ARTS AND WELLNESS CONSULTING

As an extension of my Therapeutic Arts / Creative Wellness  practice I have developed the Arts and Wellness Consulting service. This Arts and Wellness Consulting service has been designed for organizations and communities who want to integrate visual arts based wellness processes into their programs and services.

Designing Arts and Wellness Programs
This service has been developed for Artist, Community Educators, Social Services Workers, HR Professionals and Mental Health Practitioners who want to participate in, organize and lead arts and wellness programs within their organizations or communities.

​“Art is the creation of forms symbolic of human feeling.”
​ – Susanne Langer


Strengths Based Arts and Wellness Process​  
The Strengths Based Arts and Wellness process is a person - centered process for discovering, integrating and then assessing the creative strengths, mental wellness and resilience found within an organization or community.


“Art does not reproduce what is visible, it makes things visible.”
― Paul Klee
