Form to Feeling Workshop
This was a class I created with Studio Cellar in Columbia that connected art and emotion.
Heart Spa
Women are often misdiagnosed with anxiety when they’re really having a heart attack. This program helped women better know the connection between their emotions, thoughts and hearts.
I hosted the first Heart Spa with Women Heart, the National Coalition of Women with Heart Disease at City Art
And the second Heart Spa with Palmetto Health Heart Hospital in Columbia at 701 Whaley
Jakes Journey
Toward the end of my doctoral training, in the aftermath of September 11, I wrote Jake’s Journey, a sketchbook that I used to guide parents in discussing complicated emotions with their children.
Jake and I conducted Jake’s Journey workshops with children and families in South Carolina and Georgia.
ChildSource
ChildSource was a monthly newspaper I published for two years to provide information and community resources for parents.
