Therapeutic Art Coach

Therapeutic Art might be described as "journaling in pictures".  It doesn't require any artistic talent and can be used by anyone.  There are a multitude of exercises to foster relaxation, stress reduction, and healing in group or private individual settings. Completed projects and exercises belong to the creator and can be shared with others or kept private.

Therapeutic art is not for everyone.  For some people, they find relaxation in meditation, or in keeping a journal, or massage therapy, or music therapy ... the list is extensive and as unique as the individual. Therapeutic art is just another option.

Each session is a 60- to 90-minute multi-sensory experience that begins by incorporating meditation music and exercises to get into a relaxed frame of mind.  We then talk about the project and its purpose for the session.  After a period of contemplation, the majority of the session is spent creating and completing the assignment. 

Sessions are also available for children and youth, age 6 and up.  The projects and exercises are tailored to meet the specific age, ability, needs, and understanding of the student.

I received my therapeutic art coach certification from Transformation Academy and PESI HealthCare, and have been in practice for more than 5 years.  An initial private session is $35 for an individual and $20 for each subsequent session.  Groups sessions of 2-12 people are $15 per person.  Initial child/youth sessions are 45 minutes long at $20; additional sessions are $15.  All materials and supplies are included in the base cost of the session.
