A Studio Shaped by Creativity, Regulation & the Sea

Stacia Boynton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Expressive Arts Therapist whose work blends psychology, neuroscience, somatics, and creative modalities to support regulation and emotional resilience across the lifespan. She holds a Master’s degree in Expressive Arts Therapy from Lesley University and has spent years supporting YOUTH, families, and communities in both clinical and nonprofit settings.

Before founding Sea to Believe, Stacia worked in inpatient mental health environments and alongside organizations supporting youth facing serious medical challenges. These experiences shaped her commitment to trauma-informed, body-based care and reinforced a core truth that continues to guide her work: healing happens most effectively when people feel safe, seen, and supported.

Informed by nervous system science and inspired by the wisdom of the sea, Stacia developed Seasources™, her signature, ocean-inspired regulation tools. Drawing from the rhythms, movements, and creatures of the ocean, Seasources™ translate complex nervous system concepts into creative, sensory practices that support grounding, steadiness, and emotional regulation for both youth and adults.

The sea is not simply a backdrop for this work. It is a teacher. Its natural patterns of expansion and rest, movement and stillness, offer a living model of regulation that is woven throughout the philosophy of Sea to Believe. This language of rhythm and return invites the nervous system to settle, adapt, and restore.
