mind matters: drawing yourself home participant

With a visual arts background I know that the intent of art therapy is different from 'making art'. In Anna's session, her calm guidance led to personal revelations which released a well of creative expression. Freely floating and peaceful, I tap into this zone to remember the release and gentle energy I experienced under her guidance. I sincerely recommend Anna's art-therapy skills and would not hesitate to endorse her related gift as a death doula. -  Ingrid H, Visual Artist 

A recent art session led by Anna corresponded with news of a dear friend’s serious health decline. Although bereft of any artistic ability or talent, the picture I created (under Anna’s clear and gentle guidance) speaks of community and of connection. It is now pinned to my study noticeboard and helps me remember this friend and colleague with admiration, affection and comfort. I generally find such activities rather difficult, but Anna was able to communicate with our group – and each of its individuals – in a way that made sense and felt right at that time. - Mark H.
