She believes in her core that art, sound, movement, words, and play offer great potential for healing and reconnection with self. We need to tap out of. our thinking mind and feel our way through that moment, that experience, that memory.

💥 The connection to journaling, drawing, painting, playing acting, dancing ... and diffusing the energy of a emotional tension.
💥 How children express themselves differently and why many are stifled from a young age. What's our role as parents to help embrace the arts, when we ourselves need to be in control?
💥 How we heal ourselves through the arts or identify what's getting in our way. It can be as gentle or as deep as we need it to be.
💥 Using our imagination and visualization and how our bodies/minds respond.
💥 How do our children express themselves in the world? Curiosity, physical, flow through nature, music etc
💥 Convenience Verses Skill... Let's stop correcting and fixing!
