Be like the bird that, passing on her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings.
(Victor Hugo)

My approach
After accumulating thousands of hours of multidisciplinary art therapy in a wide variety of target audiences, I felt a mission to bring the vast knowledge and gifts I received - to the world.
The Art Sense program is aimed at therapists or therapy students who have learned different treatment methods and want to integrate the arts into their work as an additional tool. Expressive art therapy is a creative tool that will upgrade any therapy, both in terms of the patient's and therapist experience.
Multidisciplinary art has an infinite ability to touch without focusing on the problem, sometimes even without talking about it.
