Confidence and feeling positive within ourselves are keys to living a fulfilling life. It helps us tackle challenges, pursue our passions, and feel comfortable in our own skin. But what if building self-confidence could also be incredibly fun? Enter Boob Art, an innovative and playful healing journey created by Kelly Fry from Miss Kelly Psychic Services and Kardina Collins from Espavo Therapies. This unique form of body art is changing lives, bringing joy, and helping women embrace their true selves through body positivity.
Kelly, a psychic, medium, healer, and mentor, explains, “Both Kardina and I have suffered on our journey, and we’ve done a lot of crying with the healing side of our journey. It’s been quite ugly trying to heal from lots of trauma, so Boob Art was birthed through wanting to bring a higher vibration to healing and bringing back love, joy, and playfulness.” Kardina, who has been on her healing journey for 20 years, adds, “It’s blossomed out of a drive for fun and joy, and I needed to break my cycle. I love the deep stuff, so I think it’s a good balance of fun and deep. The painting thing is so much fun.”

Boob Art originated from a simple yet powerful idea: combining body art with healing to create a fun and empowering experience. Kelly recounts, “We met at Geelong Botanical Gardens, and both Kardina and myself have done a lot of women’s circles where we’ve got naked. We both like fun, there’s a lot of mischievousness with us. So, it was bouncing ideas off each other. I do a lot of art classes with my tarot, and body art has become a bit of a thing. When I go to festivals, there’s body art, and I meet so many art therapists and am also creative. So, we just put Boob Art, Body Art, Body Positivity, canvas together, and we just ran with it.”
The enthusiasm was mutual. Kardina vividly remembers, “Kelly had many different ideas, and I was just like, ‘No, that’s what we’re doing.’ I remember feeling like this was big, and the energy behind it was exciting, a positive and wonderful feeling we both had.”
Boob Art is all about embracing one’s body, flaws and all and transforming vulnerability into a celebration of self. Kelly describes the process: “It is about embracing our jiggles, our flaws and being seen. Boob Art takes away the vulnerability of being so exposed. You’re painting yourself vibrant and colourful, and by the end of the workshop, ladies are dancing around embracing this creativity that they’ve created, and they’re feeling beautiful.”
Participants often arrive feeling timid and unsure, but the transformation is profound. Kardina shares, “They come in, and they’re timid with that anticipation of not knowing. I remember one woman, she was like, ‘Oh my God, I went out the other day, and I went bra-less, and I was like fuck it, I don’t care.’ She was radiant and glowing.”
The combination of fun and healing in Boob Art creates a unique experience that leaves participants feeling empowered and joyful. Kelly observes, “They’re walking in thinking ‘, oh my God, I can’t believe I’m going to do this’, and they get out of their comfort zones and they fully drop all masks or all layers of protection of what they put out to the world, and there’s just so much lightness and fun when everyone de-armours.”
Kardina adds, “When they arrive, we have a chat, a meditation to address their inner thoughts. It’s not a long process because we’re focusing on fun, but it’s still that aspect of acknowledging and letting go, letting their armour down and being vulnerable and open to encompass who they are and be seen. Then it’s just fun and laughs and jokes and I love it. Like glitter being squeezed out of their boobs and into the world.”
Kelly and Kardina see a bright future for Boob Art. Kelly envisions, “I did think it would come to the women’s festivals, and it has. I think it’ll be quite a big thing on the scale of putting fun back into your healing journey. I think it has the potential to be massive.”
Kardina concurs, “When Kelly and I were birthing it, we could see the avenues for it to branch out and grow. It’ll be part of Women’s Day events, and I think people will take it and make it different somehow. I think it’s so much fun that everyone will want to do it, so I think it will spread regardless of what we’re doing.”
For Kelly, the core messages of Boob Art are clear: “Empowerment is huge. It’s about making healing fun and bringing back a higher vibration of healing for women.”
Kardina emphasises, “Self-love, the inner child, empowerment because it is a powerful aspect of that transformation. It’s just like, ‘Oh, I can be seen. I can show my breasts,’ because there’s a lot of shame involved in our breasts. Especially as we mature; they’re older, they’re saggy, they’re not perky, they hang to the sides. All that stuff. The playfulness that is brought out in the woman—I mean, women have to cook and clean and work and be responsible and run the house and look after the children—that playful aspect is long forgotten, I think.”
For women curious about Boob Art but hesitant to take the leap, Kelly advises, “It is for women to break down their mindset, their barriers. ‘I’m just not there yet; I want to be involved in this; it looks amazing, but I’m not there yet.’ I always hear that, and I feel like those are the perfect people.”
Kardina encourages, “Just do it. Don’t think. Just come and play. It doesn’t have to be this big, ‘Oh my God, I’m getting my tits out.’ It’s just something a little fun to do. It’s so much fun.”
Boob Art is a breath of fresh air—a fun, empowering, and transformative journey that helps women reconnect with their inner joy and confidence. Kelly sums it up beautifully: “My personal thing is to become a piece of art. You become the masterpiece and put as much colour into your day as you want to.”
