In this episode of The Grapevine Wellness Show, host Jolyn Armstrong sits down with Paulette Gill, founder of Art Therapy Studio of Reno, for a thoughtful and illuminating conversation about healing beyond words.

Paulette is a master’s-level, trauma-informed art therapist who helps individuals reconnect with themselves through creative expression. Together, Jolyn and Paulette explore what art therapy really is, why creativity can access places traditional talk therapy sometimes can’t, and how the body, nervous system, and imagination all play a role in emotional healing.

This episode gently challenges common misconceptions about art therapy, explains why clients are the true experts of their own inner worlds, and offers listeners simple, accessible ways to use art for regulation, insight, and self-awareness — no artistic skill required.

Whether you’re curious about art therapy, navigating stress or life transitions, or simply interested in holistic approaches to wellness, this conversation offers insight, compassion, and practical takeaways you can use right away.
