About

Does your heart hurt? Have you lost a loved one to death or divorce and your mourning feels unbearable? Grief and loss also comes from relocating, breaking up with a significant other, fired from a job, a broken friendship, a pet dying, abusive childhood, or substance abuse. Grief can feel heavy and numbing. You may feel anxiety, anger, depression and are isolating. Self-medicating through alcohol and drugs is common, too. Negative emotions are balled up and difficult to untangle alone. Do you want to move through the journey of grief into a place where it feels "more normal"? View 4 Photos Grief, loss and trauma consists of painful feelings trapped in memory and stored in the body. I use story telling, writing and other art forms to process painful feelings to re-frame and release those feelings. Art allows the participant to move gently in the journey of health and healing.
