spirit, using creativity to bring that wisdom forward.
We also support intergenerational healing through storytelling, helping individuals and families share their truths and rewrite legacies. These experiences make healing tangible, personal, and accessible to all.
How we do it:
Art-based expression workshops
Movement and somatic release sessions
Guided writing, journaling, and storytelling spaces
Community pop-up expression labs
Music and sound healing experiences
Personal narrative and family legacy projects
Community healing events & creative showcases
Community: We embed emotional health into the systems where it’s been missing for too long, schools, workplaces, hospitals, veteran programs, and community spaces. Our work is rooted in advocacy, belonging, and systems-level impact. We believe everyone deserves access to emotional wellness, regardless of background or circumstance.
How we do it:
School partnerships
Workplace wellness collaborations
Healthcare & hospital programs
VA and military family initiatives
Policy advocacy & systems-level partnerships
Community-based donations and scholarships
