✨ About Me

Hi, I’m Lucia Engel ✨ storyteller, creative arts therapist, and founder of the Soul Spark Community.

I’m also the designer of The Sweet Spot ~ a place to Spark your Story through neuro-emotional resiliency ~

People often describe me as sparkling, creative, and strong.

Over the years, I’ve discovered that my true strength lies in guiding transformational processes; building neuro-emotional resiliency through art, story, movement, and nature remembrance.

And in that work… I found something precious.

✨ A Sweet Spot — the place where healing, creativity, success, and freedom come together.

🌸 My Journey

For 15 years, I lived in Guatemala, raising my daughter Yaiza (now 18). She was my first “why” ; the reason I built my projects and businesses.

Creativity became the foundation for everything. I started a Fair Trade jewelry project that supported 7 families for 13 years, helping them create a better future for their children. Yaiza often came with me to play in the camps, and our creations were even exhibited at the Denver Art Museum.

I also opened three second-hand clothing stores, where local Mayan women and I sold also handmade clothes. My daughter and her friends played dress-up and built little houses in the shop.

When Yaiza turned 12, we returned to Holland, and my work transformed into a Sparkling Self-Love Storytelling Business, guiding heart-led changemakers into empowerment. At the same time, I might have ADHD, and love having different projects to feel spacious and let my creativity run free 🌈 , I worked in a youth prison, engaging with deeper trauma work, and began teaching neuro-emotional resiliency in schools through playful, creative programs.

These years bore fruit 🍎. They taught me that when we weave art, play, and community into our lives, we uncover strengths we never knew we had.

🌟 The Golden Thread

Everywhere I go, one truth runs through my work:

✨ Emotions are what spark our lives. They are not mistakes, not even the darker ones; they are messages, waiting to be transformed — love notes from within.

And stories? 📖 They are the keys that unlock, release, and transform them.

Today, my “why” has grown. It began with my daughter, and now it’s for all children; the young ones, and the children living in adult bodies who still long to be seen, heard, and free.

Through my own journey, I’ve learned this:
✨ When we give voice to our silenced parts, we don’t just heal; we spark.

And that spark changes everything. 💫

Your story was never meant to silence you.
It was meant to set you free.

✨ With warmth and a heart-felt smiling spark,
Lucia Engel 🌹
