About With Love From Goa

With Love From Goa was founded by Louise Fernandes

With Love From Goa (WLFG) is a community-rooted creative studio based in South Goa, dedicated to promoting emotional well-being and self-expression through the arts. Our spaces bring together therapeutic practice, education, and the joy of making—creating an inclusive environment where people of all ages can connect, reflect, and grow.

Founded by a qualified Art Therapist and Educator, WLFG combines over 15 years of experience across schools, charities, and community organisations in the UK and India. We believe in the transformative power of art—not only as a form of expression but as a vital tool for healing and empowerment.

Through art therapy sessions, creative workshops, and handcrafted products, we offer a platform for skill-sharing, collaboration, and mindful engagement. Our ethos is grounded in compassion, accessibility, and the belief that creativity should be a part of everyday life.

WLFG is led by a registered practitioner with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), and a member of both the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT) and the Art Therapy Association of India (TATAI).
