Pregnant journalist finds calm through art therapy at Sedona resort
A pregnant journalist visited Mii Amo wellness resort in Boynton Canyon, Sedona, Arizona, in July 2026 to try art therapy.
Wildfires and rain closed trails
Recent wildfires had forced the closure of most hiking trails in the area. Monsoon season rains made the few remaining open tracks slick and unsafe. These conditions pushed visitors away from typical outdoor activities like trail running.
Artist Cottage offered a quiet space
The resort provided an Artist Cottage with views of the canyon for guests to use. Inside this quaint room, the journalist picked up a paintbrush and began watercolor painting. This hands-on activity served as a reprieve from second-trimester stress and anxiety.
Art therapy helps express inner feelings
Experts say art therapy allows participants to express internal thoughts and place them outside themselves. This process helps people see their emotions differently and create room for new information. The practice can also assist individuals coping with trauma or low self-esteem.
