Calling all women, navigating the challenge of illness,
who are ready for a creative path to loving yourself and your life,
whether your illness disappears or stays for a lifetime.
Introducing a Creative Wellness Program that guides you to move beyond suffering to a place of emotional freedom, spiritual connection, mental clarity, and expansive creativity, where you become the Creator of a life you love.
Are you dissatisfied with your life, wishing your illness would go away so you could focus on creating something more positive and exciting?
Are you ready to move beyond your suffering and discover the freedom of living a life you love, even if your illness sticks around?
Do you feel you are a creative, spiritual, heart-centered woman BUT you are currently feeling constricted and disconnected from your own inner capacities?
Would you feel excited knowing that the path to loving your life is colorfully paved with expressive arts—collage, painting, poetry, journaling, mask-making, drama, movement, music, singing, clay, sandtray, and play—all crafted skillfully into the experience you need to move forward on your path of Creative Wellness?
Believe me, I get it!
"I, too, have walked the path from Illness to Creative Wellness."
I’m Jessica Chilton, Expressive Arts Therapist, Consultant, and Educator, and I have compassion for how you feel, because, beyond working with women with illness, I also have journeyed the path from Illness to Creative Wellness myself. Ten years ago I was consumed by the challenges of my illness; today I am thriving in my Creative Wellness—loving myself and loving my life, accepting my illness as part of my wholeness. I extend a warm personal welcome to you and with open heart invite you to know you are in the right place. Welcome to our community!
Where do you see yourself in this Illness Story? 10 Years ago, this was me.
An unexpected illness is not a welcome guest. When it arrives, we are often not ready to accept its presence. It interferes with our joy and our dreams. We do not feel at peace; rather, we begin to struggle with and resist our illness, our body, our whole self, and our life.
Naturally, we want to know why it knocked on our door. Why us? Why now? And, most importantly, when will this unwelcome guest be leaving? We desperately want to understand the root cause and do anything to find the cure. But in the confusing maze of medical choices, promises of cures, and money-spending, we have lost touch with our own inner guidance.
It is easy to let our mind drift to negative thoughts, blaming ourselves and others for causing this illness and not being able to cure it. We feel betrayed even by our higher power, wanting to scream, “Why have you put this on my path?!” Suddenly our body seems to be an enemy. And on our worst days, self-hatred has taken center-stage on our inner battleground.
With all of this anger, sadness, and fear, swirling inside, we feel isolated, misunderstood, and alone. Most people see only our façade and have no idea what we are going through. Others, who do know, swing the other direction, seeing us only through a lens of illness. We long to break free from this ‘sick’ box they keep us in.
When we think about our illness worsening in the future, anxiety immediately arises. Will we become dependent—a burden? Will we become unlovable and unattractive? What if we lose all our money to health expenses? Is life worth living if it is always going to be painful?
Sometimes hopelessness sets in and all our dreams seem impossible. Our current experience of life is far from the wonderful life we once envisioned. We long to escape this emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical pain. We long for this unwelcome guest to leave.
And if it does leave, we are so ready to make the most of our life, appreciate every moment, and do an eternal happy dance…but only when our illness goes away.
What if you don’t have to become the ‘Cure Covergirl’, on the front page of your own “Healing Success Story: The Miraculous Vanishing Illness” autobiography, that sells a trillion copies and makes you millions, in order to love yourself and your life?
The realization that we can live our best life, and have an illness, really liberates us. This discovery emerges from our emotional healing, spiritual connection, expansive creativity, and mental clarity. And with this inner-work comes great benefits—a daily reality founded on self-acceptance, love, creativity, freedom, spiritual connection and wholeness—a way of being in the world that I call ‘Creative Wellness’.

“Two years ago I was diagnosed with Adrenal Fatigue – but never truly wrapped my head around it all. With Jessica’s affirming guidance, I have moved beyond so many fears and old limitations to a place of peaceful self-acceptance. I have re-discovered my joy, my purpose and my ability to let my true self shine!
Jessica’s creative wellness approach motivated me to not only pick up a guitar, but also have the guts to create my own songs and have the courage to sing them to others. These songs bring energy, confidence and healing into my life!
Who knows when my Adrenal Fatigue will go away? What I do know is that I love my life now.” ~ Trish Brown
“As soon as I heard Jessica speak about living your best life whether your illness stays or goes away, I knew I wanted to work with her. I was over-committed, unfocused, and scrambling to juggle everything, including an unexpected illness.
Since working with Jessica, I’ve been practicing so many new wellness and life tools. I now know how to use my inner resources to bring calm, creativity and vibrancy to my life. I realize that it is necessary to have boundaries and say “no” to things that deplete me in order to build a creative and meaningful life. Now I am able to build a successful business, contribute to my community, deepen my personal experiences and have fun!
Working with Jessica has definitely been a worthwhile investment of my time, energy and money.” ~Joan Van Orman
