Welcome to the Wild Sunflower Wellness blog
written by Leanne, Morton, LPC, ATR, licensed mental health therapist, registered art therapist, and mother of two.
Think of this as a cozy little nook just for you — a place to explore the tender, complex, and deeply human experience of motherhood and womanhood. I share reflections on art therapy, holistic well-being, spirituality, and navigating motherhood in today’s world.
My hope is that something here makes you feel a little less alone, a little more seen, and maybe even inspired to take one small, nurturing step toward yourself today.
