About Mariyah

I grew up in an environment where creativity and intuition were part of everyday life. My mother is an artist who worked extensively with spontaneous painting, so artistic expression was always present at home. Later, we both took a spontaneous-painting facilitation course together, which deepened that connection to art as a tool for awareness and expression and truly changed my life! Over the years, life has guided me toward a holistic and spiritually grounded lifestyle. I’ve always been drawn to practices that integrate mind, body, and emotion, and that path eventually guided me to Iyengar yoga, where I am currently in training to become a teacher as one more beautiful tool for self-discovery and healing. Art and holistic living have shaped both my personal life and the way I approach my work. They help me stay connected, present, and able to support others with clarity and balance, and if I can help guide others to learning this tool of such powerful healing, then my mission is complete!

About the lesson

Spontaneous Painting is not about knowing how to paint, or producing something beautiful. It is about accessing the emotions, memories, and inner experiences that lie beyond your conscious mind, and tapping into the healing that comes from expressing what is keep silent and concealed, but actually dictates how you interact with yourself and the world around you. Through the IamI Method, you meet yourself with honesty, softness, and acceptance.

Each session blends grounding techniques, gentle meditation, intuitive movement, and expressive exercises that help you shift out of everyday thinking and into a more receptive, intuitive state. We begin by settling into the body, using breathwork, soft stretches, or light, playful dances that release tension and invite presence. This prepares you to tap into your body, for your inner world to open naturally, without force.

From this grounded place, you transition into the spontaneous painting portion. Here, you are invited to create without planning, without expectations, and without judgment. The process is not about technique or recognizable images, it is about giving expression to whatever arises within you, allowing deeper layers of emotion, intuition, and symbolic truth to flow onto the page. In this state, the conscious mind steps back, and your unconscious begins to speak.

As the images emerge, they often reveal emotional patterns, internal stories, and old beliefs that quietly shape your life. Through free expression, you can release these patterns, understand them with compassion, and gently begin to reprogram them. Painting becomes a direct, honest way to communicate with yourself; bypassing words, analysis, and self-criticism.

We end each session with a gentle interpretation phase, exploring the artwork not to judge it or decode it, but to understand how it feels and what it may be reflecting back to you. This reflective process offers insight, clarity, and healing.

Every session creates a nurturing space where creativity becomes healing, expression becomes liberation, and your artwork becomes a compassionate mirror of your inner world. It is a journey of release, self-understanding, and deep acceptanc, of your art, your process, and your whole self, slowly allowing you to reprogram all of your trauma-based beliefs.
