A HEALING SPACE OF ART & YOGA
Art Without Barriers
Henriett’s art is appearing in various forms of existence. It represents paintings, objects, handmade clothes and jewellery, sound, yoga and mindfulness practices – all the forms of physical expression that she is able to embrace. She is putting a lot of work in self-awareness, aiming to be a good channel, so that each piece becomes a glance to eternity. Being aware that we are all filters of creation, when we surrender to the call of our souls to embrace freedom and joy, each work of art becomes a snapshot of the connection of united light (love, consciousness) that we all carry in our hearts and a mirror to our state at that moment. In fact, we can consider our paintings, songs, free movements as such. The path is a combination of joy and self-reflection, which deepens the process of diving into ourselves in a gentle and loving way. This is the journey she is calling you upon. Ready to see?

“My purpose is to bring a smile to your face and lighten up your heart through colour, movement and sound.”
PAINTINGS
Colours have a deep emotional effect on our psyche, whether we are aware of it or not. A healing effect, used frequently in art therapy. It makes people’s emotions heal just by playing with colours, without having to know the whole neuroscientific background of it all. However, colours also affect on us by influencing our mood, or expressing it. When we regularly connect with the artworks, they help our healing process. If you think about it, everything is resonance: colour, sound, atoms building us up. For me, it has always been pure logic to think that since we all resonate thoughts, emotions, intentions, our whole being in fact, we’re affecting each other all the time. At least, that’s how I’ve always experienced life. I’ve added some of my art stories, but as an artwork lives further through every observer, I’d be glad to hear about how it has affected you!

Courses to HEAL
Going through a difficult childhood brought a natural interest for exploring all kinds of therapies and self-healing methods since 2010. Yet, I have been fortunate enough to learn music from a young age and start painting a few decades later, those activities have been my best friends to help me stand the storms of life. This is how I landed in art therapy. This long process of balancing Jungian concepts of psychology, and filtering them through my art helped me understand a lot about our psyche, emotions and body. Most importantly, how they interact with each other, and how we can use this connection for a wholesome balance in life.
As an art therapist I’ve been working with individual sessions, groups, dancing guided meditation and during the past years I took a deep dive into feminine archetypes, which I’ve summarized as a workshop.
YOGA
In spite of all my efforts to keep my balance, life brought some hard changes, and I’ve ended up in a midlife burnout. The good thing in it: I was finally ready for yoga! It has been a great help throughout the years of recovery, and I’ve been engaging in several forms of it, until I’ve found the one closest to me. Body awareness is so important, as the body is the doorway to our subconscious mind. Once we understand it better and building a trust relationship with it, we open way to a much deeper wisdom in ourselves. They say we have three brains – the second is the heart, the third is the gut. Yoga works with all three by balancing the lymphatic system and activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps us relax. Something we need so much these days, to keep our balance among the obligations of a rushing life. Or just to enjoy the movements and feel the flow!

About
Always a big fan of nature, I realized how important it is to use nature’s power through the healing effect of natural food, movement and creativity in many forms. Sound is a new companion on this journey, and I’m learning to use my body as an instrument. That is a breathtaking path! (Literally… XD) It contributes a little to everyday life by allowing my energy to flow easily, in harmony. Art and creativity have been my safe haven ever since I was a kid, and I wanted to share this sacred space with you, too. With this purpose, HenriEntti has been founded in 2018.

How can a piece of art help us? Every time we look at it, we might discover something new that has been hidden before. The colours and shapes have a deep emotional effect on us. If you feel that you are so deeply connected to an artwork that you want to own it, It probably touched you on a deep soul level and can help you sync with a vibration towards becoming whole on the long term. It’s a never-ending journey, so buckle up! 🙂
If you feel drawn to buy a piece, feel free to contact me via email, and we’ll discuss the details. In case you have other questions, same path: info@henrientti.com. Happy to hear from you!

Check out my blog!
The purpose of this blog is to offer an overview about anything you might need, when you’ve landed in a burn-out. I plan to make videos and online courses that contribute to the subject, and you’ll find some basic tips for what to pay attention to if you find yourself close to a burn-out, or you’re already suffering from some early consequences of a stressful life. Probably most of it you already know, however, seeing it as a complete, structured guide can be helpful for the mind to process it and make a conscious decision which ones are for you. By choosing one to start, you’re in fact creating an “action-plan” and can start immediately by applying the chosen individual elements into your daily life. Don’t be too hard on yourself, though. Simple is the key to success. I’ve learned on my own skin how hard it is to be patient with change, but let’s be honest, change is hard work and perseverance, so we also need to have some fun on the way!
If you have questions about any mentioned topic, or you’re struggling with something that you could use another point of view on, please let me know. This way, we’re helping each other, and also those who might come after us in this process. I hope you enjoy the journey, and you find some tips that help you heal.

Embrace the unlimited possibilities and the calling of your soul!
I believe that Every challenge comes for a reason in our lives. In that sacred moment, we’re met with a choice: consider ourselves victims (but then not much progress is happening, is there?) or roll up our sleeves again and get to work. But we don’t have to do it alone. Sometimes we can’t, even, as learning about our inner world, which has a lot to do with emotions, our mirror neurons can only learn from another human being while building a trust relationship, a healthy attachment to another human being.
Back in 2012 I had a huge emotional breakdown, which led me to leave my country behind, and go discover the world as far as I could. I have been living in France, Austria, Mexico, Greece, and settled down for a longer period in the Netherlands with my Dutch – then not yet – husband. Lately it has been my years-long burnout, which forced me to confront myself on several levels, and taught me to love myself like never before, in fact – as I’ve realized on the way – like no one has been able to love themselves during long generations in our family. And I’m not alone with this. It is, in fact, part of our human journey at some point. We all deal with it differently, but we are here to do so. And that’s hard work sometimes. Understanding basic concepts of schema therapy now, having experienced that clear goals and visions give the boost I need to start a day and knowing that joy is a key element of manifesting what we’ve envisioned, I came to understand that keeping my inner child happy and bringing her up in a healthy and balanced manner is the recipe that helps me create the life I’ve always dreamed about. Maybe very differently that I’d firth thought, but who knows? Life is full of surprises once we allow it to flow.
So what are the dreams that YOU want to manifest?
I’ve always been a big dreamer. But a dreamer is not what I want to be. I’d like to create those things I cherish, dream them out, bring them to the world, and let them be seen or heard. As a child, I’ve dreamed of becoming a marine biologist, because the source of life fascinated me. While it still does, I’d come to understand another piece of myself, which felt her piano was her best friend and took shelter in that haven every day. I’ve learned to embrace the joy and freedom of improvisation. I’ve also learned my limitations, which is honestly very healthy, and something to work towards every day, broadening the space within and without. This helps me set new dreams, which are with both feet on Mother Earth. And then suddenly, my preferences fall into their place, which makes life a lot simpler. Whatever the future holds, I’ll be continuing my creative endeavours, whatever form they may take in the future. And I wish the same for you – hence the space for experiencing your own creativity freely, with a child’s innocence. This journey is so rewarding and full of joy!
And finally, I dream about a conscious and responsible world, where we all live in freedom, equality, and share values based on love and compassion towards each other, and this planet we live on. Where simplicity and protecting our environment is a value. I’m aiming to help that process of transition with my actions every day. Do you wish the same for yourself?
