Laila’s journey with art began in childhood, when creativity
became her safe space and the language of her soul. Over the
years, her expression evolved from drawing to wire sculpture and
three-dimensional art, with each creation reflecting her deep
connection to joy, freedom, and self-discovery. Art was never just
a hobby for her — it was a way of understanding herself and the
world around her.

After completing her engineering degree, Laila chose to follow her
true calling by studying pedagogy and working as an early years
educator. Through this path, she nurtured curiosity, confidence,
and emotional expression in young learners, using creativity as a
bridge for growth and connection. Witnessing the transformative
power of art in children further affirmed her belief in its healing
potential.

Her journey took a profound turn when she discovered the Holistic
Integrated Creative Arts Therapy program at The Holistic
Academy. What began as curiosity soon became a life-changing
realization — that art could be a powerful tool for healing,
reflection, and personal transformation at every stage of life.

Today, as a facilitator of the Holistic Integrated Creative Arts
Therapy course, Laila is devoted to sharing this passion. She gently
guides others on their own journeys of self-discovery, helping
them reconnect with their creativity and embrace art as a pathway
toward healing, awareness, and inner balance.
