InnerHeal.ing
I’m Noriko Tanigawa — a meditation guide, art teacher, and colored pencil artist.I’m deeply passionate about meditation as a path of self-connection and healing, and about teaching art as a gentle, grounding practice. Whether through meditation or creative work, my intention is always the same: to create a safe, supportive space where you can slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with yourself.
A GENTLE, TRAUMA-AWARE PRACTICE
I approach meditation as a way to gently reconnect with the inner child, cultivate self-trust, and support deep inner healing. My guidance is invitational rather than prescriptive — there is no forcing, fixing, or striving.I do not attach my teachings to any specific religion, dogma, or spiritual system. Everything I share comes from lived experience, daily practice, and what I’ve learned through my own healing journey. I believe the wisdom we seek already lives within us, and meditation is a way to remember how to listen.
