Here's how I know....
A few years ago, I felt the ache of creative disconnect.
I wasn’t sure who I was anymore—except I knew I was tired:
- Tired of the hustle.
- Tired of wondering if my art even mattered.
- Tired of silencing the part of me that longed to create.
So I entered the forest and began again.
With sticks, stones, and breath—because nature is my medium—I made art that wasn’t for exhibit or sale.
...It was art that helped me remember who I am.
...It led me to a new way. A truer way.
That’s where art-based mindfulness was born:
a practice for artists, sensitives, and anyone ready to feel present, whole, and creatively alive again.

This Work Follows a Deeper Story
Rooted in the Hero’s Journey, it's a path we walk together.
You are not alone if…
- You ache to create something meaningful… but feel blocked or burnt out
- You compare your work, your life, your voice—and always fall short
- Your creative spirit feels like a luxury, lost to the demands of “real life”
- Your notebooks, dreams, and inner compass feel distant or forgotten
- You used to feel inspired—now, you just feel overwhelmed
There’s a gentle way forward.
Â
At Jodi Rose Studio, we don’t create to impress—we create to remember.
To heal. To connect. To reclaim the sacred parts of ourselves buried beneath expectation, performance, and doubt.
Whether you’re returning to yourself after a long pause...
Or simply longing to live with more presence, depth, and wonder—
There’s space waiting for you here.

MEET YOUR GUIDE
Jodi Rose Gonzales
Artist. Art Therapist. Founder of iROSE Art-Based Mindfulness.
Behind the titles is a path much like your own—one marked by seasons of doubt, and moments of wondering where I belonged.
I’ve moved through creative disconnect; I’ve carried the burden of uncertainty; and I’ve returned to center—not once, but again and again. This cyclical journey taught me what I now share with you:
Creativity isn't a luxury—it's your birthright. Transformation isn't just possible—it's an art form you already possess.
My work emerges from the intersection of trained expertise and lived experience, offering you guidance and encouragement as you navigate your life’s next chapter.
