  • ★★★★★ Heartfelt and Healing

    "There is something deeply healing about being reminded that creativity doesn't begin in the mind.

    It begins in relationship. Relationship with sensation, with curiosity, with breath, and with the quiet places within ourselves that have been waiting to be met. This is what I love about Permission to Feel. It doesn't ask you to become more creative. It gently helps you remember that the creative impulse has always been there. Through simple, body-led practices,

    Jessenia offers a spacious and compassionate way of reconnecting with the Inner Artist that so many of us learned to hide. As a somatic therapist, I appreciate the care with which this book invites people away from performance and toward presence.

    There is no pressure to create something beautiful. Instead, there is an invitation to listen, to play, and to discover what wants to emerge when the body feels safe enough to express itself. I can imagine this becoming a meaningful companion for anyone longing to reconnect with the healing powers of creativity, especially those who have spent years believing they were "not artistic.""

  • ★★★★★ LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

    A beautiful invitation to come home to yourself.

    Permission to Feel is so much more than a coloring book — it is a journey into creativity, embodiment, and self-connection. Through breath, body awareness, color, and guided practices, this book creates a gentle space to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the Inner Artist within.

    I love how it removes the pressure to create something “perfect” and instead invites curiosity, presence, and authentic expression. It reminds us that creativity is not something we have to earn or prove — it is already within us, waiting to be welcomed home.

    Permission to Feel offers a beautiful pathway back to your own aliveness.

    A heartfelt, inspiring, and nourishing experience.

    This is not just a book you read — it is a practice you feel ❤️”

About the author —

Permission to Feel was created by Jessenia Nauta — queer, non-binary, Latine somatic healer and artist with Cañari and Taíno ancestry. After 15 years in VFX compositing on Marvel and Disney productions, Jessenia found somatic healing as the path back to creative aliveness. somaCREATIVE™ is the ecosystem they built from that journey.
