JACQUI VAN WEEL - ARTIST

My name is Jacqui van Weel and I am the creator of SoulFlakes.

Growing up on the Mornington Peninsula, I have always had a natural affinity with nature and a warm attunement to other people. I enjoyed creative arts from a young age as well as being among nature: swimming, hiking and skiing. I have a deep appreciation of the mountains, the bush and the sea, living for long periods in these locations.

My spiritual journey began at the age of 17 after unexpected health issues led me to immerse myself in various types of healing modalities including Reiki and energy healing. As I raised my family, I continued my work and studies in a number of different areas becoming an OpenSky Qigong and Tai Chi for Arthritis facilitator, a Reiki master, a Certified Creatively Fit Coach, a massage therapist and Bowen therapist.

This transformative journey has allowed me to draw upon my experience to help people enhance their wellbeing.  I use a multifaceted approach to help people raise their energy and I firmly believe we have the power to change our lives.  This includes our physical, psychological and spiritual health.

For 15 years my husband, 3 children and I resided in a small town in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales.  Jindabyne was an incredible source of inspiration for my work and with a long-term interest in all things artistic, I started to direct more of my time to painting and reexploring this childhood passion.  The knowledge and experience I have gained during my journey has led me to the creation of SoulFlakes which are beautiful, unique works of art designed to support connection to authentic self.  

When painting a SoulFlake, I get myself into a meditative state, I clear my mind and raise my energy.  I then intuitively pick words, symbols and colours to invoke a healing response.  This may stimulate personal growth, a deep connection with self and peace.

SoulFlakes are a calm and beautiful blessing within a room.  Every SoulFlake is completely individual.  The originals are for sale (please see my gallery page)  and can also be purchased as handmade jewellery or Redbubble merchandise.

SoulFlakes can be intuitively created just for you. 

I have since returned to the Mornington Peninsula and continue to run my SoulFlakes studio as well a number of art, energy and healing experiences such as ‘Colour Your heArt’ workshops, and regular in person and online Qigong workshops and Tai Chi classes which are warm, gentle and engaging.

I love using the creative arts for expression and enjoy facilitating and supporting healing, growth and connection in my work and relationships.

We get to choose in every moment.
