Creative Juices is the concept of artist, blogger and health coach Patricia Biesen. She is both a graduate of the American Academy of Art and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. She has one eclectic career filled with national art exhibits as well as guest blogs for the likes of Kris Carr’s Crazy Sexy Cancer. When she first started health coaching her initial intention was focused on helping clients with food allergies. As a person living with multiple food allergies, adrenal fatigue, and thyroid disease she knows how difficult self-care can be.  Along the way, she discovered that many of her clients were also unhappy creatives. Sensitivity and creativity sometimes go hand and hand. Perhaps on the path to perfect digestion, one could also find unabashed self-love and a life worth living. 

 

There are many things that block an artist from his/her path such as addictions, low self-esteem, depression, lack of support or simply the exhaustion from having a “day job” while pursuing other dreams. Creative Juices provides the support and tools to help artists lead happy, colorful, healthy and authentic lives. Biesen believes that self-care is the highest form of art. Your food, thoughts, exercise, knowledge and perspective are the tools necessary to create the most beautiful art ever: YOU!

 

Biesen is also a passionate supporter of positive body image. As a young girl she had a growth disorder called precocious adolescence causing the body to enter puberty at a rapid state. Precocious adolescence has been reported as being caused by hormones from dairy and meat products. By the time Biesen was nine years old she had already grown to full adult height. 

 

Biesen's other passion is social media. A prolific blogger, she has written for ChicagoNow, Blog World Expo, Eight Women Dream, Conscious Divas, and Living Harvest Tempt, to name a few. Her work was recently published in Rebelle Society's Best of Rebelle Society Vol I: Celebrating the Art of Being Alive

 

In “non-professional” terms she can also be described as the happiest coffee drinker ever, a defender of the beauty of the color: orange, a lover of jellyfish and other ethereal beings and a Mae West quote aficionado.
