Nice to meet you!
​
Hands-on Art was founded in 2020 and is THE place to discover the power of Art.
We empower people to become the best version of themselves. We are offering private and group sessions to make any individual reach their full potential under the guidance of a licensed art therapist.
​
We want to offer our clients a safe haven where they can be themselves, are being listened to and where they can creatively express themselves.
Our mission is to make people find self-insight, freedom, happiness, balance and the power to get out of life what they truly want.

​
How did it start
​
​
Hands-on Art is founded in the year we will all never forget. Sometimes it takes a crisis to know what you want to do with your life.
The worldwide pandemic and following lockdowns made founder Laura Latacz discover art therapy as an effective way to keep her own sanity in times of quarantine and social distancing.
Ever since she was small she loves to draw, paint, build, and work with her hands. She has been always attracted to the arts and the beneficial effect it has on her.
​
Laura grew up in the Flemish part of Belgium. She has a Master in Communication Sciences and has been working throughout the years in marketing roles where consumer psychology played a big role. She lived in bustling cities like Berlin and Zurich. Currently she lives with her family in the beautiful town of Zug, Switzerland.
​
In 2020 Laura realised that life is short and that she wants to do what she loves most and what she is best at. With Hands-on Art Therapy she wants to help people the same way as she was helped with art therapy. Laura is a certified creative art therapist who graduated from the IEK Berlin (Institut für Entspannungstechniken & Kommunikation).
​
Laura blends life coaching themes and art therapy under the name therapeutic art coaching.
It is Laura's vision to create a community that brings art therapists/coaches and people together from all over the world, and makes the healing benefits of art therapy more accessible and known to a larger number of people. Laura envisions art therapy as wellness for the soul.
MEET LAURA
Hi, I am Laura Latacz, a certified art therapist and I am looking forward to showing you the wholesome effects of therapeutic art coaching. If you book an art coaching session I will be on the other side of the screen. I take art seriously and I believe every individual is intrinsically creative. I have a friendly and open-minded approach so that you can get the best out of each session with me.

More about me:
​
-
Certified Art Therapy graduate from IEK Berlin (Institut für Entspannungstechniken & Kommunikation)
-
I have no medical or psychology degree, which means I don't work with clients with diagnosed mental illnesses (e.g. depression, Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), ...) or people with addictions.
-
I am experienced with meditation techniques using video chat
-
I am non-judgmental, welcoming to people of any background, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin and religion.
-
In my therapy sessions I want to create a place where people feel accepted as they are, where they can create art without being judged for the end product but instead gain new insights and perspectives through the creative process of art making.
-
Beside the relaxing effect creating art has on you, I believe that it contributes to more self-understanding, acceptance and personal growth.
I love what I do
I look forward to meeting you and show you how making art can change your life !
Happy as always after a painting session!
