When Life Throws You Curveballs, Use Your Creativity to Overcome Challenges

Has something happened that’s brought you to a standstill?

  • Maybe you’ve received a scary diagnosis that seems overwhelming.
  • Maybe you’ve lost your job, and have no clue what to do next.
  • Maybe your dearest loved one is gone, and day after day, your grief only gets harder to bear.

When you’re feeling too stretched and stressed by life… isolated and anxious… or absolutely STUCK...

How do you take your first step forward through loss, into a future where you can grow and thrive even when life is throwing its worst at you?

The amazing truth is, all the inner resources you need to defuse the challenge before you are close at hand.

They’re within your heart.

You only need a few simple tools and techniques to tap into them.

Who I Am & How I Can Help You Move Through your Challenges


I am Patricia Varga—visual artist, published author, business leader, and facilitator of creativity, healing and leadership in others.

In my mid-thirties, I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer.

In an instant I went from feeling vibrant, with my whole life ahead of me, to feeling overwhelmed by fear and anxiety. The questions kept coming: Will the surgery go well? Will the disease return? Will I survive?

Fortunately, my doctor caught my cancer early. Many years later, I have no evidence of the disease.

I am grateful for the science and technology of medicine.

I’m also grateful for something I discovered on my journey with cancer and chronic pain: the healing power of creativity.

Encouraged by my own journey of healing, I decided to share my knowledge and experience with others going through life’s challenges. I’ve become an expert in the connections between creativity and healing and the mind-body experience.

Beyond my education in English, writing, and publishing at Stanford and Harvard, I continued my training in the visual arts and communication through the Art Center College of Design.

I studied and continue to practice meditation with Deepak Chopra and his team.

I explored visualization with shamans and energy healing with Reiki Master Colleen Coleman.

I continue to create Ebru art, harnessing the power of marbling and its vibrant colors and patterns; and I find peace and hope in the music of Steven Halpern.

I am a certified consultant with The Barrett Values Center, certified trainer in Jack Canfield’s Success Principles, Compassionate Bereavement Care practitioner and most recently, certified and licensed hypnotherapist.

My training in and deep passion for these and other creative modalities have equipped me to help thousands of people discover their innate healing power and ability to tackle any challenge.

I’ve consulted with and coached medical school students, doctors, nurses, healthcare executives, people living with chronic pain and cancer, and survivors of domestic violence.

Cancer centers, hospitals, and more than 800 domestic violence shelters worldwide offer my programs.

And now, in the online version of my Create to Heal™ program, I’ll show you exactly how to unlock the healing power of your creativity… as I call it: “healing from the heart.”

What Exactly Is Create to Heal?


Create to Heal is a self-paced, online program that gives you a series of creative tools and techniques to help you…

  • Reduce stress, the number one cause of all major diseases.
  • Reinvigorate your imagination and other “super powers.”
  • Tap into your inner wisdom and healing … and transform challenges into allies.
  • Regain your sense of power and confidence by embracing and befriending the challenge.
  • Take charge of your healing process and become your own best health advocate.
  • Be the leader you envision yourself to be. 

When you realize your inherent creative potential, you’ll see so many benefits.

You’ll feel less stress.

You’ll clarify what matters most to you.

You’ll find yourself growing more resilient in the face of adversity. 

You’ll start viewing setbacks, challenges, and pain as chances to become more of who you want to be. 

Create to Heal is based on many years of research and personal experience with people going through serious illness and disease, chronic pain, fear and anxiety.

It is also based on my work with domestic violence survivors and shelter leaders, oncology and radiation oncology nurses, doctors, chaplains and spiritual care providers, social workers, psychologists, art therapists, hospital administrators, and hospice and palliative care specialists.

What You Get When You Enroll

in Create to Heal


You’ll get lifetime access to tutorials, videos, course material, music, art, affirmations and inspirational Messages in the Moment™ you can watch and download whenever you want, on any device.

In the videos, I’ll guide you through a powerful four-step method that galvanizes your ability to heal and get through the other side of any challenge. You will learn to:

  1. Tune into your inner wisdom.
  2. Shift your perspective on pain and the challenge before you.
  3. Embrace or befriend the challenge, and by so doing….
  4. Defuse the power this challenge has in your life.

To help you start moving through and getting results from this method, we’ll use:

  • Guided meditation and visualization.
  • Creative writing, including poetry and what I call “scribbling and doodling.”
  • A gratitude practice.
  • Uplifting and healing music and tones.
  • The color and motion of art.
  • The exploration of personal values.

Each module builds upon the other … so it’s best to experience the course in a progression. 

With all these methods in your toolkit, you’ll be well-equipped to develop your own creative “superpowers” and overcome life’s challenges.
