Creative Table Studio

We set the table for parents and caregivers of neurodivergent children to engage in the creative process with community, care, and joy.

Expressive Arts Coaching

These 1:1 Coaching sessions focus on your individual well-being, resiliency, and self-care goals. Lola draws on the creative arts to design coaching engagements that flex and adapt — meeting each client in the way that works best for you.

Coaching sessions take place virtually.

(Note: Expressive arts coaching is not the same as art therapy or psychotherapy. Please seek the care of a licensed therapist if you require clinical support.)

Creativity Workshops & Groups

These workshops and groups are our invitation as adults to put aside the to-do lists and engage in some creative play. Designed for parents and caregivers of neurodivergent children, these groups aim to create community and connection between people with shared experiences.

Workshops and groups take place virtually and in-person in the Los Angeles area.

We believe that…

  • Everyone has a right to engage in the creative process with care and joy.

  • Accessibility, accommodation, and neuro-affirming practices make the experience better for everyone.  

  • Creativity, play, and art are not just for kids, but also for grown-ups.

  • Parents and caregivers need support and community in order to do their very important work of caregiving.
