Art as Therapy...

Some clients find that even if they are not ready for Art Therapy, that engaging in art making is still therapeutic.

The act of being creative releases seratonin, dopamine and endorphins allowing our brains to enter an Alpha brainwave pattern that replicates the brain waves found during meditation.

One of my beautiful clients, prefers to choose art projects to work on. Her most recent project was a copper wire 'Tree of Life'. As she mindfully twisted the wire strands, chose each crystal and intuitively decided where they belonged on her tree, my client was able to work through some things that had been concerning her, because of this calm mind space she had entered.
